NATALI EANDERSON EDITORINCHIEF When we look back on our college years some time down the road, we will have two types of memories. Some will be from the major events like moving out of our parents’ house and receiving our diplomas, but others will be from insignificant days when something significant enough happened to make our minds store it away. These spontaneous times of laughter, tears, suc¬ cess and failure, looking back, were what was remembered most when our minds drifted to our experience at the University of Arkansas. Sometimes little things that happened in our routine, occasionally mundane, daily lives etched themselves away in our psyche. Looking back, we will not remember how we did on the second chem I exam, but we will remember the details of the con¬ versation had with our roommate the night before when we should have been studying for it. This is because our days were not spent in Mullins Library donating three hours of outside study for every one hour we spent in class, as was recommended. Instead, we spent our days getting around having to study. We prolonged and procrastinated the very thing we were here to do; but that was life. We were a population of more than sixteen thousand concentrated in a very small area. How could we avoid spending our out-of-class hours, and sometimes in-class hours, among friends? To define campus life during this year is to give a description of nights on the town, hours talking in dorms, jokes told in frat houses, games played in the HPER, lazy days on the Union Mall, dates in Fayetteville restaurants, weekend trips home, coffee breaks at Common Grounds, sorority sisters running late, money earned at part-time jobs, fights, parties, small crises and great tragedies. These comprised our daily lives, the little and big things. The times we rushed through and the times we realized were special enough to pause and take note of. Life moved fast, and before we knew it, our name was called to go receive the certificate that signi¬ fied the end of it all, and the beginning of our next great adventure. DIVISION
