It is almost like home when the leaves start to fall — someone has to rake them up and mom and dad aren’t around. Ward Kellog and Richard Thomas, pledges at Beta Theta Pi, get stuck with cleaning up around the house prior to Dad’s Weekend. (Mike Anderson photo) While studying seems to take up the majority of students’ time, there always seems to be a little left for relaxation. Three members of the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity spend their study break play¬ ing hacky-sack in front of their house. (Scott Obom photo) I A Jb s most people, whether students, faculty, parents or visitors, come down the hill into Pullman for the first time, a question enters their head — what is this place? Why, in the middle of miles of wheat farms and little else, is there a mini-metropolis, an oasis in a desert of near nothingness? Washington State University is an oasis. No only does it support and maintain a small city where there might not be one otherwise, but Washington State University is an oasis of education. A place where students from all over the world, for one reason or another, come to learn — and to teach. A mass of skin can be seen at Boyer Pak during the Waterbust celebration.

Know™ as the home of the Cougans, the WSU area is also known for its gorgeous sunsets. Romantic evenings are topped off by beauty such as this. (Kim Williams photo) w w weekends in Pullman are taken up with a number of activities — not the least of which involves fan participation at athletic events. Because of the size of the town and its isolation, weekend relaxation activities might seem to be limited, but the case is just the opposite. Students on the prowl for a good time have no trouble finding it -- whether they are looking for crowds and noise or quiet and relaxation. Parties, football games and happy hours provide relaxation for the young and high-spirited. Quiet lounges or a night at home with a book, the TV and or someone close provide the atmosphere for those in a more mellow mood. ‘Go Cougs’ is the familiar chant as the WSU football team drives toward the goal line. Whether the team wins or not, the student-fans always seem to enjoy showing their support. (Rusty Coe photo) 8 Opening On the Prow?
