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

REVEILLE - SUBTLE DIFFERENCES nri Life in western Kansas is one rich in tradition with a blend of progress. Fort Hays State has been an important part of this area since her birth. The campus-sponsored events provide entertainment and culture to an area that is predominantly rural. While farming and oil may be the mainstay of the citizens of northwest Kansas, FHSU is the source of music, theatre, art and dance for these people. In addition to providing entertainment for the area, many groups at FHSU exist for the pleasure of the students. They provide the extra touch needed to make college life just right. They spend countless hours organizing events to furnish students with a total, well- rounded education. Without these people and their events, life would be ordinary and average. They provide the subtle difference, the added touch, to make campus life here something to be remembered. - dr Campus Life -11
