adventures provide needed relict. Every once in a while, the of everyday college life just seemed too much. The urge to break out and explore new territories became all-consuming. Images of never-ending highways and exciting, new places ran through the minds of adventurous K-Staters. Escape seemed to be the only plan. With the car full of gas and friends, and ideas of various destinations, it was time to slip in a cruisin ' tape, roll down the windows and hit the road. Sometimes you get bored seeing the same people and places over and over again. It ' s good to see different faces and sights, said Mark Bales, sophomore in physical education. His most memorable road trip was to the University of Kansas to party with friends. Destinations were as varied as the personalities of the travelers. Usually the trips involved visiting out-of-town friends and family. KU, Oklahoma, Colorado and Missouri ranked high on the travel list. Then there was always the ever-familiar road back to hometowns. (Roadtripping) is a good thing to do if you don ' t have any tests coming up, or if you ' re just looking for something to do besides studying, Roger Holt, junior in psychology, said. ' There is always someone who wants to go with you. Besides the spontaneous, jump-in- the-car-and-go trips, there were also roadtrips of a more planned nature. Each year, pledge classes of and sororities took what was known as a sneaks. They planned a trip to chapters of their fraternity or sorority in another city or state, while keeping the destination and date a secret from the actives in the house. It was a fun time for us to get closer and to meet pledge sisters who we hadn ' t known as well, said Kim sophomore in family studies and a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. Traveling was even a part of some courses offered at K-State. The K- State marching band chartered a bus and went on tour to Norton, Logan and Phillipsburg, Kan. Basically, it was just to get out and practice playing in front of people, said Jenni Stone, freshman in pre- medicine and music. It got a little rowdy on the way there, but it was all part of the fun of the trip. Whether traveling with an group or just taking a break from life ' s pressures, roadtrips were definitely part of the college scene. Any reason (or lack of reason) was enough to get some students out on the road. K-Staters may not always have known where they were going, but they sure knew how to get there. by Heather Downs Illustration by Joe Cook

The conflict of man vs. nature was not a new one. In recent years, man has been overtaking nature and limiting it to a smaller and smaller area on earth. Highways and sidewalks were built where pastures used to be. High-rise buildings took the place of forests and fields. Even here at K-State the conflict was prevalent. The animals on campus were shoved around a lot. Although the squirrels were here long before the campus was, buildings and sidewalks were constructed, and the squirrels were forced to live with it. No one asked them if it was OK. Through it all, the squirrels were good sports about The squirrels on campus were very friendly, and many people enjoyed watching them. I like them, said Diane The K-State campus sustains many critters including ground squirrels, birds and rabbits which find life at the University exciting and invigorating. Several University employees help in the creatures survival by placing food out for the animals. (Photo by Andy Nelson) Zumwalt, junior in journalism and mass communications. I wouldn ' t pet them — I know they bite, but they are cute and fun to watch. Winter posed a real threat to the cute critters. According to Chris Smith, professor of biology, tree squirrels did not hibernate. They fed all winter long on and acorns they buried to give them an added food If the acorn and walnut crop was scarce, they could die. It was common knowledge that squirrels buried nuts throughout the fall, but Kieffer, associate of psychology, said the do not know where they bury the nuts. So there was no real way for the animals to retrieve them except to dig at random. That was why many employees took a little time each day to feed them. Karen Hetrick and Dorothy Smith, secretaries for the vice president for institutional advancement, were two who fed the squirrels. Heavens, (they started feeding the squirrels) years ago — before my time, Hetrick said. I think the box has been here for six to eight years. We took over feeding them when we moved here a year and a quarter ago, Smith said. (We feed them) corn and sunflower seeds — bags by the 50 pounds, she said. Smith added, ' They are fun to watch, a delight, we love them. by Laura Renfro The animals on campus are appreciated for being cute, friendly and fun to watch. 29
