alking back from uptown Oxford to get the weekends party supplies. Stopping to look at the messages on the Delta Gamma kiosk. Both events were indelibly etched into the memory of each Miami University stu- dent. While neither one of wihese; occurrences were earth-shattering events, they were part of the daily life that every student had in common. The frantic struggle to achieve and 'overachieve both in the classroom and in campus activities was masked by the more visible appear- ance of frequent parties and long lines at uptown bars... ' Each studentls four years at Miami became something special. Some memories would soon pass, but many would re- main, reminding people of some of the most carefree times in life. Everyone leaving would carry some part of the school with them into the outside world, using the experi- ence and education so unique at Miami to be suc- cessful in all walks of life.

Steven J. Petran igns on cam- p u s t r e e s soon became rare sights af- ter the informal student organization, Stop Pollu- tion on Trees, began tear- ing down the advertise- ments. SPOT began tearing down the signs in October in an effort to stop iivisual ollution on campus. While signs on trees did disappear for the majority of the year, this presented problems for other stu- dent organizations. The biggest of these problems was how to effectively advertise group meetings and campus events with- out the expense of adver- tising in local newspapers and on radio. The issue of this upollu- tionii never was solved. Campus groups started to post their messages on bulletin boards in resi- dence and academic halls and in the Shriver Center as well. Although unpopular with many student lead- ers, SPOT felt they repre- sented most students in their effort to beautify the campus. Opening
