As the school grew the students kept right in step by... Taking Initiative Whether president of the S.G.A. or a first semester freshman, we took initiative. The mere fact that we were in college placed us in a special category. The decision to attend college was one of the most important decisions of our lives. Many of us immediately noticed the difference between high school friends that decided not to attend college, and those who did. We grew personally at an incredible rate. For 12 years we learned the basics, but the scant years we put in at college changed us dramatically. As we were challenged to reach our potential, we found our strengths and worked on our weaknesses. As college students we learned to motivate ourselves. Everything from getting up for an eight-o'clock class to preparing for a rigorous finals week took initiative. We had no parents to make us study, no bosses to look over our shoulders, and no federal law requiring us to stay in school. The world opened up to us for our examination and understanding. Sometimes the lack of structure and the amount of choices we had seemed overwhelming. There were so many things going on. Students everywhere were involved in sports, academics, fraternities, sororities and or any of the various clubs and organizations. Here at Radford University we shaped our environment as few student bodies could. Our size allowed us to have a great impact on the direction the school took. Our 7.500 students were involved in over 110 clubs and organizations. We exerted great influence through active support of the school and voiced our opinions on matters that, at alot of universities, were left solely up to the administration. Students were a bit more conservative than their predecessors of the 60 s and early 70 s, but we were just as active. Early in the year Radford University students actively protested the Klu Klux Klan. and actually turned back their march in the downtown area. The S.G.A. sponsored a Radford Unity Festival that attracted tremendous amounts of students and directed positive energy in support of love and equality everywhere. We learned to work through established channels to make our school continually better. The university took initiative by enriching our environment. The international exchange program brought us students with fresh viewpoints. Our Distinguished Visiting Professor series brought renowned leaders of the world to our classrooms to arouse our minds about international issues we could focus on. Radford University was a place where the students, faculty and administration worked together to improve our environment and our minds. We had a beautiful school full of caring, hard working people. We looked around, took pride, supported the people who worked hard, and always sought the opportunity to take initiative to better ourselves and the university, by Steve Perkins Enjoying a walk can bo nice, but not always whan Students dread them, professors have a hard lime Bleary-eyed, with cobwebs still in the head, these your destination is the classroom. leaching them — yes, It 's the eight o'clock class, students trudge to class in the earty morning mist.
