As a result, many of them have turned to extra- ordinary excitements to break the monotony of academic rigors. With the addition of a mountain west of the Student Union, Military Science students practiced the techniques of rappelling. The newly constructed tower sent more than one student's heart to their stomach as they took their first jump over the edge. At the other end of the rope were students who went below the ground.

The chal- lenge and excitement of ex- ploring the alien environment for three hours captured the interest of many students. For a deeper underground experience, students par- ticipated in the scuba diving class. Wearing attire that re- sembles a sea-world monster, students learned the skills needed to explore lake bot- toms, ocean floors and swim- ming pools. Other students such as Keitha Adair, sophomore, sad- dled up and did some bronco- busting in area rodeos; or John Savage, sophomore, who took to the sky in a hang-glider. Not everyone turned to the extra-ordinary for exci- tement. Intramurals provided athletic competition and spirit- ed rivalries for those who wished to keep their feet on the ground. Other students enjoyed the less rigorous ac- tivities of bowling and roller skating. However a student spent his free-time, it was the perfect break from studies. 6 -Michele Prentice

Patience and persistence were necessary characteristics for surviving registration. Many students spent hours in line to pay their school bills. Valuable friendships began while students were Mingling on tMain Street here we come! This was the cry as more than 1800 students jammed that last box into the back seat in preparation for an unfor- gettable journey. Whether they traveled five or 500 miles to get here, it became a turning point in their lives. College became home and friends became family. Sad? Maybe for the families, but the students didn't seem to mind at all. As a matter of fact, they were too busy having and making fun to be homesick. Socially, those first few weeks were busy times for students. Skating, jogging, eat- ing, walking, and just driving around, provided some of the Ill ook out, Springfield, most popular forms of enter- tainment. The one thing, how- ever, that most students seemed to excel at was min- gling. Day and night, students clustered on the sidewalk running down the middle of campus tthe Main Street'Q, enjoying and making valuable friendships. It was a relaxed time, and the usual pressures to llget a date weren't at all evident. People were anxious to meet other people, not as a prospect, but as a fellow human being. Classes finally began, and students started a new exper- ience in their college careers - studying. Reactions to this necessity were varied; some hated it, some loved it, and some didn't do enough of it t. form an opinion. Like it or not, studies soon played a dominant role in daily life, and the teachers didn't let their classes forget it. At this point, free time was less available, and therefore students enjoyed it even more. The routine 0 college life had begun.
