A CLASS ACT.

Page 110 text:

Classes can be as exciting as Christmas or as boring as stuff- ing envelopes. Yet every class has the potential to be thrilling as long as the correct mixture of students is present. When you enter the classroom grab a seat tovi ards the back. This enables you the opportunity to scrutinize everyone without them examining you. If you arrive a few minutes early you ' ll probably see the freshmen who show up ten minutes before class, carrying every book they own. Entering a few minutes later, the intellectuals take the front row seats to see the board better and to win brownie points with the prof. Approximately three minutes before class begins the average American students saunter in. They usually carry one notebook that looks like it barely survived the war and a Bic pen with a chewed cap. Nonchalantly these students take seats in the mid- dle of the room and by the windows. The prof now enters and the lecture starts. About ten minutes into the class a few suspicious looking guys stroll in. They may have a few pieces of loose leaf paper, but they have to borrow a pen from the intellectuals, who carry a whole pack of silver cross pens. These shady characters are usually jocks or druggies. The prof continues to teach his lesson. You can listen, but the sights going on with your peers is much m ore interesting. Well, that ' s another story. Tina Reuter llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Everyone, I repeat, everyone loves food. Whether you are a chocolate addict, a pizza freak, or a hamburger junkie, you know the meaning of the term pig-out . Lunch time is one of the prime times to gorge yourself w ith gooey pies, overstuffed hoagies, and piles of mint chocolate chip ice cream. Okay, you ' re out of luck if you eat in the cafe. Rather than the above mentioned treats, you can dine on stale cake, raw meatloaf, and plain vanilla ice cream. Yuck! But off-campus dwellers are not much more fortunate. After paying out the, uh, ear for an apartment, you can only afford peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, apricot jello, and Archway cookies. Well, you have to treat yourself right once in a while! While eating this delectable meal, your indigestion shouldn ' t bother you. After all, the sights in the cafe can be pretty deli- cious, too. I ' ve seen friends leave whole meals untouched simply because their campus crush was sitting in the same cafe. It didn ' t matter that the object of lust was on the opposite side of the room. Off-campus students have a tougher time scoping, unless you live in the same building I do-one apartment of fe- males, and three of guys. Odds aren ' t too skimpy. However, since you aren ' t one of my roommates, you can always hang out on a bench near the library. The only setback is that the vented seats get a bit drafty during January and February. But if it means a chance to catch a glimpse of your campus crush, more power to you. After satisfying your stomach and eyes, it ' s time to go to class. Well, to every fairy tale there is an ending and this is it. Tina Reuter
