‘The Blueboys’ football team is one of the best I’ve ever -been associated with. The coaches are excellent coaches who know their stuff. I don’t think the fans are that consistent in their cheering; they might not think that has much to do with a ball game, but psychologically it helps to | motivate the team. Another thing to mention is the condi- tion of the playing field; it’s hard, which tends to cause in- jury, and dry with sandburs all over it. I feel if it costs $200 (for example) to water |the field as opposed to the school paying $500 for a -|shoulder, knee, ankle, or rib jinjury it doesn’t make much sense.” - John Jackson DuNe|ey Ask any 2 I.C. students about life or people at school and naturally, you'll never get 2 answers alike. § The people of I.C. are unique indi- oo viduals, each one as different as f his own point of view and back- tf ground. This year, many different } topics of student interest ; points of views were cover the Rambler, ranging fro ple convo critiques to o about pledging and anything Is that was on the minds of students. The Rig also sent out several questionairres in an effort to. Te.) | ceive student input. Response was J better than expected, and some of J the results you see published here. J “You people who eat at Baxter shouldn’t. complain because it’s at Baxter that you see all your friends. It gets lonely living off- campus sometimes. | miss not knowing a lot of the underclassmen. It’s a helluva lot quieter than living in the dorms. I miss a lot of people, but I’ve also met a lot of people where I live now (ISD), so it all evens out.” - Barb Kiebel

“‘We do not live on the campus, yet we are an intricate part of the campus system as a whole. Our days are spent in classes, with friends, or in the familiar student union. We learn by trial and error and our greatest disadvantage is our lack of communication in the campus grapevine. ‘“‘We are a voice on campus, whether it be in the pool room or the library. They call us GDI’s, yet we relate with the other societies on campus. We are a minority, yet a minor- ity which stands tall among the other students. We are the off-campus students, but you could never tell.” - Jim Har- “I don’t live off campus, but I wish I did. Anything is better than being babysat - forattheageof20...”’- Kelly Gaitens “Basing my answer only on observations, I feel that I.C. students are as typical as any other college students. There. are the basic 5 groupings or classes (1) ‘Jocks’-main interest is sports (2) ‘Brains’-those who are studious in nature (3) ‘Partiers’-those out for a good time (4) All-Arounds-those involved in most school activities from sports to choirm from student government to drama (5) Left-overs-those who don’t fit in the former catagories or the loners undesirables. You can find these in most any educational system.” - Barbara Hauri “T don’t consider myself : a ‘typical’ student. Typical students are merely people who are here only to study academics (I don’t think there are many of them, so how did they get to be typical?). “I don’t consider most IC students ‘typical college students’. If most were, I.C. would be nothing. The individuals here make it I.C. It is not typical either.”’ - Deb Randall “The Freshman Tea was a good chance for Freshmen men to do something ‘crazy’ in the eyes of the upper classmen to gain accep- tance. It also was a lot of fun and a good chance to meet a few girls. | Central Mincis is It could have gotten out of hand: But it didn’t.” - Mike Kehoe limiting to an area. Small liberal arts college limits it more. The peer .pressure and attitudes are unique here too.”’ - Ann Bishop “The mess! Over the summer the dorms are really cleaned well and a bunch of drunk guys come through and mess up all the hard work others have done! Then, after the so called ‘fun’ is over we’re left with the mess to clean up or else the cleaning lady, whc really gets upset to see all the work she did in the summe destroyed!”’ - Sue Kallenbach 12
