University life is seldom pictured to he more than a series of mental traffic jams, but it is much more than this. It is an intramural football game in grimy sweat shirts. It is a job at which one Works his Way through school. lt is the pleasant sensation of reaching a goal by using one's mind. lt is conver- sation with friends or a study session at the pond on a pleasant afternoon. lt is a special date at the last minute. It is a lingering kiss or a brush of lips across a cheek at twilight. Worries and headaches caused by a coed's multitudinous activities all seem to subside as a uniformed guy, on a clear fall night, stops with his girl in a shadowy spot on campus.

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.

Bottom right: A tap dancing class in physical education almost removes the dance from the realm of art to exercise.
