A GLANCE at the Myriad activities of a university fill a student's day to capacity with events so tightly wedged that he seems to be more in a vise than in a school. It's hecnc--yet cannons hfe is an integral part of any school, a part awaited eagerly, dreaded as it ap- proaches and renunnbered for a hfe span. ln a school of any considerable size, events con- stantly conflict with other events of equal import- ance. lt would be difficult to portray all activities at North Texas-from football practice to a tea in the home demonstration cottage-because of their scope. An average day on campus is not easily depicted, for everyones acdviues are scauered froni coHege to college with premeditated abundance. To call this a glimpse into an average day would be inaccurate. These are only a few things that happen frequendy'chning a tvnive hour span at NTSU.

A class day is a combination of many things -a study of weird assignments, exercise and a steady rush to be at a meeting on time. In the recurrent confusion of schedules that dole out proper amounts of time and supposedly conserve energy, often a student reflects on his activity and its worthiness for him personally. Activity is good, but by spreading oneself thin over many things, no one profits as he should. Stairstep superintendents skeptically watch a flustered female frantically scurry to a meeting and mentally lay bets on whether she can successfully slip into place before the gavel bangs. Relaxation assumes every conceivable form from sleeping to ping-ponging the hours away, as this pair demonstrates at the Baptist Student Union. Left: Art, finding no beauty in an oppressive classroom, moves outside at the slightest quiver of an autumn leaf. Bottom right: A tap dancing class in physical education almost removes the dance from the realm of art to exercise.
