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.

But North Texans Aren't Bored . . . n Inert Campus Marks Summer School y Summer school is considered an activity for the industrious, something the average student feels others may do but Hnot me. For the stoics who stay and col- lect grade points, North Texas is not always the dull, uninspiring, small, college town it is pictured to be. Administrative actions are evi- dent, but not more prominent than the student life. Free afternoons, lazy days spent in the dorm, a date to the lake, a movie in Dallas -the many activities available are seldom neglected. In Denton last J une, 3,000 stu- dents and an apparently languid campus bustled about unusual business . . . North Texas used its last three months as a college as a period of preparation. Visible preparation included the refurbishing of older struc- tures. The English Building was closed to have cobwebs cleared from dusty blackboards, and the old Home Economics Building had a face-lifting job begun to welcome the Art Department. Bare knees ease the swelter of a scramble to class. Casually dressed all day, boys seem oblivious to girls' envy of their comfort. . f N we 6 V f if 2 W, Z, I f . 2 5 2... -Q K 1'f Q 'X , MX SSW W f f A typical crowd in the coffee shop takes brief respite from daily heat in the air-conditioned UB to chat and drink Cokes between classes. l I 7
