ome Things Bf ever Change . . . Ivike Everyday Life The alarm goes off — its shrill sound penetrating the depths of sleep and you are forced to leave your pleasant dream. You slowly roll over ... It can ' t be time to get up! Okay, feet on floor. You go through the motions of getting ready for class while your brain is comatose. Now you ' re out the door — headed for food. Or, there ' s no time to eat, and you ' re on your way to class. You sit through each lecture or lab, marking time until lunch. You eat again, and visit with friends or study. The bell echoes through- out the campus. And, it ' s back to class. Finally, classes are over for the day, and it ' s time to head for home or the dorm. Then you eat dinner, study more, or play — and before you know it, it ' s midnight or after — sleep overtakes — and back to bed. You get the picture . . . same routine every day. Like everyday life, some things never change! Connie Easterling and Laurie Hughes prepare to end another day in the life of a commuter. Kim Alden goes through her daily makeup routine. Opening 15

Some Things Change Itawamba Community College is as solid as the rocks that border the Term -Tom Wa- terway. The name may change, but it ' s still here — and growing. 1988 — enrollment is on the rise. The dorms are overflowing. The Fulton Campus doesn ' t look anything like it did 40 years ago. The Tupelo Campus didn ' t come about until 1963. Both have always been one step ahead of the future. Federal, state and local dollars enable thousands of persons to take advantage of the highest quality of education. ICC offers a good solid education — a foundation for the future of its students. Itawamba is a pioneer in the latest state- of-the-art instruction — on both campuses. We ' ve come a long way in 40 years. To- day ' s modern buildings are filled with com- puters, lasers, robots and many othex elec- tronic gadgets. No matter what it ' s physical appearance, the college hasn ' t changed. It ' s a great in- stitution — solid as a rock. No matter what it ' s name, like the rocks, some things never change. ' i ' I think the word ' community ' depicts to a m.uch better degree what a two-year institution of higher learning should be. It shows we ' re serving people — and peo- ple make up a community. Cynthia Jones I I prefer the title IJC because that is what I have been used to, but ' what ' s in a name? ' IJC ' s becoming a com- munity college was beneficial not only for the students but also for the community. ICC provides more opportu- nities and less restric- tions. ICC was the first junior coUege in Missis- sippi to change to a community college. This is a milestone for which we should all be proud! Tamara Humphries I m (L. I 16 Opening
