New Changes Although students joined together for important issues and fun, the individuality of each person remained evident. Whether it was through clothing, actions, words, or even music, students expressed them- selves, their opinions and their values free- ly. Stereotypes seemed to be shadows of the past as college students became less concerned with labels and trends. With each individual came a growing sense of admiration for those who were unlike themselves. As we matured in all aspects of the word, we appreciated the diversity of col- lege life. Such variety encouraged us to examine ourselves. Our minds were opened by those whose ideas and actions were different from our own. Experiences with others translated into personal growth, both intellectually and emotionally. We were immersed into an atmosphere where varying attitudes af- fected us. The freedom to be our unique selves was perhaps the most valuable experience. The flower beds by Hillcrest House color the grounds. Beds such as these remind the campus community of the beauty of nature. Rutlcdge The breezeways of Johnston Hall, home to the psychology department, offer a nice break from dull office walls. The warm fall weather provided more opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. 10 Or. .- : Centofai 10 Opening

College was perhaps the one place where people from every back- ground imaginable came together and met on common ground. Whether it was as part of an organization or a protest or through a class project or a job, students and faculty came together, supporting each other in whatever the goal. There was an array of activities for stu- dents, ranging from academic clubs to in- tramural athletics to Greek organizations. Whatever their interests, students could find their own niche. Environmentally aware students formed E.A.R.T.H.-Envi- ronmental Awareness and Restoration Through our Help. Other students found their niche in organizations such as the College Republicans, Amnesty Interna- tional, or one of the many religious organizations. Rutledge Terminclla V
