y search for more of the things I couldn't see began at a small office in Westby. This office is, of course, the Ken- dallabrum. But as I spent hours and hours in this room daily, I began to be a little less inspired by the bright blue walls and brown curtains. So I began to search on the cam- pus instead of in the office and I noticed something: Every student on this campus always has a certain spirit within. A spirit which captures the very essence of being a student at the University of Tulsa. It is the smallness and closeness and, yes, even the friendliness which captivates the hearts and the spirits of TU students. And this year was a good year for TU spirit for no matter when or where, everyone seemed to be more spirited than ever. But school spirit was not the only spirit at TU. As we grew together, the spirit of friendship and feeling accepted enveloped each and every one of us. We stood by each other in hard times and celebrated together when those hard times were through. The spirit of learning and being involved also kept us going as each day we went to classes only to be left feeling as if we hadn't learned anything at all. Yet, we still tried, and when those tests were through and our activities were finished, the spirit of having a good ole time lifted our spirits. It is upon this spirit that many TU students thrived on during the weekends, but as usual, Monday brought us back to where we were before. We were all united, though, by the spirit of being together as students of this Univer- sity.

ow that I had started to look below the surface of this campus, I began to find things I had never noticed before. My search, therefore, brought me to some very interesting stories such as how TU came to be known as the Golden Hurricane. At the end of a successful 7-0 record in 1922, Howard Archer, the head coach of the football team, stated that his team had roared through their opponents like IOF- r1adOeS- After that day,the football team began to be called the Golden Tornados. But when TU discovered that Georgia Tech had the same name, the team nickname was changed to the next best thing- the Golden Hurricane. Ever since then, students have been wav- ing their Hurricane warning flags and cheering on the Golden Hurricane to victo- ry. If Howard Archer had only known that his simple statement would capture the whole spirit of a University. What he had seen in his football team in 1922 should be an example to us all, for that Golden Hurri- cane spirit which captured Howard Archer has reached the hearts of thousands of alumni and students. I also discovered that what TU is today is nothing like what TU was forty or more years ago. McFarlin, for example, once was accessible by its front door which faced a circle drive surrounding the U, Kendall Hall is the site of Old Kendall College. Its ancient building was razed in the- early '70s. I could fill this whole yearbook with TU history, but I do not have room. What I do have room to say, however, is that the histo- ry of this campus is very interesting. It not only gave me a better understanding and appreciation of this school. More than any- thing else, it proved to me that there really is much more to' TU than meets the eye. lohn Cooper ttop leftl credits much of his success as a coach to Michael Gunter, whom he introduces at the homecoming pep rally. lphoto by: Charlot Ras-Allardl Bryon lones and Rodney Young ltop centerl leap high for five lphoto by: Charlot Ras- Allardl Mike Phillips ltop rightl is bursting with TU spirit. tphoto by: Charlot Ras-Allard?
