Jennifer Mitchell and Jan Bledsoe find a place to play among the canoe racks at Camp Mack. Osunes people play: Rubik s and Pac Man There ' s an old saying that says, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Thank goodness for that. College would be pretty dull if time wasn ' t taken out to play. Play what? There were a lot of possibilities: play basketball, play cards, play pool, play pinball, or just play around. The new fad this year was to play with the Rubik ' s Cube. This puzzle took determination, patience, and hours of work to master as well. Soon after, remedies for ailments such as Cuber ' s Thumb and Cubitis hit the market as thousands of people became hooked on this three-dimensional puzzle. Another craze this year was Pac Man. This electronic game started out in pinball arcades and spread to all communities. In this game, the Pac Man goes around trying to eat up the little balls and stay away from Speedy, Blinky, and Winky at the same time. Whew! It ' s quite a trick. This game became so popular, that a song, Pac Man Fever, was written about it. Trying to avoid the inevitable tackle is Doug Justice.

College iss really people Webster ' s New Collegiate Dictionary defines a college as an independent institution of higher learning offering a course of general studies leading to a bachelor ' s degree. Yes, Manchester College is that, but what must be kept in mind is that Manchester College is nothing but empty buildings without people. Manchester needs people to teach, to study, to advise, and to serve each other. This includes people such as President Helman in administration, the lady who turns the cards over as students enter the Union cafeteria, and students attending classes. These people form relationships; some temporary and some life-long. Maybe college should be defined as an interaction of people. Some newly found friends from Oakwood are freshmen Teresa Dewey, Sonya Slavens, and Trina Chapman. Anticipating the outcome of her team ' s serve is Volleyball Coach Mrs. Lana Groombridge. 12 People
