Wkai ' d it to- mui ? As the fall semester kicks into motion col- lege campuses all across the country witness the circumstance known as theme-atic shock. This occurs when yearbook staffs struggle, toil and perform various verbal and typog- raphical gymnastics to create a theme that is so creative and rhapsodical that everyone is taken back by it, yet which encompasses per- fectly the entire year ' s occurences. At the Gumbo we experienced the same phe- nomenon, but we could not find one single idea that alone did justice to the events and people at LSU. Finally it came to our editor as she flung herself onto her bed in a most dis- traught fashion. Her roommate came in and, knowing that Lisa was searching for the per- fect theme asked, Have you thought up theme yet? Tears welled up in Lisa ' s now- irate green eyes. Jerking into a sitting position Lisa snapped out four little words that would live on in infamy: What ' s it to you ' ? The moment was tense as both girls were fixed in each other ' s gaze. Then the roommate said, Yeah, I like it. It ' s really good. Thus the birth of a theme. Incorporated into the theme is a graphic de- sign. The slash seen on the pages of the Gum- bo can be interpreted in a number of ways. Is it a tiger stripe? Could it be a graphic repre- sentation of the heartbeat of LSU? These are but a couple ideas. What ' s it to you? Oh what a feeling to participate in the various fund raising games during M.D. week on the parade grounds. For some the quad and the ' quadraliz- ing ' therein represented an intrical part of their academic career. Taking advantage of this was Peggy Kmg, while MeMssa Roy quietly enjoyed The Daily Reveille. What ' s it to yo.
