MY BUDDY. Being away from home and parental supervision does something to some college students. With the stress of school, it ' s nice to have something around that makes you feel at home.

I am all for acting like a kid. I have to act responsible most the day and it’s nice sometimes to just act immature and be able to get away with it. I was unable to act like this at home and now I can. CHAD EDELEN NINTENDO POWER The only way you can tell the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.

FROM WATCHING CARTOONS TO SLEEPING WITH A FAVORITE STUFFED ANIMAL, COLLEGE STUDENTS BREAKDOWN AND BECOME eing a grown up isn ' t easy, but no one said it would be. Although society expects college students to act their age, students occasionally took out the toys and enjoyed play time. BY TINA CANFIELD It has been said that the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. Most students would agree that al¬ though they are adults, ranging from 18 to 80 years old, they were still kids at heart. Senior Dorothy Selig enjoys watching cartoons. “Cartoons are a religious event in my house,” she said. Selig wasn’t alone. Senior Scott Stewart confessed to watch¬ ing Saturday morning cartoons. So did junior Carter Freeman. “I love watching the Road Runner,” Freeman said. Cartoons were indeed a common denominator that adults shared with kids. Playing video games was another way of having fun that wasn’t limited to the bubble gum crowd. Rusty Thomas, a junior, claimed that he was an Outrun fan. “Every time I go to Food-4-Less on Highway 71,1 stop to play Outrun — I’ve been playing it since I was a senior in high school.” Nintendo and computer games were as popular as arcade games. “It’s a way to get at my anxieties and cuss at something that won’t cuss back,” sophomore Jeff Soderling said. Kite flying was another way of letting loose and having fun. John Farrell, senior, got together with his friends to fly kites in the parking lot of Tara Apartments or at Lake Fayetteville. Malania White, freshman, still liked to blow soap bubbles and have tickle fights with her boyfriend. Senior Mike Copeland still liked to climb trees. Sophomore Jorjana Gladden admitted that she still goes through Kay Bee Toys to play with the test models. Gladden also confessed that she still took bubble baths with Mr. Bubble. Another sophomore, Sandra Wood, still enjoyed passing out May Day baskets. Snowball and water fights, reading comic books, building model planes and watching Star Trek were among the many interests of senior Roy Hallquist. Sandy Webb claimed she enjoyed ambushing people in her dorm by attacking them with a water gun. “I like to shoot people and watch ‘em run,” she said. Sophomore Don Johnson, said that he still ate Trix cereal, but what he enjoyed most is “getting the toy out of the cereal box.” And, sophomore Phil Reid still slept with his teddy bear. From playing Nerf basketball to watching cartoons, students proved they could still be adults and act like big kids. • 16 Student Life

SILENT MOMENT. School, bills, parents, neighbors and even friends can overload a person. Tim Melikian, as well as other stu¬ dents have found solitude and con¬ tentment in prayer. J. APPLEBY PHOTO Heads Many Students think student Christians are religious fanatics, out to condemn others. I want these students to know that Christians are like everyone else. Although, we have excepted the gift of God into our hearts. DEREK FORD CONDEMNER Students headed for the Union Plaza to hear the sermon of Brother Jim Gillies, a young preacher who con¬ sidered himself a divinely inspired messenger of the Lord and everyone else a fornicator. Gillies claimed rock music, miniskirts and homo¬ sexuals were all the work of Satan. R. ROBERTSON PHOTO FLUNKED QUIZ.
