Although each person is a little bit different, there has to be some similarities among university students. Since students spend so much time here it has to have an effect on their lifestyles. To find out more about student life the Diorama distributed questionnaires abou t life at CINA. The way a student budgets time is largely determined by the university ' s influence. For example, in a 24-hour period each student spends approximately 6-8 hours sleeping and 6-7 hours in classes and studying. This leaves about 9-12 hours for leisure, work, meals, and other needs. These results hold true for all four undergraduate classifications. How money is spent depends on where the student lives and whether or not he is married. Single students who live with their parents spend a large percentage of their money on their social life and clothes. A smaller part is spent on gas and food. Dorm residents spend their money much like those who live at home. But the ones who live in apartments spend money differently. Food and rent take up a large amount of their money. Married students also spend more money on necessities than on social activities. The questionnaire also included a question to find out some of the students ' likes and dislikes. Freshmen seemed to be most pleased with the college environment. Things they include that they liked were the freedom of college life, a nice and appealing campus, challenging teachers, and a variety of social activities. (cont. on page 13) Some students combine activities to save time. Kenneth White studies his Fortran in the snack bar at Friday ' s while eating a late lunch. Terrell and Phyllis Swindall work on their budget at the kitchen table. They live in the married students ' apartments. 12 Kttta
