Janie Hughes - 1979 Senior Janie Hughes, a granddaughter of former college president Ftees Hughes, will be graduated from PSU in May with a degree in recreational therapy. Hughes, 21, attended Labette county Ju- nior College in her hometown, Parsons, for one year on a tennis scholarship. The school was only two blocks from my house. I only planned to go there one year to get some of the basics out of the way, Hughes said. Hughes transfered to PSU in the fall se- mester of 1966. l'm the only person in my family besides my father who has at- tended PSU. l think it's a good school. Traveling with the tennis team, l've seen a lot of colleges, and l've never seen any that compare to PSU, she said. Hughes has been a member of the PSU tennis team for three years. She recently won second place in the 1978 CSIC tour- nament. Hughes was also accepted into Who's Who Among College and Universi- ty Students in 1978-79. After living in the dorm her first semester on campus, Hughes moved into the Sig- ma Sigma Sigma sorority house at 2006 S. Elm. I like being away from home: l'm enjoying my independence. The Tri-Sig house is always busy. There is always someone around to do things with. The Tri-Sig house presents a problem in studying, but Hughes said she feels she has discovered a solution to this problem. She has no afternoon classes, therefore she manages to catch the only quiet part of the day in the house to hit her books. Aside from working in a department store during junior college, Hughes hasn't tak- en on any jobs during school. Her parents are paying for her education, and Hughes uses her wages from summer jobs for spending money. Last summer Hughes completed her in- ternship at the Institute of Logopedics at Wichita where she was a gym teacher and assisted the horticulture therapist. She had had some experience in her field previously when she helped with adaptive PE classes for retarded Pittsburg citizens during her junior year. Hughes' goal is to work for an institute that helps physically and mentally handi- capped citizens. l would also like to work for VISTA or the Peace Corps, she said.
