by students. This fall they have enforced a new policy which allows students only 20 minutes of parking in front of College Hall. Of course, we all know this is ridiculous since it takes at least that long to see any of the big honchos. Regardless, sunstroke or not, the dedicated campus cops stand under trees in front of College Hall mechani- cally checking their watches, making sure there are no park- ing violations. Gleikfmbv A cheerleader is a person with a bright smile, a dynamic per- sonality, and a friend to every- one. These are a few traits which enable her to motivate the crowd to back up their team. Her enthusiasm in par- ticipating in pep rallies and at football games, shows her out- standing spirit. Rain or shine, win or lose, she still carries that certain smile. £D 3)adi 3)ay Oh dad, don’t embarrass me, is a common reaction to good old Dad's Day, Parents from all over come down to visit the A I campus and see their babies, Moms are seen i hauling loads of plants from the Ag building to the trunk of the car.

SBJktm The bookstore underwent changes this year, much to the students dissatisfaction. Now, instead of the old self-service way of selling books, the book- store launched a new system whereby employees behind a counter at the rear of the store ask students for a list of the books needed and they, often aimlessly and desperately, hunt for them. This met with much bickering, since the student was unable to examine a book or find out how much a book cost until actually purchasing the book. This also meant goodbye to browsing around and looking for the best used book. The new system also created another problem - it made another long line to wait in. It's not easy being a bad guy. But virtually this is what the campus cops have been labeled 23
