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.

Graduate and commuter students comprised a ma- jority of the enrollment. Summer school settled down to a routine of relaxation and research, progress and growth. It was a time for reflection on the past, for contem- plation of the future and for pride of accomplishment. And the campus bustled.
