Side By Side Imagine where Northeast would be if our people did not support each other and give and take of themselves in that manner. Picture an athletic event where each play- er on the team fol- lowed his own rules. There would surely be chaos and most like- ly that team could crown their season a loss. What would happen to each organization on campus if no one joined or participated? In an or- ganization, so much emphasis is placed on work- ing side by side with other members. Without this cooperation in assigning and carrying out respon- sibilities and working together, most clubs would never benefit or survive. As groups at NLU work together, they strive to be the best. They work hard and the dedication pays off in the end when the final results hits the front page in the form of a winning season, a suc- cessful fund raiser or a crowning victory. The people at NLU are also special and unique in themselves. Living together in dorms, going to classes, studying, eating and partying together all contribute in bringing them closer together and to strengthening the bonds of friendship. ay tH S@eeen - : Richard Lupo ¥ , Like a rainbow of color on a cloudy is day, NLU students know how to spend their spare time in cheery ways, be it ee. looking for the cute linebacker in the football program, strolling along the beach during summer breaks or aiming at targets hoping to win the ladies’ heart.

The special = bonds of friend- ship become even more sacred for those students who enter the Greek system. Sharing good and bad experiences alike by each brother or sister’s side is a stronghold that binds the ties of friend- ships even stronger. One of, if not the, most impor- tant reason for attending NLU is to receive a qual- ity education. Here again is proof of the ability of students and faculty alike to work side by side, helping each other grow and learn. In each class- room there is a give and take situation. The teach- er shares his knowledge and will even spend time with the student outside of class. But, the pupil in turn does his part, for a professor is usually reluc- tant to lecture to a set of empty wooden desks. So working together, each student can learn from the teachers knowledge that can further their educa- tion to its maximum potential. This year was a memorable one, and one that you can treasure forever with the help of this book. Starting with Student Life and ending with Faces, you can read chapter by chapter the people, places and dates that were so important to you this year. It has always been said that two can do any- thing better than one. In most cases, as NLU, that is the only way. Working together, helping each other, sharing life’s experiences and growing as a unit, that is our style. Because no matter what the obstacle, we can conquer it... sidy by side. Involvement can be found in all facets of life at NLU; one area important for Laurie Young, track star, was carrying the Olympic torch through Monroe. Participation also occurs on the mighty Indian football team, on the shores of the bayou as Jennifer and daughter Lindsey Grimes feed the ducks, and also in the lab as Mike Pickett, Daphne Howard and Paulette McKeller conduct experiments.
