Its Personality way to find what constitutes your own peace. But Jerry Kirk and Margie Noller have managed to create for them- selves a peaceful corner in the busy excitement of campus Life. Perhaps they mirror some of the thoughts of students on college campuses throughout the country and around the world. This, however, is just a small part of their lives, as both are active in student affairs and have their classwork to attend to. Photographer ' s Best (Marilyn Hamner)

LIKE ANY COLLEGE v orthy of the name, Riverside City College has its own uni que personality. Contributing to it are the person- alities of students and instructors. Indeed, it is the very image of their minds and their abilities, of their aspirations and their dreams. A college ' s personality is likewise shaped by the archi- tecture of its buildings, the land- scaping of its campus. Students are full of humor and happiness — and not just a little worry — especially around grade time.

All of us know those moments when nothing goes right, when the v hole world seems to con- spire against us. Youth is re- silient, however, and for the most part student life is marked by good humor and optimism. Students gather in classroom and Quad; they come together in large groups for football games and rallies, in small gatherings for the purpose of imbiding hot coffee. But scholarship is a lone- ly occupation, and those who follow it must learn to isolate themselves mentally from the crowd, the better to ponder the great ideas laid before them by the faculty.
