B Goodbye finals; hello sun REARING AWAY Summer — a time when most Tech students broke the steady routine of the school year and took off in every di- rection to pursue a wide vari- ety of endeavors. The Tech Student Recrea- tion Center entered two teams in the Yellowhouse Canyon Raft Race sponsored by the Lubbock City Parks and Re- creation Services. The Rec Outdoor Shop team took first place in the four- man rubber raft division, but the Rec Equipment Rental team ran into some problems. Two guys hit us from be- hind; we ran into a sign and punctured our raft, said Pau- la Tate, team member. The race took place at Canyon Lakes 1 and 2. Students attended semi- nars, and learned Tech tradi- tions during summer orienta- tion. About 20 students worked as Raider Aiders. They conducted tours and served as direction guides. Some students were in- volved with internships. For the past two summers I have worked on architecture pro- jects with the city of Gaines- ville, said Byron Yeatts, an architecture and engineering major. I was responsible for drawing a map of the town. Six Tech students were mis- sionaries in Australia in con- junction with the Southern Baptist Convention, which works with the Baptist Stu- dent Union. We worked with youth groups of various churches and organized ' after school clubs, ' where we ministered through the use of puppets, singing, Bible stories and games, said Tony Gruben, an electrical engineering major. — Jamie Stewart Golf provided an escape for Tech stu- dents during the summer as it gave them a chance to get away from the hassles of summer school to enjoy the sunshine.
