IF(g(Q)]pl(g ©@mm1fe Although every year brings with it new faces and per- sonahties, one common element has remained a part of Creighton, and that is its people. The people actually make up the university, whether it be academically, socially or athletically. Without these people there would not be a university, only several acres of land with empty buildings. New traditons begin each year and give students a sense of belonging. These traditions will continue to be a part of their lives. Although the faculty and staff remain much the same from year to year and the climate of students may change, there will always be a Creighton University.

Sometimes the most important things learned at college weren ' t about chemistry, accounting or history. The most important things learn- ed dealt with people, and how to get along better. Enjoying yourself without neglec- ting your studies was a problem that faced most everyone on campus at one time or another. For those who found the time, many on campus activities were available. Omaha, too, offered inviting diver- sions for all kinds of moods and feel- ings. Aside from rock concerts and other musical events, a wide variety of cultural and social happenings drew the attention of many on weekends. Campus Life wasn ' t all fun and games. At times, especially during exams, it was very hectic and sometimes frustrating. Studying all night for an exam and not getting the grade you thought you deserved was an experience like no other. All the knowledge gained by learn- ing about the War of 1812 or Karl Marx were not as valuable as what was learned about meeting new peo- ple and giving yourself to them. 14
