TRADITION Tradifion, if per- vades every aspecf of our lives in some say. It reflects do- ing things a certain way, seeing Things from a particular perspective, or ac- fing in a prescribed pattern. Traditions are rich at OSU from the campus land- marks such as the Edmon Low library and Old Central, To annual celebra'rions such as homecom- ing and Campus Ches'r. Although fradi- tions are in abun- dance here at OSU, there are many sighfs and events fha'r are no'r ?radi- fional, 'rhaf add something extra, something dif- ferent. From the new Nobel Research Center To cultural fes'rivals and theatre produc- tions, OSU is a uni- versity where one can find fradi'rion with a flair! Eskimo Joe's has been an OSU tradition since 1975 When owner Stan Clark flrst opened the doors. Its popularity has since ex- panded and there are few Oklahomans who have not at least heard of, if they have not visited, the renowned bar.

I spy something orange. Could it be OSU? As one looks at OSU What is seen? The first sights en- countered by most stu- dents are usually tall brown buildings and green shrubbery. These buildingls put off a feeling that could send shivers down anyone's back. They look cold and uninviting. Then one begins to recognize the people of Oklahoma State Universi- ty; hundreds of people, each going about their own business. Some wear suits while others dress as casual as shorts and T- shirts What one wears or how one looks doesnt really matter. Many smil- ing faces greet say tthellol, as they pass by. One may start to wonder ltWhat is it that makes OSU so special?. Our campus is decorated with beautiful green trees and flowers. The buildings have creative architectur- al shapes and designs. These things are pleasing to the eye and try to break the first feelings of being unsure and alone, but one could never understand the true meanings of OSU and its campus until attending it. One not only sees the friendly faces and the spirit of the school, but feels it too. Most students will acquire the feelings of pride, loyalty, and Hthat you really fit in within the first semester. These feelings occur after at- tending classes, meeting new people, owning some type of OSU or Eskimo Joels paraphernalia, and rooting for our Cowboys at the first home football game. Most students feel that the education you receive is worth every cent. Pro- fessors and faculty are usually willing to help With problems that occur and are quite understan- ding about the situations. Education is a major part of campus life and in- fluences what we see around us. One can also feel the Greeks all around. Al- though they have a sepa- Morrill Hall houses OSUls English and speech departments. STUDENT LIFE photos by Antonio Hansen 1' You Got Thle Look OS U 's campus is unmistakeable rate life other than the educational system here, the Greek system is still part of OSU and seen on campus. Other organiza- tions, along with Greek life create a great part of the spirit and pride of OSU. Another part of OSU,s tradition is Old Central. After Visiting Old Central a greater understanding comes of the campus look. It gives reasons that ex- plain why OSU is what it is today and how we came to this point. Information it contains shows the many trials and tribula- story by Vicki E d u'a rds tions that Oklahoma State University has overcome mainly because of the hard work and dedication put forth by its founders. Everyone knows that how one feels inside af- fects presentation of one- self to others. Feeling good causes a kind of shine With an Houter glow.H Everything down to the smallest pinpoint is a part of OSU. All of these things create the feeling one gets from OSU. This is what gives our campus it,s ltlook and what makes it so special.
