Easy Go fit Hg fit? iffff i ist? IE E f E ' 1 2? :2':1 'i 1': DODGE AVENUE BEACH Open Policy by Beth Negronida Although most people know that we have an open campus, there has been a lot of confusion over the concept itself. ln the simplest terms possible, open campus is the opposite of closed campus. I Now that that has been cleared up, we come to the question of whether people take advantage of open campus. The answer is an unqualified yes , with most people who do leave school doing so to go out to lunch. Senior Lisa Seiff goes out to lunch almost everyday. She usually goes to McDonald's, l-lerm's, or Gigio's. I go, Lisa said, because l don't like the cafeteria or the senior lounge. Sophomore Paul Mann leaves school to go to lunch also. Paul, who goes about once every two weeks, leaves because l don't bring a lunch to school, and I end up eating Doritos, a Suzy-Q, and a fruit punch every day - McDonald's is an improvement over that. Although it is difficult to leave school and go out to lunch in the regular 30 minute lunch period, many students have a free period adiacent to their lunch period which makes things easier. Senior Joe Shrawder, who has lunch and then a free period, said that that provides enough time for him to go downtown to play video games, eat lunch, or buy records. Even though most people questioned thought that open campus is a good idea, many of them didn't think that it mattered very much whether it is open or closed. I don't see any difference. l left school sophomore year when there wasn't any open campus, said senior Julie Allen, Open campus doesn't really make a difference. Senior Lance Grossman feels that open campus is just a matter of convenience. ln previous years in order to leave school, you would haveto go out certain exits that were usually out 'ot your way, according to Lance. But that never deterred me from leaving, he added, lf lvneeded to leave, l left. ' Several students thought that not' having open campus would be senseless because by the time people get to high school they should have the responsibility of deciding for them- selves whether or not to leave school. Senior Lane Albanese said, By the time a person is 16 or 17, he or she shouldn't be kept in the school like aekindergartnerf' Sophomores seem to like the open campus policy better than anyone else. lt's a hell' of a lot better than being locked up in the freshmen school, said sophomore Peter Farbman. . Whether spring fever attacks from romance, nature, fatigue, sun, sports, or slump, few escape it -- and few want to escape it. lt spreads fast catch itl Easy Come, Easy Go 15
