I L.-Q By Gary Jordan Feature Writer As soon as I entered the hallway the inviting aroma of hot, fresh coffee filled my senses and helped to quicken my pace. When I rounded the corner on my way to the snack bar, I caught my first glimpse of the morning people. Here, scattered throughout the dining area, were all the people who required that first cup in 'the morning to motivate them and provide that exhilarating shot-in-the-arm support l.L..' -I needed to face another grueling, laborious day of heavy-duty classes. The morning crowd in the union seems to differ from any other type of crowd that frequents this popular campus gathering place. Those of us who rise early enough or are just arriving from some all-nighter somewhere, on the surface appear to be like any other crowd utilizing the union facilities... WRONG!! With this gang there seems to be an underlying motive to our madness. The atmosphere is LEFT, Everett Aye. Yearbook. ABOVE. Karen Myer, Yearbook. BELOW LEFT: Denny and Betsy Greenwood, Newspaper. Coffee, Gossip Lend Cohesion to Clan undeniably charged with positive elements concerning the careful and meticulous plannlng-out of the oncomlng day. There ls the evident lack of interest in the day's weather situation, or the morning's current events, or, believe it or not, even the latest, hot-off-the-tongue, gossip. Instead, there exists the quiet, innerself attitude amongst those present.

The Newspaper became almost self campus sufficient under the Greenwood reign. Denny sold Ads and did paste up. A first in self sufficiency. Betsy configured word processors to print camera ready copy. hangovers, formulated by all the previous night's no-holds-barred partying. However, this, my friends, is not the case at all. Sure there are times when some of us are there just trying to put it all back in place. ln times like these, one usually tends to excuse himself from the day's classes, justifying his reasoning with incredible excuses only he, himself, believes. In most cases, though, the majority of us morning people truly look foward to that peaceful meeting of one's own mind the early morning's peacefulness provides. lt's a well known fact at Kansas Tech that many a wise decision concerning the success or failure of a day in the life, has been reached right in the Student Union in the morning. So, if you should wake up some morning, somewhat earlier than usual, and you are lost for ideas as to how to spend the influx of extra time you have acquired, boogie over to the union and visit with the morning peopIe. Who knows, you may enjoy the experience. CAMPU PUBLICATIO S Thanks also should go to Jerry Bacon for profes sional quality photo's for both the newspaper as well as the yearbook.

At parents day, Andy Andrews delighted audi- ences. Among the other events sponsored by the clubs was a Bowlathon, which raised money for scholarships. A welcom- ing day for President Tilmans, and a blood drive for the Red Cross. Finally, tutors were provided to help students with class materials.
