While you wait Waiting. What's more natural, more common? Think about the last time you got what you wanted without waiting for it. In fact, waiting is so common that it's institutionalized - we have to stand in line if we expect to get what we want. Maybe waiting is unavoidable, especially at a large college. So, if it's true that pa- tience is really a virtue, then college stu- dents are certainly blessed with a great deal of it. For many, life can be one long wait. College begins and ends in lines: lines of new students registering for classes and lines of anxious graduates about to get their diplomas. In between, there's more waiting: lines at bookstores, at the campus cafeterias, at bus stops and at registration. Classes seem endless some days and vaca- tion lies so far ahead that the future is unthinkable. We all came to Iowa City for something. Most people came to be educated, to train themselves for the world outside the class- rooms. Whatever your goals or aspira- tions, this interlude of four tor morej years is designed to prepare you for life further down the road. In short, we came to the UI so that we can go somewhere else. College isn't a waste of time, though. Education is designed to better prepare students for the Hreal world we all hear about. Hopefully, our college backgrounds will ease us into the flow, using the knowl- edge wefve amassed. While I write this I can't help but recall something my fresh- man Rhetoric instructor once said. HA lib- eral arts education, she said, is for no one else but youf' Her comments really hit home with me because in those days, I was wondering what the Reformation and loess hills had to do with journalism. Wiser now, I realize that the UI has given me a broad view of life, though there are some questions we have to answer ourselves. College is a prelude of things to come and a chronology of what's been before. And no one says college has to be all lectures and exams, either. It can be fun. College can offer promise and creativity. We're all for it. This book is more than a record of lines and academic endeavors, our promise is broader. What's inside is a review of what went on during the wait, of people who made the most of it. Our pic- tures and words stress it over and over again: something is always happening here. However, the waiting doesn't stop here, there's more coming your way. l'd like to tell you that this book is the last thing you'll ever wait for, but I can'tg because it wouldn't be true. Meanwhile, enjoy what's around you, like the HA WKEYE. Keepl us handy. If you need your memory' jogged, take a look inside. Leaf through the pages, pause to recall an event or re- member a detail, it's all in your handsf We'll bring the year flooding back. Whilel you prepare or postpone. While you wait. - Kevin Lumsdon editor-in-chief Robyn Hepker V... Amy Kruushurir r I
