The Only Way Out Is Through On the next page (that's the one facing this one,) you'll notice the Table of Contents, which is in a maze this year. A-mazing, eh? The maze is a symbol of the road through our years at Gannon. For a few, there seems to be an easy way out, but for most there's endless confusion, for example at mid-terms when you realize you still have another half semester to go. By then you're positive you won't make it through, and by finals you're still not convinced you'll find your way out of this maze. There's back-tracking, when you find out you bought the wrong book for class. U-turns, when at registration you realize you're in the middle of the Science line signing up for a Business course. And dead-ends, when the only book you need for your paper is not in the library. But somehow, you make it through this confusion-filled maze. The Table of Contents suggests five ways out: through INTERACTION, through OTHERS, through INSIGHT, through COMPETITION, and through PAR- TICIPATION. INTERACTION with fellow students is a big part of college life. Not only interacting in the classroom, but also taken-for-granted things as giving directions to a new student, or the endless complaints about the food in the scrounge and the increase in tuition. Another way out is through OTHERS, including admin- istrators, teachers, and fellow students. An atmosphere of friendliness is apparent in the Gannon community: teachers available for extra help, people you can talk to who will listen, friends who enjoy a good laugh. The main reason we're here is academics, and the IN- SIGHT gained through learning is our way out. At the be- ginning of that first biology class you can't tell one amoeba from the next. But by the end of the semester you've got most things in their correct genus and species. We compete with each other in the classroom, but a keener type of COMPETITION can be seen through team sports. This is another way out, whether it's through the basketball net, the goalie's net, or through the air and over the center-field wall. PARTICIPATION through belonging to organizations and helping to strengthen them is an important part of Gannon life. No matter what the organization, fraternity, intramural team, or academic club, participation provides a way out through a variety of experiences. College. Gannon College. That's what all of us have to get through. It's getting through a lot more than four years. It's a process of growing and a myriad of experiences. -Kevin Conway.
