□ Left Foot Green, Right Hand Blue. The campus offers many activities that allow the students to get involved in the college. The R.A.s put on the program of Twister and offered many prizes including CD's and a stereo.

□ This is the college for me! Dur­ ing the senior preview day prospective new D.S.U. students had the chance look over their schedules. Preview days give these high school seniors a peek into how fun life around the □ D .S .U /s new est rock star. campus can be.

Some students around campus, like J.R. Wilson, prefer to play their air gituars and get involved in the entertaining insted of realxing and being entertained.

□ Native American Arts. The Native American group brought a variety of different arts from the culture to the campus. Students enjoyed learning from the dances and performances given in Dorothy Stickney Auditorium.

□ Friends through thick and thin.

One of the best things about living in the Residence Halls is that there is always someone to talk to. Tammy Schlabach, Wendy Brown, and Staci Cayko bond in a room under a pile of shredded paper.

□ Cueing up. One popular way that some of the campus residents like to relax is over a game of pool.

A variety of other entertainment options are also avalible for the residents of DeLong, Selke, and Woods Halls.__________________ □ My Roommate, M y Friend. When students arrive on campus, some are worried about living with a roommate.

Many come to enjoy having a friend that is always there and someone they can chat with late at night. Laura Coplen and Amber Pfiiger are two great friends, and roomates.

□ Still sm iling after the performance. One way of meeting new people and making new friends is by joining one of the many clubs that the campus has to offer. Raimee Haber and Amber Polk found fun by joining the D.S.U. cheerleading squad.

□ One of the many im­ provements on the D.S.U. campus is the renovation of Klinefelter Hall.

Groundbreaking took place on August 26,1996 and renovation will be finished on the building by the fall of 1997. D.S.U. President Philip Conn and the President of the State Board of Higher Education, Patricia Hill, joined the ground-break­ ing crew in working on Klinefelter.

Well, after a v ery long year, Fred a n d I can finally say th at o u r 1996-97 yearbook experience is over. There are so m an y people th at gave u s m ore help th an w e could have ever asked for, and w e w o u ld like you all to k n o w h o w m u ch w e appreciate all of y o u r generosity an d time.

First of all, w e w o u ld like to th an k the staff th at help ed us p u t this book together: Judy Bauer, C arlos Beccera, B arbara Bolton, Rebecca Lacaillade, N an cy Lilly, Rob Lynam , and M andy M essmer.

A nd, of course, w e could nev er forget H al H aynes, o u r ever-trusting, an d extrodinarily p atien t adviser.

M arty Sabolo, for h elping m e identify the all of the nam eless faces I've com e across this year. T hanks for y o u r vast a m o u n t of know ledge, a n d the friendship.

Sandi Bates, than k s so m u ch for hav in g a h uge a rray of p hotos-old and new. You have been m y lifesaver m ore th an once this year.

Ryan M cGaughey, y o u r pictures w ere w on d erfu l, an d u su ally rig h t in tim e for m e to steal!

Also, the new s releases y o u p u t together have been a great source of inform ationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;d o n 't be shocked to see them th ro u g h o u t this book. . .

Robbie H ertz, I am done. T hanks for alw ays hav in g a sm ile an d a great sense of h u m o r to help keep m e going.

D avid Schlosser, h o w can I ever th a n k you for poin tin g out all of the m istakes I have ever m ade?

W illy M axw ell, for letting m e keep the good chair d u rin g m y long h o u rs at the com puter. I'll bet y o u th o u g h t I w o u ld never be ou t of y o u r office!

All of the advisers a n d m em bers of the D.S.U. clubs an d organizations, than k s so m u ch for sharing w h at you k n o w w ith me. The inform ation y o u gave for this book very m uch appreci­ ated.

Everyone w h o h elp ed m e identify the u n k n o w n people in the m u g shots w hile I w as w o rk ­ ing the W oods H all desk, an d all the p eople in the cafeteria, etc. w h o sacrificed their eyes for the football picture.

A lth o u g h this has been one of the biggest projects I've ever taken on, it has also been one of the m ost enjoyable. I've learned m ore from sitting in front of the co m p u ter for ho u rs alone th an I ever co u ld 'v e im agined.

We h o p e th at this is a book th at the entire school can enjoy and take p rid e in!!

S haun an d Fred (the co-editors)
