Ru l u)em cmM ity 1hff coaM be bfwhn Throwing a spit wad at Mr. Henry ' s forehead, sharpen- ing a pencil until there is no lead, sneaking in class when the tardy bell rings, these are a few of our favorite things. Julie Andrews ' favorite things may have included rain- drops on roses and whiskers on kittens, but if you asked some freshmen, they would say their favorites were chewing gum and throwing spit wads. Students often enjoyed themselves by chewing gum in class. This seems to be one rule teachers don ' t always follow, said Ted Hoffman. Some students felt that they could not live without chewing gum in class, claiming it was a necessity of stu- dent life. Julie Hill said, I always have to chew gum! Freshmen not only chewed gum in class, but they also ate, defying another sacred law: No eating on carpeted areas. There ' s no break between classes and I am so hungry that I just can ' t wait until lunch, so I eat in class, said Erin Alexander. The key to eating in class is not to get caught by the teacher no matter what sneaky trick this requires. I hide my food in my pocket, said Jill Ray. Other students used the common cough trick to inhale food, according to Aaron Brown. Some teachers even indulged with their students. Mr. Gipe will either take away your food or he ' ll mooch some off of you, said Lisa Shulga. One of the most amusing things about breaking rules is listening to the excuses. Among one of the most common broken rules is the infamous tardy rule, and along with it comes a stream of excuses for being late. There was a fight in the mall and I tried to stop it, said Kristen Berkos. So no matter what the teachers, faculty, and administra- tion do to enforce the rules , there will always be some who blatantly or unknowingly break them for fun. So while Julie Andrews delights in brown paper packages tied up with string, freshmen obviously look elsewhere for entertainment by breaking the rules.
