Into the Heart of P.S.U. Below. Bobby Rose demon- strates that a classroom is not the only place to study. It outsiders or new students wished to examine the Pembroke State University campus — its mood, its atmosphere, the people who make up the school — they would discover a world in itself. They would discover, for instance, numerous academic activities, such as guest lectures, many active clubs and honor organizations, and school trips and retreats to Washington, D.C., New York, or the North Carolina mountains. The wide variety of ethnic groups also distinguishes the university. It is comprised of Chinese, Finnish, Creek, Iranian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mexican, and Nigerian students who have traveled very far to arrive at this university. In addition, this campus is mainly composed of Black, Indian and Caucasian students; this variety in backgrounds clearly sets this campus apart. A wide range of entertainment exists on campus — whether it ' s a disco in the student center or Homecoming, a campus movie or the annual PIKA beach party, a dorm-room party or the Halloween dance, watch- ing television or attending the Miss PSU Pageant — and at times, although rarely admitted, even a class can be entertaining. The special bond between profes- sors and students is evident. Each student is given individual attention, and the professors are willing to help students extensively. It is never odd to see a professor and a student snacking in the Wagon Wheel, strolling through the campus, or even car-pooling together. Students are not treated as numbers, rather as individual human beings. It is very easy to sense how athletic most students are: the tennis courts are full each afternoon, the fields are occupied by either the soccer players, S oftball players or intramural football players, and throughout Pembroke, track-team members are spotted jogging the afternoon away.
