.. continued put in our time in the seminar or lecture. After four or five days of grueling studies and cramming for tests, campers often allow themselves a few hours of luxury by the pool on warm weekends. When the bugs get too itchy, sunbathers have the option of diving in the Olympic-sized pool or mellowing their muscles in the Jacuzzi. Stretched out before the tanning rays with some tunes playing on the ghetto blaster. it's hard to believe this isn't really camp. Walk down the path from Upsilon parking lot to the heart of campus. You see students with their books in the sun. (Catch those rays at all cost!) You see Southern California palms lining the baseball field. You see workers busily raking. sawing and mowing—keeping the grounds in landscape order. You see bronzed males tying surfboards to the tops of their sports cars. You see. on a clear day. the ocean, blue and white, and Palos Verdes and Catalina Island and Santa Cruz Island. You see little scraps of color dotting the waters, sailboats out to harness the wind. Sometimes you see a movie star (Kris Kristofferson. say. or Bruce Dern) challenging the track. Is what you see what you get? Sometimes. Sometimes, though, you get fog and mudslides and fires. Sometimes everyone has gone home for the weekend and you are left for a lonely two to three days with your books and syllabi. Sometimes you want to get off campus badly, but the car is in the shop, or worse yet, you left it at home, 500 miles away. So what is Pepperdine? It is a resort where the Aryan and Iranian alike sunworship on velour body towels, their bodies well-greased with coconut Coppertone. It is a country club where the rich kids in their Polo shirts, shorts and Topsiders congregate to discuss the rise and fall of Dow Jones. It is a retreat where those whose souls are searching and yearning can extend an empty hand and find it covered with the warmth of an understanding heart. It is a exploratorium where scholars can grope with curious minds and discover grand old and new wisdoms. It's a camp where we fend off homesickness, fight over bunks, slap at the bugs, complain about the food, make new friendships, learn new crafts, discover the world and in it. find ourselves.
