MOM: ' ' Send cookies and money too ' While students were relaxing in summer sunshine and taking refreshing dips in swimming pools, the university found itself underwater too. On July 2, severe thunderstorms hit the Evansville area. Almost six inches of rain flooded the campus in a three- hour period. Hit hardest were Neu Chapel and Harper Dining Center. Total damages were over $200,000. No flood insurance was taken by the university accord- ing to Personnel Director Paul Estep because it was not deemed a top concern in the past. Work began the next morning to restore some order on campus. The basement of Harpers is shown above as work- ers began the job of pumping water. 2 OPENING Dear Mom, Well here I am at the University of Evansville. Life is really different here. I make my own bed, I do my own shopping, not to mention my laundry. By the way Mom, how do you get grape juice stains out of white pants? Also, how do I keep my underwear from turning pink? I put plenty of soap in the machine, but the whites turn colors! When you ' re sending this information send cookies and money too. You see, the food here isn ' t like home. Last night we ate this meat shaped like a hockey puck and at lunch today I ate a pizza with no cheese. I hear tonight they are giving us liver or meatloaf. I think I ' ll have peanut butter and pretzels in my room. I need money because the loan I applied for six months ago hasn ' t come in yet! They say it should be in by April, great! Send alot, I lost some money, I mean, lent some money to a friend who lost a bet. It ' s really different living in such small quarters! I ' m used to having a roommate but not living my entire life in one room. This room is our livingroom, familyroom, bedroom and recreation room all in one. It ' s not a bad room. We have

' ' everything within the confines of four streets ' Twenty-five years of radio broadcasting was celebrated at WUEV radio this year. Listeners were treated to a birth- day party and prizes given over the air. The station which is totally operated by students has made great progress during it ' s childhood. Office space in the Ad building along with the addition of a new tower being the most recent. WUEV is not only a radio alternative to the campus and community but also provides for a realistic training ground for students interested in the communications field. 4 OPENING two stereos, a reel-to-reel, a television, two clock radios, a strobe, a blacklight, a carpet, a tapestry and a refrigerator. There isn ' t any room to move around so we built some bunk beds. Last week my roommate found an old couch and moved that in. Now we don ' t have any room again. Now my roommate is talking about putting a table in the middle of the floor! Not only are the living quarters tight, but we live our entire life in one square block. We eat, sleep, go to school, shop, go to parties and everything within the confines of four streets. Anything outside of Rotherwood, Lincoln, Weinbach and Division is a mystery! 1 know my way to Robert ' s Stadium, Wesselman ' s, the Flowershop, Mac- Donalds and Washington Square Mall. Maybe if I had a car I could further my education! (hint, hint) I joined some organizations. I ' m going to be on the Union Board. I don ' t know what I ' ll do on it, but it sounded good, so I joined. I ' m also thinking about running for Student Congress. I ' m going to try-out for the one-acts and a choir next week. I ' m on Dorm Council, and I ' m in charge
