Diversity % o£ ;4 dtccctectt In the 90 ' s the typical col- lege student can no longer be easily defined. Here at the U of A, it is not uncom- mon to see students aged 1 7-71 , from all 50 states and 120 foreign countries. Traditional college stu- dents share classes and friendships with students from diverse ethnic groups. While walking around cam- pus, you may pass a mem- ber of the campus Republi- cans, Arizona Student Pa- gans, or Golden Key Na- tional Honorary. Students pursue majors ranging from nursing to hydrology to women ' s studies. Whatever your interests, beliefs, or career aspirations may be, you are certain to find others that share your interests here at the U of A. However, not everyone wants to blend in, so it is not rare to see individuals around campus replacing the traditional shorts and t- shirts and expessing their own unique style. I ' m living art, said freshman Art His- tory major Ta ' ra Muth. Muth can usually be seen wearing dramatic, black, or vintage clothing. My style is always evolving. I didn ' t just wake up one morning and decide to throw out all of my clothes. When I started to get inter- ested in art and expression I realized that the way I dress is an outlet of myself. Other students choose to be a little different on the inside. I don ' t make it a point to try to be different, but then I don ' t really want to be like everyone else, said freshman Amie Heinz. I guess I just try to be myself which means being sincere when I meet people. That is different. Students at the U of A realize that we are all here for the same purpose and agree to disagree politically, religiously, and academi- cally. The styles, views, and interests of students and fac- ulty, whether unique or shared, prove that we can be whoever we want to be. by Melissa Prentice Student Life 15
