DROP DAY Drop day means a return to freedom for some. You simply can ' t handle eighteen hours , fifteen sounds ideal . Nothing can be compared to the feeling of dropping that one horrible, depressing, and suffocating class . DRINKING °RLC campus could be labeled dry country. It is uniquely located miles from drinking establishments , which naturally tends to cramp the daily beer drinking style of some students . But ' those dedicated to their hobby have mapped out several places to consider, using the wisdom that comes with age they ' re able to quench that thirst! NOTE: No alcoholic beverages allowed on campus ! ELECTIONS Student elections are held throughout the year at RLC. Each fall representatives are elected to the student governing body , the Student Senate . These elections closely resemble the campaign programs of any politician , including speeches , posters , and constant smiles . D-E 5

CARDS Hearts , spades , gin , and poker are just a few of the topics concerning card majors. The game of skill is apt to be found anywhere , from the oasis to the back seat of a long bus ride. Although RLC doesn ' t offer a degree in this field many have accumulated the hours to qualify . . . some students have been known to come to school for card playing when they have a free day. Is it a waste of time? Or just a useful drill for math majors? COMMUTING Due to the renovation of Warrior Hall the dorms are unavailable for student living this year. Commuting is the sole means of attending classes at RLC. The district pro- vides 1 , 923 students for our community college all of which, surprisingly enough, commute from their homes to campus .

EASTER BREAK Spring at last ! The true sign is Easter break . The drudgery of winter is melting away and now here comes the sun . . . Students celebrate the vacation in various ways and places. Some can finally go to Florida after all the planning - while others are sim- ply looking forward to watching TV on the couch . However it ' s observed . . . it ' s always greeted with a sigh. FACIAL EXPRESSIONS The tensions or boredom of the days build up in different students in various ways. A quick glance at a face can almost immediately reveal the success of the day . . . facial expressions are an easy and sat- isfying means of releasing the inevitable knots. FINALS WEEK Finals Week is the week of truth for all the effort put forth during the semester. You can usually tell by a quick glance at the test if those hours of cram- ming are going to pay off. A solemn stillness hangs around the campus the whole week. The moods range from elation that the end is finally here to the slap that possibly the end came too soon ! E-F 6
