Cheering at a football game, working in a class¬ room, relaxing at a campus dance, participating in extra-curricular activities, the Arkansas student prac¬ tices citizenship, friendship, and leadership. Gone is the idea of a happy-go-lucky, pennant- waving, goldfish-swallowing Joe College. Today’s college student may be fun-loving, but he is no longer blithely carefree. Gone, too, is the idea that college is a four-year period of suspended animation. The modern college student, alert, aware, with a sense of his own re¬ sponsibility, has dispelled that. Originally, a state university was supposed to teach the students who came to study on its campus. This is still a very important part of its work, but no long¬ er the only part. By research, it is expected to add to the general human knowledge. And now, it must serve as fully as possible not only the citizens on its

campus but all the citizens of its state. This has made the University of Arkansas, along with other state universities, an integral and invaluable institution in its state. I he curriculum at Arkansas is constantly being augmented and improved. Its research facilities keep pace with the latest scientific and technological developments. And the U niversity is justifiably proud of its physical expansion. Social and recreational facilities are de¬ signed so that every student may find activi¬ ties of particular interest to him, whether they he dancing, tennis, photography, or any of a hundred others. Professional and honorary organizations thrive, too, where a student may find guidance an d training in the various fields in which he is interested. Through extra-curricular activi¬ ties, he makes practical use of his training and interests, participating in plays, working on a earn pus publication, competing in a debate tournament. When Arkansas students get together, at an out-of-town football game, an alum ban- Tiet, or merely by accident, the sight of a red a nd white cap, or the band’s playing of the Alma Mater, or the mention of a familiar name, seems to make them old acquaintances, nch i s the attitude, unconscious perhaps, of its students. It is more than a pride in the bine Arts Center, or the campus. It is simply the pride in being, or having been, a student a t Arkansas. The Arkansas Story is being continuously written. It is a story that will manifest itself ln an office building, on a farm, in an artist’s studio, in a school room, in a law court, in an cn gineer’s shack. It has no ending as yet, for it will con¬ tinue to be written as long as there is a Uni¬ versity of Arkansas. They go to class—sometimes. And play football, or watch football being played. And party, party, party.
