4T »•• •V. Patience Everyone! A college career is a mixture of various experiences. One of these is most commonly called waiting. This tedious process begins when a fresh- man enters his first registration line and ends as he receives his diploma. Upon entering into these four years of learning, a student quickly realizes that desired goals and objects are never obtained without patience and work. Even though the experience of con- structively using acquired knowledge in an employment situation awaits most students, they become adapted to this process of waiting as a result of everyday occurrences. Day after day students stand in line for a meal or to receive infirmary care. The three longest lines students must be patient- ly bored in are the tuition, registration, and bookstore lines. Usually these lines are fast-moving and relatively interest- ing when friends are together. Luckily these time-consuming waits occur only two to three times a year. 22

Parties: Part of Campus Scene Frequently, P.S.U. has been called a party school, a term which may have a degrading connotation. Although several events on campus might have gotten out of hand, most were well organized and orderly. What was usually termed a party here on campus was the keg bashes and PJ parties supported by various fraternities or sororities throughout the year. These might have been annual events such as the pig pickin ' or once-a-month occasions. Not all P.S.U. parties are sessions of playing quarters. There were people who threw gala affairs celebrating a special friend ' s birthday or anniversary. Organizations toasted the completion of jobs well done or had parties to get the job done. Christmas and Thanks- giving are always two holidays when students juggle their schedules to allow free time for the overabundance of dinners and parties. There were simple get-togethers, too. Going to get pizza with several friends can be thought of as a party, as long as everyone receives some enjoyment out of being together. Whatever the reason for celebrating, this time was useful because it served as a tension release mechanism from overloaded schedules. - Above: Indianhead organizations co-editor Teresa Hyatt enjoys herself while gathering information at a Pi Kappa Phi Rush party held in the fall.
