In wind and rain, on cold days and Frosty nights, the library remains the center of activity. The accelerated, chaotic pace of the opening days of school soon settles to the monotonous tempo of routine. We find ourselves engrossed in study, always behind, and always over-worked. We trudge through the mundane tasks of eating, studying, sleeping. Burning the midnight oil becomes commonplace. Tests, parallel and term papers are interminable. Days come and go and roll over us with bleak consistency, so that we lose perspective and wonder at our purpose. We sometimes forget that we determine whether we live or merely exist. There is something of ourselves that we must give and something of others that we must take, and it is up to us either to fail or to succeed.

With the fall comes the changing of the green hillsides to mountains of dazzling yellows, blazing reds, somber browns. The crackling of leaves beneath loafers and boots heralds the coming of cold winds and drizzling rains. Bare trees stand stark and gloomy against the purple skies of dusk. Groups of laughing students stand huddled together in the crisp fall air, their breaths a gray vapor. This is football weather! Thousands crowd into the stadium armed with scarves, blankets, gloves, hot coffee. The air of gaiety and expectancy is contagious. Yet how quickly the mood of a crowd can change! The stadium rings with shouts of triumph and then suddenly echoes with disappointed groans. The expectant crowds come away thrilled with victory or despondent over loss. But Furman, though confident in victory, is proud still in times of defeat.

Beyond the span of intellectual growth we come face to face with other people. We find friends to share our dreams and hopes, our fun, our disappointments. We throw ourselves into gay activity; wc party with savage intensity. Blaring music, shuffling feet, crowded rooms, coarse laughter—this is fun. It is collegiate. This earthy vitality is the role of youth. We thrive on conforming to nonconformity and laugh at those who dare to be normal. We fear emotion. We hide fierce loyalty behind nonchalance. And this becomes the theme of everyday existence. Live it up! Three cheers for revelry! Burn the cigarette at both ends—Time is of the essence. n
