Ok Ou% Oumc The campus abounded with activity. Stu- dents of all ages, from the typical co-eds to the older returning students, were caught in a vi- cious cycle of daily routine. They went to class. They studied. They worked. They slept. But it was not always so monotonous. Events such as Spring Fling, Homecoming and Step Sing added diversity to campus life. Stu- dents performed in drama productions of Dr. Faustus and Chemin de Fer. They participat- ed in community theatre. Convocation pro- grams, such as the Vienna Boy ' s Choir and the Caracas New World Ballet, provided a respite from the books. And participation in intramural sports provided physical exercise as well as an opportunity to grow through teamwork. From long lectures and exams to summer festivals and rock concerts, the campus was a combined scene of education and entertain- ment. Division: Student Life 11
