Study: The Long, Lonely Struggle One can surround himself with a crowd at a football game, a party, or even in the library for one of those last minute cram sessions, but when he comes right down to “the mo- ment of truth” (an exam), he finds himself utterly alone. He may claim that “knowledge is the only impor- tant thing” — and a few rare, fortu- nate people can truly feel this way — but if he is like most, he knows that basically he wants to be in the sweet part of that grade curve — passing. In the dog-eat-dog world a student’s struggle for academic sur- vival depends greatly on the isolated individual. Thus one can recognize two rea- sons for the vast amount of study that characterizes the SOSU cam- pus; first, the student wishes to learn; secondly, the student wishes to succeed. The two can occur si- multaneously, but need not. Indeed, one often has difficulty determining whether ego or dedication drives a man. In either case or in both, the lonely hours with books and thoughts are most dreaded, but it is in these hours that the great constel- lations were charted, the great nov- els written, and the great schools were given the formulation of their worth.

bhhhbbhhhhhh Southeastern: Legend And Life Southeastern is a place to be lone- ly in a crowd or lionized at a rush party. It is a place to be in love with a student, laughing with others, and to be lost: physically, mentally, spiritually. In short. Southeastern is a place for living. But Southeastern is also a school which looks back on almost a cen- tury of history and tradition. A school which prides itself upon inge- nuity, “hellraising,” academic ex- cellence, and even daring. Its very name conjures up visions of basket- ball, oscilloscopes, and slide rules. In fact, Southeastern is (at least to its students) somewhat of a legend. So how does one accurately por- tray Southeastern student life in the year 1977-1978? If one talks only of the legend, he may speak merely in cliches, arriving at a picture of an institution that no student would consider quite sincere. But if one emphasizes only the individual, he not only attempts a task far too complex, but he loses some of the uniqueness of Southeastern as a whole. One must show both sides, for each student represents one of those differentials of individuality that make SOSU what it is, just as SOSU represents one of those dif- ferentials of experience that make a student’s life what it will be. Southeastern is legend and life — the pointlessness or the pride of a time — honored tradition — the sorrow or the magic of an ordinary day.
