During the years a student is enrolled at the University of Minnesota classes, textbooks, classmates, instructors, bells, bills and finals are very much a part of his life. In fact obtaining a college degree becomes the guiding force in the student's life, and all else becomes secondary. Each year the University welcomes thousands of freshmen. Each year the University graduates thousands of seniors. During the interim the University transforms wondering freshmen into self-assured, educated adults. University life isn't easy. To most it's the key to a better future. To some it's a four-year playground, to others a place to find a mate. To all, the University makes itself felt in one way or another. On these pages, University life is portrayed by the married student, the foreign student and a 5-year-old boy. Gerald Johnson is a married student. To him the University means a stepping stone to a better life for his wife and two daughters. At times he finds the life of a student a little difficult to reconcile with the life of a family man, but he and his wife realize this is but a period in their lives. They are willing to work hard now in order to have a better home for themselves and their girls. Minnesota’s students different problems, same goal 4
