Watson Library is a popular spot for students to meet, visit, study or just plain Hit the Books The library has long been the logical place to go when writing a paper, doing research, looking for a magazine or studying. Students find Watson Library on North- western ' s campus is oftentimes a meeting place for studying students to get together. The group study rooms usually attract those students who intend to do homework, but end up visiting with friends, sleeping or writing letters. It seems like, on weeknights, that if there ' s nothing else to do, everyone goes to the library, says Lisa Jan Bryant. That ' s usually where everyone is! But the library is certainly more than just a place students find to socialize. I like to go up there during the day, says Jerry Cream- er. It ' s usually quiet and I don ' t have to worry about too many people. Lynn Estes, like many other students, finds himself trying to avoid the library! Unless I have a paper to do or a project for a class, I never think to go there. Regardless of the reason, students and re- searchers alike find that Watson is an excel- lent library, especially for those with an in- terest in Louisiana history. So the library offers a whole lot more than just hitting the books. Finding books can be tiring, but this student rolls right through it. Many students find the library a relaxing place to hit the books while others assemble to socialize and visit with friends. 14 Watson Library

Students Clay Mayeaux and Angela Cross catch up on homework before class starts. Tracy Fisher, a sophomore, says I enjoy all the different aspects I get to learn. It ' s not the same thing over and over again. I want to learn how to sell to people and about business ethics. Practicality and success are some reasons stu- dents choose the business world. In business, you learn a lot more about how our economic system works, commented Rachel Dupre, a freshman. This is practical if you are going to live successfully in the real world. I love NSU ' s program simply because all the major business principles are stressed, she said. In business, you can learn each separate part well and then put them together as a whole. Senior SuSu Williamson wants to go out in the business world and work in the marketing field. She says the most enjoyable part is learning about the business world and how it operates. By majoring in business, Paige Whitley, a freshman, hopes to learn how to manage mon- ey and be my own boss. There are many other phases and aspects to the business field, and most business students, like Damian Montelaro, a freshman, find that it is a lot of hard work. But it remains true that whatever you do, you ' ll always get back to business. While most students find business classes enjoyable, they also find that it is a lot of hard work.
