Richard Lupo John Jones One step further are the fraternities and sororities whose foundations are on the princi- ples of love and brotherhood. 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.

Dg Ate! High school is to prom, Student Council and spitballs, as college is to 1?! That blank is left for you to fill in yourself. For college means different things to each indi- vidual person. Yet, most young and eager high school grads would fill in that blank with the same words: Livin’ it up! Realistically speaking, college is a place where a student retreats from the world for about four years. Independence becomes a household word (or in most cases, dormhold word?!?) for everyone that survives the dorm shuffle, the registration ugh’s and book- buying blah’s. Mom and Dad either ooze back into your hometown and become available only for ex- tra funds or (if you’re so lucky) pop up with the camera and date-nut bread at the most uncompromising times. Either way, in most cases your not actually living with them any- more! Yet, although you’ve escaped the teenage trials, the “real world” is still out there some- where in the college senioritis twilight zone. So in this “limbo” period that someone in history donned as “college” becomes simply a time to prepare for that journey towards the “real world.” And nowhere is it stated that you can’t have a darn good time on your trip! As we proceed into our chapters of memo- ries, let’s first look at the things that brought you to NLU besides the curriculum. See for yourself how Northeast can live it up, side by side.
