Campus life )tudent life on the Minnesota campus encompasses broad areas of participation and activity. You want to know how- broad? Begin with getting a hopped up, well supervised taste of University life at Welcome week, or parking your car in a 25 cents the first hour, 5 cents each additional hour lot, or decorating a house for Homecoming, or trudging through sloppy, melting snow on the Mall, or stutlying with your girl in one of the campus libraries. Continue through having coffee in the noisy, clinking Union, or sitting alone in a huge, crowded lecture class, or running for all-University congress, or typing into the night in a lonely, dark, tlcserted publications office, or playing an instrument in the University band, or being caught up by that exciting college spirit at a football game, or waiting in line to register at the Ad building, or appearing in a hot, dusty Campus Carni chorus line, or graduating in June. Even then you ' ve hardly scratched the surface. These are the tangibles, the organized activities in which a stu- dent finds his place, identifies himself and becomes a part of this immense University. But in these you find only a part of student life. It is other things, less tangible. It is an indefinable growth and maturation, a collection of extra-curricular un- derstanding, insight, strength and poise.
