I think if I lived in an apartment or elsewhere, I would get real lonely. Scott also emphasizes the importance she places on friends. One of the saddest thoughts I sometimes get is about someday having to leave all my pals. Sue also talks of her philosophy towards time and money. Just wasting time is what I hate to do the most. I like to keep moving on with my life, every moment, and look to what the future will be bringing. Asked if the future would eventually include marraige, Sue opened up, saying, Oh, I'm sure Illl get married eventually. She added that whoever her husband was, he would be rich. I like money and I don't think that's a fault. Handled right it can bring a lot of happiness to a lot of people. Of course a love of money can easily become a big problem for anyone. In a side remark, Sue pointed out, I guess no matter how happy anyone appears, or hopes they appear, we all get down or depressed now and then. But I've got an answer that cures me everytime I'm down in the dumps. We load up a car with people and head for Shawnee and Benton's Fried Chicken. That'll put the Zing back in anyone's day!

From OU students who live in the many apartment complexes adjacent to campus to those people who drive from Oklahoma City or other outlaying towns to classes in Norman, the commuting life is many things to many people. And within this grouping is of course included those people who maintain their residence at home, living with their parents in Norman or nearby areas. Obviously, the pressure of collegiate academics coupled with the pressure of family living makes for a unique student life-style. Such is the case with Dick Pryor. Dick Pryor, a junior and a business major at the University of Oklahoma, lives with his mother in an average residential home on Kansas Street in Norman. Asked of the relative advantages and disadvantages of living at home while attending college, Dick said, It makes for a strange OPPOSITE: The decor of Pryoris room exhibits not only his enthusiasm for athletics, but his loyalty to the Big Red. LEFT: Dick, in a passive mood, talks about the unique life of a commuter and the problems it entails. BELOW: Studying is a part of every student's life and Dick, being no exception, maintains a special place in his room for just that.
