Lifestyles Htingin’ out. Blowin’ steam. Chillin' out and Partyin’ are common phrases heard about social life on campus. Campus life outside classes includes studying, partying, playing, and “courting . The typical student (if such a creature exists) finds ways to relieve the pressures of work. Though we don’t practice what we preach, every student knows that study time must come first. Vicki Ray and Kim Pettyjohn, freshmen from Gaylesville, both agree that dorm life doesn't offer much atmosphere for study. “1 enjoy the dorm, but the screaming makes it too noisy to study,” says Vicki, a biology major. Dave Smith, an R. A., knows the importance of “happy dorm life.” “It’s my job to be sure everyone obeys dorm rules and respects quiet time. Living with 150 guys isn't always easy; but you make friends in the dorms.” As a senior chemistry major, Dave does his studying in the library. He finds ——— few free hours to socialize except time spent w ith his girlfriend, who is an R.A. in Fitzpatrick. Socializing follows a heavy session of “hitting the books. Frat parlies, rap sessions, eating out, movies, and bar hoppin' head the list. “A bunch of us eat at SAGA and just sit and talk,” says Margo Nelson, a junior in law enforcement. After study, and two hours of trumpet practice, Keith Bearden is ready for fun. A senior in music ed.. Keith plays volleyball at his fraternity house to relax. Ricky Workman and Eric Kyle seek the weight room three days a week for building muscles and releasing pressure. Ricky, an accounting junior, goes home on the weekends to see his fiancee; he says, “There's never a dull moment here. The partyin' is unreal.” Keith Nix spends his free time playing hacky-sack with friends on the Quad. After Keith became CHANTICLEER sports editor, he has had little free lime. Attending athletic events, writing, doing layout and paste up take hours and he still has tennis. Amanda Bynum says, “As a music education major. I spend much time in the music building for classes and two-and-a-half hours a day of voice and piano practice. Amanda works part-time ——off campus. When not involved with Delta Omi-cron, she works with the drama department during performances. Campus life offers involvement for everyone and as Amanda says, “You can choose what you want, and not feel pressured.” In search for quality of life, we attempt balance in work and play. —Dr. Donald Schmitz Cjtnpu .
