Wil 1 ,Q Place Cf Discovery ia ,fl if -at if , ' 'X-H Q -ur 4. - ' ' :Jn W O J? Dear Tulsa, When I first left for college I found myself at Buffalo airport with two suitcases and high dreams. Not to mention my Wilson tennis racquet, brand new Adidas bag, and Bauer ice-skates. You could tell I was a freshman going to a strange place and leaving my family and friends behind just by looking at my mixed up appearance. I looked like a polar bear taking off to the Sunbelts, for one thing. But I didn't care! I was anxious to see this place called Tulsa! As I waved good-bye to my family I walked on knowing I'd miss every- one. Yet I knew Tulsa was out there waiting for me. I felt at home right away when I arrived at the dorm and found out my roommate was from New jersey. We both decided our first year that we Northerners would never pick up that Okie accent and someday wear cowboy hats and boots. We proved ourselves wrong. Dur- ing Thanksgiving break we found ourselves hiking Iand I mean literally since we didn't have a carl to the Gilcrease Museum to view Indian art. By Spring Break we went swim- ming at the nearby lakes. Tulsa is not just a desert with tumbleweeds, we thought! Now, four years later, I have grown accustomed to the Tulsan ways and places. I, a Buffalonian, now freeze in any temperature below 85 degrees, eat foods like okra and nachos, and will force myself to go to strange mangas mist . 1 A-gfg2m'wa.4a v WTI ltr I bars like Cowboys I have discovered that Tulsa has become a part of me. Sunsets at Riv- erside, shopping at Utica Square, cultural events at Philbrook, the Tul- sa Run, and Downtown Tulsa have all made Tulsa my second hometown! Sure, I will always love Buffalo de- spite its cold winters but Tulsa has added something to my character, a different view of people and places. Now I am faced with the possibility of maybe leaving Tulsa after gradu- ation, but I can leave knowing why I brought my ice-skates as a freshman - l Can Skate INDOORS AT THE WIL- LIAMS CENTER! Sincerely, A true friend! 2 5 E . I I- ..l.., - x , , . .

...sg-2 Hu T' 'Ka Xx ai QU Coit-THD X. 1 ' '53 6 -V-paiv is F ST DE T LIFE ow many students at TU are really here to get an education? Probably most all of them. But when night time comes, whether weekday or weekend, TU students know how to have fun. The change in the drinking age, however, tried to dampen TU's partying spir- its. But not for long. After a week or two of being law-abiding citizens, TU students were once again celebrating life up and down fra- ternity row and at several popular places. As usual, the Taproom and a new spot, the Filling Station, attracted many TU crowds. Sometimes, though, studying did come first, and the only fun students had time to have was during midnight food break or an evening job. And then, clothes needed to be washed, rooms to be cleaned, friends to be visited . . . Finding time for everything wasn't as easy as it seemed. For this reason, P-E-A-C-E was sometimes the most fun any student want- ed to have., But take a look and see for yourself. At TU, there's more than meets the eye . . .
