iffy' H-.xxx 'QI e A ' ' 3 p , ---Q The temptation of a fistful of snow and the passing of a pretty girl are usually too much for a healthy rambunctious Spartan male to resist. 26 STUDENT RECREATION At Michigan State, fun time is almost any time at all. Scraps of time snatched from study and class schedules linger on and stretch out over coffee, cigarettes and conversation. Whether singly, doubly or in groups, students indulge in sim- ple pleasures: serious study of contemporary cards, the trium- phant setting of a slam hand, loosening a tie at a Saturday night party, rambling through a misty night past Beaumont, debating knee-length skirts and the Peace Corps, Ft. Lauderdale and the Rose Bowl, james Ioyce and student government. Yet even recreation is coupled with the same intense concen- tration devoted to serious endeavors - a concentration fostered by the realization that time is all too short and that even daily pleasures must be enjoyed hard to be enjoyed at all.

Y ' 'N STUDENT LIFE Far heyond the huh-huh of daily university life each Spartan finds a haven to call his own. No matter what his age, sex or marital status, home to each student hecomes simply that corner of the campus where he can be alone with himself, his friends or his new and growing family. VVhether desire or necessity places him in university-supported living quarters or informal off-campus housing, comfort and at- mosphere are desired and attained through personal decorating schemes which demand more ingenuity than money. For many, residence halls and Greek houses provide congenial community living and lessons in patience and tolerance. For others, the freedom found in home or apartment living is suffi- cient reward for the often familiar sacrifices of inconvenience and monetary difficulties. Yet to all, the Spartan life is a good life. Friendly fellowship in residence halls is fostered by close quarters and congenial room- and precinct-mates. 5 ..,.c' Off-campus apartment living offers room to sprawl and a home to call one's own. , A .WY 1- v N .Y ,Q f Q , f K f M ij, X A ,, V- I S, J darn, M . ,, ,, A . , H pplls ,, , V K ' ,, . .
