Students untie 'apron strings' Attending college means moving away from home and beginning a new way of life for many students. It also means learning to do one’s own house- keeping, laundry and cooking. The ma- jor lesson for dormitory residents is learning to get along with people. In some cases, two roommates will share a room no larger than 13 feet by 18 feet. By the end of the semester they may end up good friends or worst en- emies. Living in the dorms also adds its own brand of social life. Activities have in- cluded floor taco parties, video take- out movies and semi-formal dances. The students living off-campus have a lot more freedom than the on-cam- pus residents. They have no resident advisers to remind them of visitation hours or to tell them to turn down their stereos. Some are lucky enough to get an apartment only a block or two from campus, but others may have a longer distance to travel to get to class. No matter where the students choose to lie, they learn to take care of themselves, with the help of friends, roommates and, often, mom and dad. — Becky Phelps D.J.

Excitement hovers over spirit rally The chanting and clapping from stu- dents echoed at Foster Field during the spirit rally. The winners of the banner competition were Centennial Towers West and Third Floor Conrad Hall. First in the spirit competition were Centen- nial Towers West with Centennial Towers East and the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity in second place. Loperman landed on Foster Field with his parachute, making his first ap- pearance on campus. There was suspense in the air as the homecoming royalty were announced. Homecoming King and Queen were Mitch Martin and Penny Hiller. Their attendants were Kim Pohl with Brad Conner and Marcia Steinkruger with Mark Perry. Following the spirit rally, the Toons gave an exciting concert. The students had fun dancing in the stands, and de- manded three encores at the end of the concert. — Becky Phelps The residents of Ludden Hall performed an original song and dance routine during the Yell-Like-Hell contest.
