by Ronda Davis A unique asset of University life was the brother-sister wing. A good brother-sister wing relationship had much to teach about life itself. In effect, it was a microcosm example of Christianity in action. Each and every relationship began with the first meeting. Be it a water- melon bash behind Howard Audi- torium or a dinner at SAGA, first impressions were formed. Often, the wing residents quickly decided whether this wing would be special or not. Their attitudes made all the differ- ence. Without enthusiasm, no amount of prodding by resident advisors, wing chaplains or activities chairmen could make the year outstanding. Once the first meeting was over, a process occurred which is perfectly described by the first line of a song from The King and I. Getting to know you, getting to know all about you ... began, The same questions were asked Where are you from?, What's your major?, What year are you?

Practices were riotous, especially for coaches who were confronted by the sight of a star quarterback passing the ball to an opponent or tripping on the famous triple-reverse play or a cen- ter who forgot to hike the ball. Eventually, the season began. Wings supported each other. Several girls were usually present at the brother's game. Guys often made it to the girl's game, too. One wing cheered their sis- ters on with a 10-man pyramid. A good television show provided a time to get together for wing-mates Dave Strobel, Chris Gable and leff McGee.

Camp Fin and Feather, Lake Keystone and Six Flags over Texas were well-liked locations. Retreats provided a relaxed atmosphere for fun and con- versation.
