4 DIFFBRENCE OF. mOLVEMENT INVOLVEMENT VS. THEREOF By Kristine Drue LACK St. Mary ' s College is a very unique and special school. Even as a freshman, I would reccommend anyone and every- one to consider going here. We all have such a great time at the wide variety of events that take place. How many col- leges do you know that have dances for every occassion? A junior prom? A sen- ior bail? Or has open mic, casino night, or events where not only is everyone invited, but everyone shows up and can actually move and maintain life? There are so many festive activities going on, that there is no excuse for hav- ing a lonely and boring night at home. So why is it that there are a few lonely, bored souls sitting on their ugly, cheap college student couch moping about their problem? Be lieve me, if I had a phone number Ed give it to you, and tell you to go call that bum and get him off his off her duff. But, I don ' t, so the best we can do is try to understand why some people don ' t involve themselves in St. Mary ' s festivities? As an off-campus student living in Lafayette, I can honestly say that social life for a student living off-campus can be more difficult. But still, there is no excuse. Though I am not able to attend every event, I do manage to hit the ma- jority of them. And from this. Eve met many people that I could go to a movie with, shopping, visit the Lafayette Re- sevoir for a picnic or perhaps a simple chat. The only other excuse, besides work- ing (but hey who works every night of the week?) is shyness. For those of you who have this excuse to run to, forget it. 1 hate to tell you, but once again this is no excuse! Shyness is a problem, grant- ed, but it is one that you ' re going to get over sooner or later. And what better time and place than a night of fun at St. Mary ' s College! We all love people, and a new friend is always welcome. Don ' t worry that once you get here, no one will talk to you, because the opposite is bound to happen. Sometimes I find my- self locking myself in the nearest bath- room and clutching my hair when peo- ple are so busy talking I can ' t even get away to get a drink. Is it worthwhile for people who are sitting at home bored and lonely, to get off their duff and become involved? Yes, of course! Are the differences be- tween being involved and not being in- volved important? Yes, because what is college life without parties, friends, and good times? An education is important, but not all of what you need to know in life will come from your books. 07 T ' PB1 S ' HeS

Heating Up With The Competition! f (SCOTT KAHL) PEP RALLY ST. MARY ' S STYLE By Arthur Ponce What happens when St. Mary ' s attempts a tradition which has been a part of football since, . . . well, a long time ago. Let ' s start off by saying what traditionally should of happened did not. First of all there was no band; well we have a small band, but they were probably practicing for the game. There were also no cheerleaders. Probabably because there were no football players for them to cheer for, they didn ' t show up. So far what is an event of great tradition did not have the traditional fight song played by the 100 piece band, it did not have the starting offense or defense, nor did it have the cheerleaders cheering for them. The bonfire did have a very important piece of tradition, the bonfire, accompanied by the barbequing of a symbol of the opponent. This year it happened to be a Cossack from Sonoma State. Although it may not have been as exciting as watching hundreds of frenzied Trojans throw- ing a large bear into a fire sustained mostly by living room furniture from surrounding frats, it did have its inspiring moments. What it did provide was a good time in the traditional St. Mary ' s spirit. There were plenty of party mugs filled with beer, party music appropriately supplied by a party convertible, and party people. What else could you ask for?
