Catching the Spirit of New Beginnings In the beginning, the Board of Regents of the University of Texas iy ‘sean sean eae i school system, created the Administra- = %, ‘ ‘mone conn tion building along with the Registrar’s office. Here is where the UT El Paso student begins his or her life at the uni- versity. Upon acceptance to the school, one’s college career begins. Whether a full-time, four-year student or a part-timer on the 10-year plan, life on campus progresses through a series of plateaus. Many students participate in freshmen orientation. This is where oth- er students and staff personel take in- coming freshmen from building to build- ing and show them the ropes of school life. Soon, students fall right into place and certain activities become old hat. For those lucky few who bank at MBank and own a MPACT card, the MPACT machine becomes a regular stop during school time. The most obvious sign that school is starting again though, is freshly painted crosswalks and parking spaces. Sees S288 » HI i || | Student Life 1 Oisoias Dzong La

Wi | WY. J ; = Miner Maniacs. They appear at foot- ball games, at basketball games and al- most everywhere on campus spreading the infection of Miner Fever. They are the high-spirited students of UT El Paso who will support their Miner teams in any crazy way they can. They use props, wear make-up and don zany costumes. Some carry signs, others just use their voice. These students have orange blood running through their veins and Miner sports on their brains. Their mission is to promote a lot of good feeling on the campus and in the stands. MINER MANIA HITS UT EL PASO CAMPUS. Clockwise from right, Pay Dirt Pete keeps the crowd rowdy and wild during football and basket- ball games. This little tyke studies the Miner bask- etball team as they run up and down the court. The cheerleading squad performs for the Miner Maniacs at a pep rally before a football game. Some day these gents hope to judge the Miners and their opponent at the NCAA championships. They are definitely prejudiced as they give the Miners a 10.0 and the WAC opponent a 0.0 rat- ing. Some fans feel their officiating is preferred over the referees on the court. These fans have been bitten by the Miner bug pretty severely.
