To survive might take someone with ecial talents, someone like a warrior or a ef, maybe an elf or a wizard! Sound fun? t even these can't always survive. l'It's all in the roll of the dicef' according Kevin Daniel, senior. Whatll? Well, just listen a minute. is isn't a story about some strange cult, a game, a role-playing game called ngeons 8: Dragons. But, getting back to the dice, they are roll- to determine strength, wisdom, in- ligence, dexterity, constitution, and arisma. Characters should be based on 2 strongest points. lf someone rolled a weak character with h intelligence, they may choose to be a :ard or a thief rather than a warriorf' y Brown, junior, said. The game can be as simple or as com- cated as the Dungeon Master wishes. The DM is the one who calls the shots, and he's out to kill everyone. Technically the players are on a quest to find treasure, but accor- ding to Sandy Eastwood, senior, it's a strug- gle just to survive. There is such a thing as a DM guide, a rule book that the DM can follow, if they wish. The DM is like God, Kevin said. i'He tells you what is going on and you have to decide what to do. Then he tells you if you were successfulf' The game is played on a board, but there are many to choose from. Each board is like a city, and it usually has about a hundred chambers. Only the DM knows the contents of these chambers. He knows whether there is a monster, a treasure or nothing at all. But even treasure can be a foe. Gold and jewels have been known to do strange things - like explode! Players usually begin at the keep, a place where weapons and supplies, among other things, can be bought in preparation for the journey. As treasure is uncovered in the course of the game, many things can be bought. lf the players are hungry land richl they can buy food. A warrior might buy new weapons to replace broken ones or a wizard may want to 'learni more spells. Nearly an entire book is devoted to spells. It tells the name of the spell, what the spell is good for and what level of magic-user can use it. Regular players are awarded more experience points and achieve a higher level. There is a type of moral aspect of the game. Each character must choose to be lawful or chaotic and good or evil. After they make a choice, the character must act accordingly. A good lawful character wouldn't be allowed to do anything evilf' Tony said. A chaotic character is one that things just happen to. Whether it be good or evil, they can't control it, Nancy Cariker, sophomore, said. Onward to battle, riches, honor and glory, and forget the mundane existence of school and home as simple survival demands total concentration. I JUNIORS

Backpacking vs. trailers Oceanography, Woods and Waters' students camp and fish As the sun rose over the hill, the beams touched the sleeping campers. Birds chirped a welcome and something rustled in the trees. A breeze stirred and off in the distance a brook babbled along through the trees. Whether supplies were packed in with a caravan or carried in a backpack, it's called camping. Some campers roughed it in the wilds with a sleeping bag and canteen, while others preferred a travel trailer with elec- trical hookups and waterbeds. Students sometimes went camping with church groups. We sometimes go to a cabin or Lake Whitney. It's near a mountain, which we climb for our morning quiet time with God, Ronda Smith, junior, said. Some students enjoyed camping with their family or relatives. I go camping sometimes with my aunt, Debra Steele, junior, said. The Woods and Waters Club went on a two night campouts at Sid Richardson Scout Ranch. They stayed in tents and cooked over open fires. lt was cold, Darryl Tucker, junior, said. On the oceanography fishing trip, some of the girls took an unexpected swim. They grabbed us by the arms and legs and threw us in the lake, Susan Stringfellow, junior, said. The volleyball team planned a two day canoe trip down the Brazos River the first of June. Most students enjoyed camping, but it was something for other people, not themselves. T I haven't been camping much. lt's a lot of fun, commented Shellie Johnson, junior, because you can go on nature hikes and go fishing and see animals you don't normally see. I like the out-of-doors, but I've never been camping, Jill Johnson, junior, saidl JUNIORS
