orth the effort The pages of the book that follow are many and varied. They encompass everything from concerts to sports to individuals. Their styles and topics are as different from one another as the people who comprise the family of Fort Hays State. The obvious distinctions of students, faculty, administration and staff are easy to separate. The more delicate distinctions may take some thought. Students at FHSU range from the freshman who has just arrived, fresh off the farm, out on his own for the first time -- to the foreign student, who has traveled many miles and overcome many obstacles to continue his education. Despite these differences among individuals, there exists among us all a feeling of relatedness - a common bond. Our experiences here provide us with many , relationships. Between roommates, classmates, fellow employees, peers and friends, FHSU will always be a special place. The number of students from foreign countries who chose a small college in the middle of western Kansas over the larger colleges in larger towns serve to show others that we are worth the effort. Here they are part of the total picture. Just as the student who has traveled from across our own country, without every one of them FHSU would not be the same. Even those who from nearby have made the choice to be here, instead of someplace else that may be billed as more glamourous . They have recognized the subtle difference and have become a part of it. -- Denise Riedel The limestone and prairie are new experiences for some Fort Hays Stale students, whether they travel from across the country or across the world, (photo by Monty Davis) Opening - 9
