3 Lifestyles at Southeastern have become more relaxed and casual recently. The atmosphere between students, staff and faculty has taken on a new perspective that has succeeded in bringing everyone closer together. 1. A good illustration of the relaxed attitude between professor and student is demonstrated by Howard Starks and his humanities class. On sunny days they can be seen holding class out-of-doors. 2. Members of the cast for All My Sons take a few minutes to relax between scenes. 3. Relations between different ethnic groups on campus have improved greatly. The fountain is a favorite place for friends to get together for study or conversation. 4. One of the best examples of new dorm policies is dorm manager of North Hall, Claudia Wyatt. 4

A major is now offered in computer science along with the minor already available. Nine new courses were added this year to meet the needs of a society which grows more technical every year. 3. Donita Lowery and Joquita Kitchens await their turn in bowling class by keeping score for their teammates. 4. Music classes have taken on a new look as students seem to be plugged in to their music. The need for numerous practice rooms is eliminated with the use of headphones. Up to 12 students may practice simultaneously.

Parking problems are next to non- existent for bike riders and they don't have to worry about break- ing the 50 mph. speed limit. 2. Morrison Hall, also known as the Classroom Building, is the oldest building on campus and has be- come a symbol of Southeastern. The building has undergone a face lift recently. Students stop on the wide breezeway in front of the building to rap between classes. 3. Home Economics is not only for girls. Here, Dan Crafts takes a turn in the kitchen which is part of the hotel management course offered at SSC. 4. Large crowds of parents and relatives tour the campus during Southeastern's annual Parent's Day. Planned for the fall semester, parents of SSC stu- dents are presented a day of college life. A wide range of activities are planned each year. Some of these are a luncheon, football game and several receptions. 3
