Living Experiments An integral part of the growing experience of college life is the inter- mingling of diverse personalities. The college hopes to accomplish this by providing various living experiments. Whether it be residence hall, apart- ment, or house, each experiment is unique in directing and preparing stu- dents to relate to others. Freshmen require different kinds of interaction than seniors and the hous- ing staff is striving to be sensitive to these needs. This year the traditional dormitory life, provided by Pennington, Edwards, and Hobson Halls is mostly experi- enced by new students. This gives them the opportunity to meet and adjust to various personalities, as well as develop a feeling of belonging to a group. Apartments offer students greater responsibility and freedom while still promoting a more close-knit, homelike atmosphere. The uniqueness of the individual house allows for closer fellowship while lending to the free expression of personalities. These experiments provide new ways to grow together while learning mutual understanding. 14 HOUSING

Chilling Ordeal How long can you tread water? This was the question uppermost in the minds of those dauntless mariners in the eighth annual, awe-inspiring GFC Raft Race. Compelled by the prospect of an all expense paid trip to the Rhine- lander, Joel Keesecker, Marty and Warren Koch, and Steve Comfort braved salt and sea, wind and wave, to gain that coveted prize. Scott Mayfield, ASGFC Activities Director, managed to stay high and dry on a virtual oceanliner, while other intrepid sailors inched their way to the finish line on recycled refuse in hopes of capturing second place, which was free tickets to the Christmas Formal; or even third place, for a $5.00 gift certificate at the Junior Store. In the end, all those who donned water wings experienced the real terror that Noah must have felt every time he sprung a leak. - .£4 ■ 16 RAFT RACE
