More important than the places — Ol- ive DcLucc and the rest of the gang — are the people people are the forces that make things at NWMSU click the ones who come in hoards in the fall and leave in droves in the spring without them, you realize, NWMSU would be one big, fat zero stuck in the middle of nowhere. If Barbara Streisand were here, she ' d probably tell you that people are the luckiest people in the world. NWMSU is lucky because there will always be people around to lean on, people to talk to, people to share with, people to laugh with, and people to cry with.

Relating with people can teach stu- dents a far more important lesson than any test, simply because the every-day business of living has never been de- fined in clear-cut terms applicable to textbooks. One of the neatest things about people is that they don ' t have to do anything spectacular or expensive to have fun. Whether it ' s reverting back to your childhood by blowing chum gum bubbles and building snowmen, congregating in crowds to celebrate Homecoming or just ' watch- ing the Horace Mann students play in some farmer ' s tractor tires, people at NWMSU just naturally enjoy life. But once in awhile you need something to keep you sane. You pulled three all- nighters studying comparitive anato- my, went to two parties and attended a Bearcat football game (they ' re syn- onymous, you learned, especially after Homecoming), lor these occasions, NVVMSU offers a variety of activities. Whether it ' s riding a bicycle, support- ing the ' Cats and ' Kittens, attending the Performing Art and Lecture Se- ries, or just sleeping, you ' ll probably get the break you need — and deser- ve.
