ACTIVITIES A psychology professor said, One of the most important parts of a college education is learning how to live.” Text-book info is just the first step to a happy and successful life. Learning to live with people is an art in itself, and it is towards this end that the University sponsors a host of extra-curricular activities. There is no reason for a U-M student becoming a recluse. Even those who harbor the most serious of life’s goals may find relaxation through such mediums as the band, student publications and the student association. Many a top-notch journalist or politician got his start through college channels. And for those who are more military-minded, tin Air Force and Army ROTC provide an escape from book drudgery as well as preparation for the future. Even the casual coke date in the slop shop is a lesson in the give and take of a well-rounded life. Some of it is hard work, like poring over the last forms of Hurricane copy at two in the morning, or sweating out the heat of a political campaign, but it's worth it. It's those extra-curricular activities that students remember long after the A in English or Philosophy is forgotten. And it's the success in these fields that helps determine those students whose names appear in the coveted “Who’s Who in American Universities and Colleges.' This is living! ◄ THE LIGHTS GO DOWN in the Orange Bowl and the U-M’s Band of the Hour takos the field to present precision drills. 23
