coming winter brings a new semester and a renewed sense of responsibility that lasts until the first signs of spring. Books and classes are again replaced, but this time with woodsies, sun bathing, Tuttle Creek, spring fever, and weekend trips to Colorado, Galveston, or New Orleans. Predictably, all of this comes to a crashing halt with another round of finals. For some of us summer vacation is summer vacation, collecting experiences in South Dakota, Europe, California, or Seaside Park, New Jersey. For others, summer vacation is summer school, getting ahead for next semester, or catching up from last semester. For the majority of us, summer vacation if work, boring or interesting jobs, collecting backaches, headaches, and paychecks. Yet for the most part, summer is a gas; Wine, surf, old friends, concerts, and bull sessions cause us to loosen up and forget the pressure of the previous nine months. We become human beings again. , a.r0, 1 44‘..44 ' usannyeASiftel

a short time, academics, for most of us, seem almost idiotic. Boring professors, rote learning, and a general feeling of what the hell am I here for, often lead many of us to believe that this animal called education is worthless. The only thing left to do is live our own lives and laugh in the face of disaster. Cutting classes, warm friendships, good music, sleeping late, watching the sunrise and midnight diner trips, become an important part of your life. You relax and become yourself; college life agrees with you. Vacations come and go, and then ... final exams. Coffee, all nighters, cramming, No-Doz, prayers, crib sheets, exam forms, nail biting, and then it ' s over. Some of us will have to explain what an F on the computer slip means; while others of us can smile with satisfied arrogance. : ' t t : t • Nm CO NO 50MONmo DUN um•tc = 225 110 ECCNON1C5 1 No co. r a. 4. 259 165 MIRO PHILOS 265 102 AAA P WiC 2 269 220 AMER GOVT 289 358 PUBL SANGT 4 REY TO GRAM AND POINT 5751(m A • (COUNT. • NS GOOD JAS C 2175 D • POOR.

The human being in you slides into the background and you ' re part of the rat race again. Old faces axe missing, but new faces fill the empty spaces. A change of major brightens up your life for about tWO weeks. And then you start waiting for a vacation to begin.
