ROYAL PURPLE ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES STUDENT LIFE In the water. At the theater. On the road. Anyone who complained of boredom just wasn ' t looking hard enough for action. When Aggieville burnout set in, mountain bikers and rappelling daredevils headed to Tuttle. Lazy afternoons spurred spontaneous jaunts across Kansas or ventures out of the state. For a departure from the usual, Broadway hits and world-renowned musicians came to campus at McCain But when it came time to get serious, groups tackled sensitive items like racism and date rape head-on. When the situation demanded it, students by the severe budget cuts trekked to the capitol in Topeka and their concerns. It was a time to make choices and define some of the rougher edges of our lives. K-State fans knock a beach ball through the crowd in the student section during the New Mexico State football game.
