CAMPUS Off the Record D.C. Atal Being a student at OU is not all studies. After class students participated in the Halloween celebration, Homecoming, fashion, going to shows and all the green weekends to the finale with Springfest and Graduation. All of these things made up the campus life of Ohio University plus much more. Campus life was the goings-on after class. Meeting with friends at the dorm, at a friend ' s apartment, or even at a favorite uptown bar was part of this. These were the things that made college memorable and easier to work through. The friends that the students made here would be the ones that last a lifetime. Along with these private gatherings were the many organized events throughout the year. Homecoming was the first, with many student organiza- tions taking part in the festivities by helping with the parade and receptions all over campus. The Performing Artist Series brought the names of Maynard Ferguson, Rosalind Newman Dancers, National Theater of the Deaf, and Le Ballet Trocadero De Monte Carlo with others throughout fall, winter, and spring quarter. Lectures were organized by Student Lecture Series and the Ohio University Theater performed Seascape, The Corn is Green, The Hostage and others. All of these performances formed the culture of the campus. Spring quarter was the busiest. Fun in the sun made any endeavor more exciting. There was the annual Beach Party to raise money for Springfest, OU ' s Party . Each Green took a weekend and planned different events including bands, beer and a variety of entertainment. Part of Ohio University was the Greek community who began their year with rush. Throughout the year they had programs for their groups and the community. Examples of these programs where The Big Splash and the annual Greek Week competition. The year would not have been complete without graduation and this graduation was marked by being the year that the class of 1986 had their names indivdually called as opposed to just the college being recognized. All of these things that were off the record made campus life off the wall. litest -4 i - -♦ .- ■ v Campus Life Divider — i
