Although students come to college to fur- ther their education, most of their time is spent outside the classroom, and this makes social activities an important part of college life. Students dressed in costumes for this 1930's Leming Hall party. vt'??i' Ei l l Although students come to Southeast to learn, the majority of heir time is spent in other activities. These other activities comprise tudent life. Whether it was taking in a movie, walking to the Show- vie Center for a concert or basketball game, or frequenting the night- pots of Cape Girardeau, students were never at a loss for things to do. The seven hall councils have always been charged with providing mall residents with entertaining, educational programs, but they did t with renewed vigor this year. All students could enjoy the new Rec enter and Show-Me Center. The Rec Center provided modern, in- oor exercise with racquetball, basketball, and weight equipment, the Show-Me Center gave students indians and Otahkians basketball, Jopular rock and country musicians, and various other entertainment events. The varied opportunities that were available helped to make stu- lent life at Southeast a cut above the rest. Student Life

W REO Speedwagon rocked the Show-Me Center crowd with many of the new and former Top 20 singles. From the opening set to the final encore, the show kept the audi- ence guessing and screaming for more. Called by many The Mark Harmon of Country Music , George Strait had women of all ages, sizes and shapes lined up en masse near the stage. Strait sang his way through 20 songs, each one producing whoops and hol- lers from his adoring fans. I Diar of A Mad Concert - Goer 10:00 p.m. - I'm here! I count and find that I'm about the twentieth person in line. The George Strait concert just fin- ished. I slept for a few hours this afternoon so that I could make it through the night. Armed with homework, a couple of novels, and chocolate, I'm ready for anything. 11:00 p.m. - I found out that the first person in line was there from 2:30 this afternoon. As I look out into the parking lot, I see people throwing Frisbees and footballs. Oh, look! It's the George Strait tour bus. Every- body waves. 12:00 a.m. - I had to add a lay- er of clothes. I just finished reading the first of my two nov- els, so I reward myself with some chocolate. 1:00 a.m. - 3 hours down, only 8 to go. fIt's only been three hours??J The line is still grow- ing, I estimate around 50-75 people total. Right now, I'm playing rummy with some friends, and I can't feel my nose. 2:00 a.m. - A trip to Cut-Mart to use the facilities is a neces- sity, Luckily, there was someone to hold my place in the line for me. - Continued Student Life 1 3
