Hanging Loose On Campus On any relatively mild day, a quick tour of Glassboro State College would show students re- laxing in the sunshine all over campus. It was almost as if the rise in temperature caused a proportionate increse in the earth ' s gravity, pull- ing students to the ground for studying, napping, socializing or suntanning. It is never hard to find an appropriate spot to sit back for awhile be- tween or after classes. Most students had some personal preferences, but favorite locations were the circular bench- es in front of the Stu- dent Center, the court- yard opposite Savitz Library, any wall or staircase that provided adequate back support (or, for that matter, any stationary horizontal plane), and, of course, beautiful Bunce lawn, immortalized by Under- graduate catalogues and Admissions application booklets. These photos show some of our finest exam- ples of students practic- ing the art of hanging loose . Even the floor of Evergreen Hall lobby will do as a desk.

Other habits and rituals were a part of our day-to-day, activity, like the noontime mailbox cere- mony or hide and seek games with parking guardhouse atten- dants. They will be easy enough to break out of after leaving, but will probably creep back into our consciousness sooner or later as memories of our stay at GSC. 0!
