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 .

You name it; we love it—playing, partying, dancing, and jogging! Students love tradition ’n fads The popular number, 435-8200. rings most often during semester finals, second only to the nearest dial-a-prayer. That assuring voice at the end of the line calms the nerves (and stomach) with those oh so familiar words. “Domino’s Pizza”. And so, late night pizza tops the list of the oldest traditions at the “Friendliest Campus in Jacksonville,” changing only as pizza parlors change names. Students take great pride following the popular fads during their college days. The list is endless and as varied as the student population itself. Traditional events seem to cling to the campus like ivy to the lowers. Pep rallies, ball games, theme parties, and loud music carry over to each new batch of students. When Gabriel blows his horn, he may be literally drowned out if it happens to fall on the night Jacksonville and Troy meet to settle the age-old score in both football and after-game concert between the two bands. The Southerners refuse to lose face and really do some heavy playing then. These traditional activities arc marked by a few common characteristics—cheap, no frill, fun. These traits describe “parties” of numerous types including: popcorn parties, cake parties (and coke dates), pot-luck supper parties, pizza parlies, beer parties, beach parties (requiring only a bucket of sand), and toga parties— where an authentic Greek toga is quickly replaced by a bed sheet draped over the shoulders. Birthdays in the girls’ dorms provide an almost daily occasion for hall parties. Everyone chips in with all the change on hand, and SAGA is only too willing to oblige with a festive cake fresh from the oven. Needless to say. these celebrations arc conveniently scheduled after hours amidst much giggling and gabbing. Indeed, traditional ways to find fun are as much a part of the college education as the redbrick buildings and final exams. Unlike the traditional patterns, fads come and go, Hacky-sack(a bean-bag form of soccer), frisbee, and bicycles take to the quad on warm days. Meanwhile, in- doors, the current rages. Trivial Pursuit and VCR rental, make the rounds. A “quick” game of T.P. can fill a few hours. With enough people, you pitch-in and rent a VCR for 24 hours and cram in as many movies as possible in one night, VCR rental is equally popular with men and women. Guys in Logan have really fallen under the spell of popular flicks according to Jerry Nichols. Of course, dollar movies and card games will remain as popular as easy English professors. All these traditions and fads provide fun and relief from the monotonous routine of studying. As long as there are students, there will be fads they take pride in claiming as their own. Raymond Pharo, Mary Kirkland, Sherri Watkins and Raymond Poore enjoy pizza and beer ai Pizza Hut. an all-time favorite of college students. Penny Haynes. Loretha Jimmison, and Rechina Anderson find washing the car a constructive way to beat the heal between summer school classes. 14 Campus Life: Traditions
