D Dorm Life Adjustment to dorm life may be difficult for some. Students must, for the first time in their lives, share a room with another human being (in some cases). It turns out that the room is half the size of their room at home. They also must adjust to other residents on their floor. Some of them don ' t agree that sleep is a human necessity. Loud music and blaring t.v. ' s provide ample dis- tractions to someone trying to rest. Dorm life does have its good points. It gives rise to a highly competitive form of society through water battles and soft ball games. Perhaps its best attraction though, (if you ' re a guy) is the girl sunbathers in front of Beard and Penn. Drama There are no professional actors, but there are many talented students. As the house lights dim and the curtain opens, the audience sees the fin- ished product of many long hours of work. In front of the stage, the crowd sees only momen- tary stumbles of a performer ' s lapse, and the plays, always excellent, flash by. Rarely, unless a student is a drama critic, does a slip attract any notice. Then, suddenly, it ' s over and everyone ' s tired. The sets are struck, the makeup comes off for the last time, and the house lights dim again . . . this time for the cast party. E Exams Everyone understands the pressure equated with an exam. Students cram while eating, while walking to class and even while the prof, is handing out the test. It is the time for big lies: the lie to yourself that you know it all for the math test, the lies to the prof, on the English test. When it ' s all over, very few wonder whether it was all worth it. Why are tests all scheduled on the same day anyways.-

FM Radio The college radio station, WVYC FM-88, is located on the third floor of the Life Sciences Building. Recently starting its second semester on the air, the station provides training for per- sons interested in radio broadcasting while at the same time serving the students and community. WVYC promotes Senate activities as well as activities of other college organizations. The sta- tion features classical, jazz, and popular music and includes educational programming with total broadcasting time equalling approximately 65 hours a week. Frat Yes, you too can dress like Julius Caesar, carry a brick, and be a lifeguard at the fountain — all in the same day! Today ' s frat wants you! A fra- ternity will teach you humility, pride, and a lot of patience. Comradeship is very big in fraterni- ties, and why not? When you live with thirty other guys, all of whom have seen you day in and day out, you either love em or hate ' em — or a little of both. G Green Green is perhaps the most prominent color on campus. A green rock, a green Horizon . . . Green serves as one half of the school color scheme. Uniforms worn by cheerleaders, basket- ball players, the volleyball team, and so on, are green. Green is in — wear your beanie with pride! Greenhouse The greenhouse is located on the second floor of the Life Science Building. LInder the Tender Loving Care of Bruce Fortman, endless varieties of geraniums, lettuce, tomatoes, and green plants seem to flourish. After twc:) or three weeks of unending snowfall, the brightness of the green- house is a welcome change!
