U H m P U 3 '- 'F E I n c 1 nu ir is s L ife here at Kansas Tech is sometimes a challenge to the student that is not familiar with the daily routine. He or she can get lost in the shuffle if they're not careful. Classes sometimes start off with a bit of confusion and usually lead to even more confusion. Whether you're sitting in Mr. Holmolka's Calculus class learning about some advanced technique of solving for the area under a cunfe, or you're in Mr. Stephens' Oral Communication class wondering why in the world he has assigned you a speech onthe topic of Stocks and Bonds. Some may say that teachers are like policeman on patrol. They're not there to help you, they're out to get you. I agree, but then again that's they're job. You're here to learn, and if you do learn what you're supposed to learn, then they won't be able to get you. Relaxing at Kansas Tech usually begins after your classes have dismissed for the day. The school offers an entire variety of activities to entertain you after the fact. Quiz Bowls are usually fun to watch during the day. It gives you an excuse to miss class. The same goes for student job intenfiewing seminars. tThough few people attend these repetitious employment readiness opportunitiesl. l know, you don't wear sneakers and cutoffs to an intenfiew. Intramurals are another keen way to relax. They give the student the chance on the football field or basketball court to get even with that guy that ripped up your completed term paper. Weekend activities include the annual Spring Olympics. A chance to get completly filthy playing mud volleyball and forget about who won or lost at the keg party aftenfvards. lt's strange that more student participate in the party than in the tournaments themselves. The annual concrete canoe races at Tuttle Creek are a site that no student should miss. Colleges from all overthe Midwest compete for a small concrete slab trophy. The highlight of the event is near the end when everyone tries to sink the other teams canoe. - Indeed, the life here at Kansas Tech is both fun and fatiguing to the student. He or she has plenty of things T to hate and plenty of things to love. T - By Grant Olds T ABOVE LEFT: Students enjoying a friendly game of pool in the Student Union. LEF7?

Karen Reidel provided for their nutritional needs, also providing food for those that did not have time to run to the cafeteria. The Book- Store had the academic supplies for a successful attack on the various classes. Students could find quiet space to study in the Shuttle Room. Student organizations also used this room fortheir meetings. For entertainment students could play a game of pool or one of the video games or just hang around and shoot the bull with other students or a faculty member. 4 HHl'I5F15 TEEH E 'SOCIALIZING AT THE STUDENT UNION f-X , .ga A 'N I' is i 'iv li lk'

After completing my first day, I felt a little better. The second and third day's left me feeling the same way, but my confidence was building slowly, but surely. After I had my first week under my belt, things really started to smooth out. It was a scarey yet fun first week, and I am looking foward to the rest. if .Y I'lI'l5 I UH?
