77m6 to 5,043 .. MWWWMQ Although it has been said before college isn't just for acquiring knowl- edge. According to Kippy Wells the purpose of col- lege is to meet friends your own age, have fun, wear sweats, go Greek, oh, and if you learn something along the way - it's not too bad, either. Times have changed, and the things Sting couldn't learn of 'up in college' are considered old hat and fit only for biol- ogy 101. Besides being ex- pected to increase mental aptitude, TU students also need to grow emotionally, spiritually and physically. Tim Young feels that the TU philosophy works at teaching the living, breathing student, not merely the abstract, intel- lectual one. TU recognizes that the means of achieving an education often causes problems of another na- ture. As jeff Knox says, Making the A and suc- ceeding in life are the cen- tral focus of college, and together, they add up to unbelievable amounts of stress. In the past year the uni- versity has provided the means for students to learn about stress Cthrough seminarsl, about relationships Cthrough clubs and lec- turesl, about safe sex Cthrough parties and pamphletsl, about weight control Cthrough dorm food and IIPERD, about reli- gion Cthrough chapel Elena Holliman sets strings in motion under the direction of Derry Deane, of the music faculty.

Throw in work, so- cializing, a little recreation, some studying and meals, and you've got the schedule of a busy TU student. But, you say, there are some hours missing. Ask any TU student and he or she will tell you where the missing hours can be found: be- tween 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. After a day of yawning through 50-minute torture sessions, taking exams and writing essays, it's time to relax and blow off steam. How does a TU student spell relief? Number 10: STUDYING. Face it. Some people just can't get enough of it. Others simply put everything off until the last minute. They start their 10-page essay at 11:30 p. m. the night before it is due and read a 300-page book the night before exams. Each time they vow Never again. Number 9: VIDEO GAMES. It is rumored the screens emit a hyp- notic aura which addicts people to dropping shiny quarters into tiny slots. Number 8: POOL. TU students spend hours applying the laws of physics Qspecifically the angle of incidence equals angle of reflec- tionj, moving colored balls around a green felt table. If totaled, the money that changes hands in a year's worth of games would fi- nance a year at TU. Number 7: NO BLOOD-NO FOUL, FULL CONTACT NERF HOOP BASKETBALL. The only rules are the ball must go through the hoop and an ambu- lance should be standing by to pick up the pieces. Number 6: SLEEPING. Stu- dents have to sleep sometime. Number 5: CRUISING THE LOBBY. It's cheaper than video, games and the pool table isn'ti open, Tammy Hamilton said. Two people talking in the hall will draw a crowd to rival the biggest parties of the year. Number 4: Giving in to the 13th person who asks, ARE YOU GOING TO jR's? Stephanie Lewis. Number 3: LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN. Number 2: LATE NIGHT FOOD RUN. Is it the cafeteria food or those tantalizing TV fast food commercials? Number 1: SITTING AROUND TRYING TO DE- CIDE WHAT TO DO WITH ALL OF THAT FREE TIME! Tim Ta ff
