WM ' j ' f|3 | BUH nffir y Rusty Mcknight TVTever a dull mo- merit! Life at MSU may be many things, but it is not boring. State has a very active campus. No matter what ac- tivities interest an in- dividual, it is easy to find something to do. The Student Associa- tion provides many opportunities for MSU students to be- come involved in campus activities. From student govern- ment to concerts to the newspaper and yearbook, there are numer- ous activities for students who wish to be involved in campus leadership. Pa- rades, pep rallies, and movies also provide enjoy- able diversions. For stu- dents who enjoy partying, there is always something going on from September to May. Frat row, swaps, and the local night life give students a number of party options. Students tastes vary from rock to country and from quiet and peace- ful to wacky and wild. MSU offers something for everyone. OPENING 9

MSU sponsors over 20 dif- ferent intercollegiate teams that compete in the Southeastern Con- ference, always one of the most competitive in the NCAA. Complementing varsity athletics, State also boasts the strong- est Intramural program in the SEC. The De- partment of Recreation and Intramural Athlet- ics is responsible for the management and scheduling of State ' s various intramural fa- cilities. Over 65% of the students attending MSU are involved in the more than 60 ac- tivities sponsored by the Intramural Sports Department. Whether cheering on Coach Ron Polk ' s Diamond Dogs during the Spring, or playing tennis or ra- quetball at the intra- mural courts, most State students partici- pate in MSU athletics in one way or another. Varsity and intramural activities provide a val- uable break from the trials and frustrations of seemingly endless lectures and class as- signments. OPENING 1 1
