These efforts can be as simple as cheering the basketball team to victory or holding hands as the Our Father is prayed at the Christmas On Campus Mass. In turn the community also fosters the individual's talents. It awards academic achievers scholarships. It applauds singers and performers. It respects leaders. The 1984-85 year is part of the timely process of change. As we enter the records of yesteryear we begin to approach the Omega Point. 6fOp ning

3 to m ega ,--f The University and its students are a part of a unique and growing process. To live in the university world, one must struggle to learn, to experience, to understand all that is fundamental to a person's being. One acquires knowledge with others to develop a greater awareness of the depth and magnitude of universal love. Student life is a process of change and growth. The year began with a well-organized freshmen orientation and then followed with the famous Founders' Field Picnic. A few new twists entered the scope of fall happenings, with the first annual Block Party at 301 Lowes and a 20th anniversary celebration of Kennedy Union. Campus Carnival took on a Monopoly game theme and Homecoming was filled with rocking, rolling, and reminiscing. University students also anticipated favorite events such as Christmas on Campus, Turnabout, and Friendly Floyd's. The famous fests : Oktoberfest, Wintefest, and Springfest, were filled with a lot of hard work but the results were rewarding. As the year drew to a close, students began to count the days to the big event - graduation. All that University students learned and shared this year became a part of the constant process to reach the Omega and fulfill man's destiny of universal love. 8fStudent Life
