hances — we are all given chances to resolve the courses or our lives. In the midst or unhappiness, we are given the chance to choose happiness. When faced with I misfortune, we have hope to help us fight back. In expecting great things, we are often given mediocre ones. But, we have the chance to produce greatness from mediocrity. As students, we are not always offered everything we need for fulfillment. Needs exist which can only be filled by the initiation of the persons who understand them best. Initiation, innovation, and diligent work are excellent tools to use in satisfying a need. One facet of learning in the college experience is developing the ability to clarify an expectation and then bringing it to a realistic level from which one can begin trying to achieve it. At William Carey College, we are given the chance to define our expectations and work to reach them. If we see a need— for social sclubs, for Christian alternatives, for better food— we are given the opportunity to organize and plan to correct the need. We are supported by the administration and faculty as innovators, and in this way we learn to have higher expectations for our futures beyond college. We learn that our dreams and visions can be reached. Great expectations— we all have them.

Students Excel in Socializing Great Fun After Hours Social Magnetism. Each Carey Student expects it. From registration to gradu- ation, all campus gatherings were an ex- cuse for socializing. Every student had his preference. Social club members played on or off campus. Under the aus- pices of these clubs, even young scholars cast aside their books long enough to discover mirth and members of the op- posite sex. Sports enthusiasts bussed the southeast in search of referees to bait and victories to cheer. Back on campus, students greeted the touring Beach - boys with whoops of recognition, flow- ery prints and sunscreened noses. For those who were more interested in smell- ing and tast ing than in seeing or being seen. Pizza parties and ice cream gather- ings were all consuming activities. When all other options were exhausted students took to the streets in pursuit of the winner ' s share in a S.G.A. road rally. Maps were confusing for some, but all made it back to campus safely. Student life at Carey was never the same, but it was never dull. And it always added up to great fun. 8 Student Life
