rise =A ris Student Life Okay, so how is Student Life a rise above the ordinary? Before one can appreciate the distinct changes, he has to look at the traditional activities and events that continually rise above the ordinary. I don ' t understand. Well, even though we always have Elderhostel, summer school, freshman orientation, Homecoming and graduation, the events had distinct changes. For instance, summer school was still held in 1982, but students couldn ' t use the college food service due to lack of funds, and the selection of the gueen and court went from two votings to one. As for graduation, no prominent personality was featured as guest speaker as in the past years. So how about the actual lives of students. How were they changed? ABC news broadcaster Max Robinson, former Pittsburgh Pi- rate Willie Stargell, and Washington Redskins offensive guard Mark May enlightened students with their unigue words of wis- dom in speaking engagements throughout the year . Were living conditions any different? Commuting students composed a large per cent of the enroll- ment with the remaining population residing in any one of the three campus dorms. To keep the football team together, Morgan Hall, off campus, was changed from a women ' s dorm to a men ' s dorm. Each day students confronted new situations and people. Brought together for whatever reasons, they made each minute count. Students gave whatever it took to make student life a rise above the ordinary. IT ' S GREAT to have friends. These students express what friendship means to them. ABOVE THE OR Student life 9

ROBIN WOODY, Homecoming queen 1981, and president Wen- dell Hardway await the arrival of the candidates. The students, the parade, the dance, the game gave FSC a taste of German culture Students got a taste of Ger- many for Homecoming week Oct. 12-16, with October- fest as the theme. The week ' s activities were kicked off with student govern- ment sponsored films on the medieval life. Octoberfest night, Oct. 13, was held in the Ballroom, fea- turing a German feast with roasted chicken, German pas- tries, root beer and apple ci- der. A dinner honoring the Homecoming gueen candi- dates was held in the Dining Hall on Tuesday. On Thursday a train of floats, bands, and Homecoming gueen candidates paraded down Fairmont Avenue, end- ing at the Mid-City Parking lot. Tying for first place in the float competition were Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity and Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. I think the parade was the best one we ' ve had. Everything was well planned, but it could have been more fun if more people had participated, said Mary Jenkins, senior secondary edu- cation major.

Thursday evening after the parade, the band Tioux, set the beat for the Homecoming dance. The selection of the gueen was an entirely new process this year. Each organization placed a candidate in the com- petition. Then at the dance each candidate selected a cov- ered rose. The six finalists were those who had chosen a pink rose. The final voting on Friday was left up to the student body to choose the Homecoming gueen for 1982. 10 Homecoming
