3 of the Hill Student life is for the living as we have discovered and there is more to it than classrooms and laboratories. It hasn’t been the stiff ho-hum we expected. Everyone always said that this would be the time of our lives, and to some extent, they have been right. Productive growth has always been a rewarding feeling, but so has hav¬ ing fun just for the sake of having fun. Both of these are necessary and it was hard to determine when one took precedence over the other. We all have set our own pace in the directions we have chosen. In 1984 we found that there were as many directions as there were peo¬ ple coming to and going from Sul Ross. There is a unique quality about Sul Ross and its students. We have dared to be different. We had to give up a lot of things to be where we were, but we have gained so much in return. Whew! Leslie Walzel and a friend take a break from the action during a horseshoeing assignment at the Leoncita Ranch. Student Life 19

Sul Ross doesn’t close for three months after the last final in May. In fact, it barely slows down. During the summer months, two semes¬ ters of courses are taught in addition to all of the special programs offered. This summer the enrollment figures were up over those in 1982. Many of the summer students are teachers from the area schools who continue their education in the off-season. The summer of 1983 was a good one for the Sul Ross rodeo teams. The men and women made their annual pilgrimage to Bozeman, Montana for the College Na¬ tional Finals Rodeo. The cowboys success¬ fully defended their national title while the ladies came away with third place. To top off the winnings, sophomore Suzi Wilkie was named Miss College Rodeo USA. The summer is also the time that the Theatre of the Big Bend cranks up at Ko- kernot Theatre. The troupe capped off their eighteenth season with The Cotton Patch Gospel. Summer ’tis the season for field trips. In 1983 the Chihuahuan Desert offered a great natural laboratory to under-dressed biology and geology students from all over the country. continued on the following page Miss College Rodeo USA — Suzi Wilkie, a sopho¬ more communications major and the 1983 Sul Ross Rodeo Queen, participated in the NIRA competition in Bozeman and won.
