The times of leisure are few and far between for the hardworking LSU student. What ' s it to you? LSU, that is. Is it a g.p.a. , a football game, a greek organization, a bell tower?

Destination: realization of your goals and dreams. Is it at the next station? It ' s up to you, just ride out the bumps along the way. Maybe at the next gate things will be richer and greener. It ' s just a matter of recovery and time. What ' s it to you? A crawfish boil winds up yet another successful Dorm Daze. A ghostly morning. The quad takes on an eerie perspective when the morn- ing fog is combined with infrared fihii. 8 What ' s it to you?
