A %b ' W Patching It Up Oh my God . . . already? asked Sr. Dee Martin when it hit her that she was em- barking on the final year of her college career. Meantime, new arrivals of freshmen had already displaced the old relics of continuity as the recent graduates marched toward the glare of the real world that we spent four years avoiding. Preparing for the shock, many up- perclassmen lived off-campus. It ' s sort of a trial run for living on my own next year, explained Sr. Linda Burge, 1 guess it ' s my transition stage. The continuity of college life lay like shattered glass before them. Freshmen were also in a transition phase: Fr. Rob Seims admitted that this was really the first time he was faced to do things on his own. Experiencing a scattering of continuity too, they saw themselves slide from seniors to the lowest rung of the ladder. The intellectual stimula- tion was refreshing, as Fr. Steve Sloan said, There ' s even more things to do now instead of homework! Another reward of college was being able to come home smashed from a vodka party or the one hundred club without worrying about what parents would say. Freshmen patched the gaping holes of the recent graduates clumsily as the old faces began to fade. It was all part of the scattering continuity . . . At C.C., bikes are man ' s best friend, and Pete has taught his to defy the forces of gravity. Is he a sweet transvestite for Rocky Horror, or is this an effect of SAGA food? Opening

Filling Cavities Phi Delta house, 7:30 am, Saturday morning (drilling): the campus was flood- ed again with construction workers and their accompanying noise. About this rash of construction going on around this rather small and frail campus, I think it ' s fine, but to the noises I hear at 7:30 am, I say ' Thank you very little! ' said the elo- quent Soph. Shawn Holt. Construction of the new science building and the Woerner Center included noise, inconvenient fences, and disruption of the campus rainbow of continuity. What is going on in this school? ex- claimed Soph. Kendall Kavanaugh. There were so many construction workers dispersed on campus that the only way to tell who were students was by who got paid and who paid. Not only did the cam- pus look like a construction site equipped with all the essential machinery and man- r ' f ii I-. ► 1 m i power, but also the campus was divided by fences that seemed to block the easiest route to class. These forbidden zones stretched around Olin and Palmer, stealing half the frat quad and fencing the guys in Arthur house off-campus. On those cold morn- ings blinding snow, it was hard not to run into one of those bothersome fences: We really need a road map, suggested Soph. Scott Gorthy. Angry rumors spread through campus of investing in wire cutters and cam- paigning against chopping down trees. Soph. Roberta Spivak said, They should plant a tree for every one cut down. I mean, there ' s only — what? — 10,000 trees as it is. Reconstruction of Rastall was worse than chaos. Hackey sack takes talent, patience, and when in the mountains, concentration. Not many people are brave enough to attempt the art of flying, but Brian Storey is ready to try as he gets some final pointers from an instructor before his first hang gliding adventure.
