, iiwa ' w Is It Friday Yet? This years weekends and social events provided the students with plenty of fun to break away from their studies. Orientation started off the year ex- tremely well with a great deal of student participation. New students enjoyed a pool party and a banana split party, along with other social events that helped ac- quaint them with the school and the other incoming students. Orientation was a great success for the students, and for those who took part in the organization. The new director of student activities, Barbara Jordan, organized a student ac- tivities group to help choose and plan the type of social events that students would enjoy the most. This years events were different from years past, and were more successful due to strong student turn- outs. Among the staged events were a 3-D Halloween movie and a polo party with a This years events were different from years past, and were more successful due to strong student turn-out. live band and refreshments. Weekends on campus saw students having fun in the warm Florida weather, either at the pool or playing in or support- ing one of the athletic teams. Others made the trip to Clearwater beach to lie in the sun. Students had a lot to do when the sun was over head. Some students enjoyed the nightlife in Lakeland, while others made the drive to Tampa for a sporting event or a concert. The schools fraternities and sororities kept students buzzing with plenty of so- cial events and formals both on and off campus. Social life had students gaining relief from studies and enjoying times to re- member for years to come! —Matt Biagiotti A day at the beach . . .

j PEU. ' i I ■■» ' ■ ' . r l i , f - l llj ' l..lt l T ' rS 3g They Worked Hard for the Money Each year students find jobs off campus. Stu- dents worked for a variety of reasons. Some worked to supplement their income and help pay for social activities. Students used the mon- ey to finance their education or worked to gam experience in the field of their major. Students who worked had mixed feelings about their employment. Some students felt that work took away from social activities, valuable study time was lost, and the pay was not worth the time and effort invested. Most students, however, felt that the job they held was benefi- cial and a worthwhile experience. Carol Harmon, a 21 year old senior, who is a sports medicine major from Geneva, NY said, I like working. It gives me an outlet from all the pressures at school. Students worked a variety of jobs. Many stu- dents worked for Maas Brothers, Publix, and Chili ' s. Students were salesmen, electricians, waiters, waitresses, and aerobic instructors. Many jobs were found relating to a students like working. It gives me an outlet from all the pressures of school. — Carol Harmon major field of study; citrus majors worked in or- ange groves, journalism majors became string- ers for The Ledger, and accounting majors worked in banks. For those without cars and with some extra time, there were also plenty of jobs on campus. Students could make money either to supple- ment the cost of education or for a little extra spending money at the current minimum wage of $3.35. Students were lucky in that they were usually able to find a job in the department of their ma- jor, and therefore become acquainted with many of their professors. If this was not the case, often times a job provided additional study time when there was little work to be done. From answering phones in a freshmen dorm, to working in the computer lab or being a stu- dent aid, there were usually plenty of opportuni- ties for all those interested. — Cathy A.
