11V SUNSHINE AND NO LINES The pace at UT slowed to a steady crawl as students spent their summer in classes working off credit hours. College men got a secret thrill checking out the high school cheerleaders as they practiced at cheerlead- ing camp, while UT women were enter- tained by the antics of Alejandro and friends. The small university atmosphere offered no lines and plenty of parking spaces. But by the end of the two sessions of summer school, students were ready to get things rolling again as radio announcers began cranking uIt,s football time in TennesseeV I co-op. Pve never been to school in the spring, but I definitely pick Summer Quarter over Winter Quarter. It goes a lot quicker. The only problem is they throw a lot at you in less time. h - Mike West, sophomore engineering Summer School Living Summer Quarter hhSummer school is great. 1 recommend it for everyone because of the small number of students. The atmosphere is much more relaxed. - Joe Thompson, senior, architecture t7 am in summer school because I wanted to get far enough ahead to work on a second undergraduate de- gree. It,s much better than Winter Quarter, but ifs no comparison to Fall. There seems to be less tension, everyone is taking fewer hours and taking it easy. - Darrell Baldwin, senior, business The Aquatic Center became the most popular place to catch rays as the summer sun was too hot for dorm- top sun bathers. Several moonlight swims were held during the quarter, both legal and illegal. With the entire campus population located in the Presidential Complex in the summer, the courtyard became the center of activity in the warm evening hours. Having completed his studying for the next days classes, Mike West, a sophomore in engineering, plays with a canine friend in front of Reese Hall.
