Taking first-place in oratory competition at the spring speech festival, Derrel Goodman delivers his speech about the dangers of drunken driving. Will I make it on time? becomes the thought of this student as he hurriedly makes strides across campus. Whether it's lean or fat, big chunks or little pieces of beef or pork, the meat of a sauce piquante makes up the body of the dish. These different types of meat add a certain flavor and taste to a sauce piquante, making it a hodge-podge of just about everything. From the fat which allows good flavor to the lean which gives you something to bite into, the Cajun delicacy soon begins to take shape as the meat is added. And while you may cook it a little longer or stir it harder, once the meat of a sauce piquante is mixed, the taste is determined. Much like the meat of a sauce piquante, the students of a college make up the body of the school. Each has a certain quality or flavor, giving the school its uniqueness. Without this unique collec- tion, all colleges would become stereotypes with all having the same flavor. Thus, as it is important to have various types of meat in a sauce piquante, it is just as important to have different types of students, each making up part of the body of the school with his own unique ways and ideas. Playing a hand of cards, smoking a cigarette, learning the latest gossip, or taking a quick nap, the Union becomes the meeting place of everyone on campus. l06 Classes Divider
