Freshman Sally Atland relaxes at the outdoor pool. Though the pool did not offer any lounge chairs, students were comfort- able using beach towels or laying in the grass. Armed with sun tan oil, beacl-i tav els, and a radio, students headed to the outdoor pool to After morning classes on sunny days, an after- noon ritual began on campus. Dedicated students hurried back to their rooms and within a flash they emerged transformed into sun wor- shipers. Armed with bottles of tanning oil and beach towels, they headed into the sun. Each tanner had her own fa- vorite sun spot. Some preferred poolside and others sunned on the steps of dorms, on the quad, or the gym sundeck. But what about afternoon classes? Sophomore Jen Gyre said, Sometimes it ' s best to just catch some rays and forget the classes. How do other people pass the day? Junior Michele Trojan said, I am majoring in finance and minoring in tanning! Second floor Meyran res- idents admitted to manipulating their schedules to accommo- date the peak tanning hours. Let ' s face it — it ' s hard to juggle a schedule which fulfills core and major requirements, sleep- ing hours, and of course, tan- ning, all in one day. — Carol Hurliman. 20 pun in the Sun

V het:her a VCR, an ansv ering machine, or a stereo, students vi ere proud of their Many people believe that as a girl develops into a woman she usu- ally hides all her toys or else passes them on to a younger sis- ter; but at Hood, students still have toys — electronic toys. The toys ranged from VCRs, stereos and televisions, to an- swering machines, CD players, video games, and computers. Students brought the comforts of home to their dorm rooms. Some of the toys aided students with their school work. Though the college had two computer labs, many students opted for their own computer. VCRs were occasionally used to tape TV shows or presidential debates which needed to be watched for a class. Most of the electronic toys were for the student ' s own enjoyment — to relax or to relieve stress. The Atari we have in our room helps relieve the tensions of school by blow- ing up the rock formations! said Amy Schabacker. Com- pact disc players were a new electronic toy craze on campus. Renting movies not only pro- vided a great way to get to- gether with friends, but it was much cheaper than going to see a movie. With the addition of a video store in the new shopping center across from Hood, many students got good use out of their VCRs. Hood students proved that not only kids liked to play with toys — college students needed them too. — Marcia Bailee;. MICRO TOY. Junior Dawn Calver works on her computer.
