The win shocks many while residents re- joice with the fame. This illustrates one facet up-side down life on campus. Encompassing everything . from housing to Homecoming, student life was the heartbeat of 1 the University. Turning the campus up-side down were a series of additions land subtractions like a reduction he student body that brought on cheaper and better housing a condemned Old Mountaineer Field that boasted NO TRESPASSING ' signs on all bounds, an implemented Validine system that checked Ldent ID cards at sports events, a campaign that at tempted to take away the ' students ' 50-yard-line seats and night football games that gave back Saturday afternoons.

o uuifimi. ec r fron Academics urviving the worst torture a person should ever have to en- iure (second-semester inals week), thousands f students packed heir bags, boxes and .uitcases to head home for three much-needed months of R and R. As the mass evacuation began, students ' multi- faceted summer plans were obvious. For some, the time became money. The lucky few who man- aged to snag jobs spent a majority of time fat- tening up their bank accounts or building up fall wardrobes. Flocking to the beaches, big cities and overseas, many took time to travel. The Humanities Depart- ment and Foreign Language Departments sponsored tours of Europe for college credit. Friends paired up and traveled to the seashore, caught a few waves and soaked in the sun. Trips to cities like New York, Philadelphia and Chicago were popular for the small-town stu- dent. To catch up, some came back to WVU while a few stayed home and attended other colleges. A healthy mixture of work, travel and, yes, studying added to a touch of kicking one ' s shoes off. This combination created a picture-perfect recipe for summer R and R. By Arika Anderson RAIN, WIND AND SWIFT WAVES do not scare Leonore Nelson from enjoy- ing her day at the beach.
