No, Toto, this isn ' t Kansas and Tech doesn ' t have a wizard, but it has Spike Dykes. For Tech students Raider fans returning to school after a long summer without football, he was a sight for sore eyes. Autumn time (alias fall) — the lea%es are falling, the wind is blowing, football season is starting and basically, there is more going on than you think. I don ' t like walking to my 7:30 class along the sidewalk under those bean trees with those damn crows up there squawking and carrying on, said sophomore Raymond Billington. You ' d think those crows would have something better to do at 7:30 in the morning. It ' s bad enough with all those beans falling off the trees on our heads without having to listen to the squawking, too. I like the change in colors, said Cinde Tibbitts, a senior from California. Lubbock doesn ' t have much, but Tech does, and during the fall the campus is really pretty. I don ' t like the wind, though. I hate always having chapped lips and dry skin. Fall is more than a season of color change and windy weather: fall is a time when friends can re- unite and have lunch, sweat through an editing class or enjoy a road trip to a Tech football game. Football seems to be the consensus among Tech students as their favorite part of fall. Whether it be competing in intramurals. attending a Raider game or watching the Dallas Cowboys play on television, football provided an escape for students who were under stress from the classroom. Just give me the couch, some hot chocolate and Monday Night Football and I ' ll be happy — but no homework, said Billington. Fall meant the beginning of the semester, which for many students, was well received. It ' s always good to get back to school, because it gives me a chance to get reacquainted with friends I haven ' t seen all summer, said Kris Moritz, a senior marketing major. — Tony Renteria Buying books was part nf the fall rit- uals.
