She spent a lot of time dating and was surprised to find that " after three or four dates, many boys here at the University take sex for granted. " As a pledge, Shirley felt she had found a lot of new friends with similar interests. " " There were times my first semester when I just wanted to leave for good, but I always found a friend at the dorm or at the sorority who gave me a reason to stay. Shirley ' s favorite place to " leave all the pres- sures behind " was Lake Travis, where she often went alone to " do nothing. Shirley needed " respect for my privacy " so weekend open house was sufficient. " She was happy with Kinsolving, her dormitory, but admitted she disliked the occasional noise and starchy foods. Shirley believed it best for the freshman to room with " someone you know and who has similar interests, but not a close friend. " The preregistration advisors also helped Shirley change her major from child development to elementary education. " Shirley added, however, that " everyone was eager to help me, especially at orientation. " Classes were my first priority, but when it came to grades, it was difficult at first to under- stand what was expected of you. 28 Shirley Campbell, Freshman In reviewing her first year at UT, Shirley Campbell found that budgeting her time was one of the first tasks she faced in adjusting to the freedoms and responsibilities of college life.

Your performance depends on how well you play your role. The staff and I have attempted to capture as many UT student roles as possible in print and picture, while at the same time covering the events of the year. Regardless, the 1973 CACTUS is intended to review the 1972-73 year from the perspective of producer, not critic. The role may be that of the leading character or the supporting cast. Though many have common groups or interests, each has a goal to attain while at the University of Texas a role to play to achieve that goal.
