Technology. For those of you that can't
even program your VCR's, you'd better 1
catch up quickly. This past summer the
Community College Network's interac-
tive video cameras and monitors were
set up in Southwest's library media
room as a link to other community and
junior colleges across the state. Its main
priority right now is to provide master's
degree training for nurses by linking
sites with the University Medical Cen-
ter in Jackson, but soon, it will allow a
wider range of services.
Traditions. Last summer, Charlie the
Bear,S outhwest's live mascot for the past
22 years, died of natural causes. The
board of trustees voted not to purchase
another bear, so the Student Govern-
ment Association decided to raise mon-
ey to purchase a mascot costume to be
used at school functions in support of
the Bears.
Landscaping. Sophomores noticed per-
haps more than the Freshmen the abun-
dance of new greenery on campus.
Southwest's campus was already one of
the most beautiful campuses in the state
with its own Bear Lake complete with
swimming ducks and pine trees shading
the buildings, but over $45,000 was
spent this past summer and fall semester
on new shrubs, trees, and flowers.
2/ Opening
Joe Juiteau's class of rotary drillers practiced
their skills by drilling several new water
wells on campus.
Hoes and shovels were common sights as
sites were prepared for new trees and
shrubs.
Tailgating is not against the law, so Chris
Short, Tony Campanile, and Russell Cruise
used a truck bed for a rest between classes.
Opening /3
Discussing weekend plans, Beau Mounger and Banion Boyd paused for a chat on tl
grounds outside the Humanities Buildin
Cellular phones made it easy for students to
keep in touch with family and friends. Rex
Guzzardo made a call between classes.
Study partners Adrienne Davis and Katie Foret
used the Science Building hallway for review-
ing their notes.

an upcoming test. Students become
responsible for making major deci-
sions. Should I go out with my
friends to a party, or stay home to
study for a big algebra test the next
morning, or study all afternoon
and still be able to go out with my
friends? It takes discipline, but ev-
ery funloving, successful student

Routines. OK, the counselor told
you that you now have a full
schedule of classes, but what is this
MWF and TTH? You soon learn
that everyday is a different sched-
ule. So you memorize which classes
you have on which days and in
which building, but when you
wake up the next morning with
just enough time to get ready for
your first class, you find that your
suite:mates have already taken over
the showers. Welcome to the land
of chaos. There is no typical rou-
tine for a college student.
As the year progressed, we watched-
as the school broke new ground by
adding new technology, changing
some traditions, altering its appear-
ance, and introducing another
group of freshmen to college life.
