h Whetlgler they want t eir MRS egree or just 4 a date for Saturday night, G is For Couples ollege life is probably the most ver- satile and exciting lifestyle. Days are filled with classes, studying, meet- ing people, going to ball games, hanging out in the student center, dancing, laughing, talk- ing, getting involved in multitudes of organiza- tions and pulling all nighters and last, but certainly not least - falling in love! You see him in the line at the grill with his purple polo, black hair and gorgeous brown eyes shadowed by eye- lashes so long and thick that you simply melt. As you regain composure and at- tempt to explain to your roommate that your chill-bumps arejust caused by hunger, he glances your way and you are awestruck once again. After three days full of chance meetings you finally lose all control when he walks up and says, Hi, l sure do see you around a lot. We must have the same sched- ule or a lot in common. How about a pizza for lunch? Wow! Dream come true. Love at first sight! From the first lunch date the relationship moves at a very fast pace. With both of you living on campus, it is convenient to eat together, study together, go to class togeth- er, workout together, and just hang out to- gether. This is so new and different from the normal weekend-type dating relationship be- cause you spend practi- cally every waking min- ute with your new-found love. This is the college dream romance. Some of these are very short- lived, since it is quite easy to find out if you are not compatible when you spend 18 hours a day together. However, some col- lege dreams become serious relationships - with some developing into lifetime com- mitments. lt is fact that many Mr. and Mrs. degrees will be earned along with the typical bachelors degree. So whether that gorgeous guy in the grill turns out to be a fleeting romance or a life- time partner, it all adds in to the thrilling life and times of falling in love in college. -Renea Gamble Some couples have been 'tcouples since high school. Jaime Major and Marty Rinaudo, both from New Roads, enjoy each other's company when studying. Barrett Flake Barrett Flake Long distance relationships frequently present prob- lems for college couples, and the weekend is often the only time couples can see each other.

Prescott library is more than just a place for books, it is the 1 Q Student s Studio The library has a centralized reference area, microfilm and microfiche readersg and an audio-visual center. The audio-visual center which is located on the tenth floor is used as an extra phase in the learning process. 30 Library rescott Library's goal, according to their recent selfstudy is to provide bibliographic, physical and intellec- tual access to recorded information without regard to physical format and without chal- lenge to the works of those authors who express unpopular, dissident or controver- sial viewpoints. Simply stated, they try to provide stu- dents with as wide a variety as possible of books, periodicals, reference guides and audio-visual materials. lts 107,696 square feet and seating ca- pacity for 1500 students provides the main study space for a large portion of students. And if they need help, the staff of profes- sional librarians and student workers can be contacted. Also, an information desk is staffed until nine p.m. Monday through Thursday. ln addition to the main sections of books, the library also has a centralized reference area on the second floor that includes ency- clopedias in Spanish, German, French, and Russian, a documents library on the first floor housing various government publica- tions, and an audio-visual center on the tenth floor with records, language tapes, videotapes and other such materials. Although the amount of checked-out ma- terial decreased slightly with the addition of copiers, the circulation volume is still high. The latest facts show that the main desk handled 95,862 check-outs, documents had 18,875 and the audio-visual department on the tenth floor had 10,076 persons using their materials. , The library is continually adding to and improving its services. Recent acquisitions include microfilm and microfiche readers, besides a continual flow of new books. Begun recently was the reclassification of some materials with the Library of Con- gress system rather than the familiar Dew- ey Decimals. A section of the fourth floor is devoted to this new method, and gradual phasing-in of it is planned for the reference and periodical sections. Prescott Library, in other areas, contains the University Art Gallery on the fifth floor, and a temporary office space for the Regis- trar and Financial Aid during the renovation of Keeny Hall. With all these services, they certainly achieve that rather wordy goal. -Susan Pierce 'hr'
