ook em ' U.T. campus buzzes under H.S. activify 1 he University of Texas, home of the Texas Longhoms, was also a place for many people out- side of the college. High school stu- dents often used its facilities for their own benefit as well. They could research history, sci- ence, and English papers in the University ' s extensive library. Books needed for class and any supplies necessary for campus life could usually be found in the UT bookstore. In addition the band was con- nected to UT by raising money selling concessions at the Long- horn ' s home games. I always go down to the U.T. bookstore on the drag whenever I have to get a certain book for Eng- lish because I can almost always find it, senior Robert Barnett said. The library was also a place where many went to do research and study. If I have a major paper coming up I like to go there because I can usually find some information that I can use. I hate going to a library, looking for a book, and then find- ing out that they don ' t even have it, senior Jennifer Plant said. The University of Texas was beneficial for those who knew it was one of the best kept secrets. Studying the card catalog at the U.T. library freshman Jason Bryan finds facts for a re- port.

rats Militari; kids face stress through moves tailing a new school isn ' t very fun even for the average per- son. But when you ' re a military brat it ' s often a common oc- curance to be uprooted from place to place and school to school. My dad has been in the mil- itary for twenty years now. We ' ve moved a lot but I ' ve known people who have moved more than me, senior Steve Brown said. Because the school is located so close to Bergstrom Air Force Base, it has many Air Force brats each year. I ' ve gone here since kindergar- ten even though my dad is in the Air Force. He always goes on his assignments by himself so he can save us from the hardships of start- ing over, senior Robert Boatman said. Being a military kid has it ' s se- rious disadvantages. Often times it creates a strain on the family life. I hate making new friends. When I lived in Las Vegas I had the best friends in the world. Then my dad told us we had to move and I really hated leaving them, Brown said. There are, however, advantages to being an Air Force brat. Mil- itary kids get to see more exotic places overseas and travel a lot. My dad was stationed in Iran in the late seventies. That was re- ally interesting. Even though I was young and barely remember it, I still remember the sights and the people. It was really interesting, senior Matt Dworacyk said. Even with their differences, mil- itary kids are one of the best kept secrets. Paying his way into a dance, senior Steve Sagerty is one of the many military brats who has had to meet new friends each time his family has been reassigned to another base.
