College life is strange Even with a school such as Indiana State where the enrollment is around 12,500, you' re doing pretty good to recognize maybe a thousand faces in the four or five years it takes to finish your de- gree. You may meet a few hundred of these people personally. That means there are more than ten thousand people at ISU whose faces youill never even see. Until the first sunny day in April brings every one of them to the Quad. Where do all these people suddenly come from? Do the Dorms become massive bee- hives on March 21, producing large numbers of worker to search for honey? Do the com- munists ship them over to disrupt the Ameri- can way of life? Well, probably not. IT'S SPRING! Spring means warm weather. Warm weather means bright sunny days. Bright sunny days mean flowers. Flowers mean . . . umm . . . well, they must means something. The meaning isn't important. But what happens to the 12,500 students at Indiana State is. 24 Student life Lar A day on The Quad Wells Larry Wells u

Traffic tickets We are all taught as children, that policemen are our friends, and we should not be afriad of them. That information does not stand when you bring a car to lSU. Safety and Security should be synonymous. How many times have you gone out to your car only to be confronted by Safety and Security tpinkl hate-mail attached to your front windshield via the wiperblades. Welcome to ISU; this is a parking ticket. The Safety and Security office issues around 200 tickets a day. Most students pay them within the three days to keep the fee at $3.00. But after 72 hours, that fee goes up to $5.00. Most of the tickets issued go to students because they have no decal or they improperly parked their vehicle. ISUPD farmed out some of the ticket writing work this year, hiring students to do their dirty work. It has helped ticket rates go way up. Why do students park in improper places tie. faculty lotst? Students complain that there is a lack of parking spaces. in the eyes of safety and security, there are plenty of spaces, they are just not as convienently located as the students would like them to be. But the lSU code of student conduct begs to differ. The code states quite plainly that there is a lack of parking spaces, so why not just decide for yourself. Beware of the nasty little pink slips, so you don't become one of the statistics! Brian Wesle y b By Marty Reed Brian Wesley Brian Wesle y Traffic tickets 23

That warm Spring sun seems to drive peo- ple to The Quad in unbelievable numbers. Suddenly the urge for everyone is not to graduate, but to make an appearance, work on or show off that tan. There is something special about sitting under a tree and studying for an exam. You don't learn more or study better. In fact, with the way the bugs bite and the sun puts you to sleep, you maybe learn less. But heck, who cares? After seven months of listening to Kevin Orpurt tell you the weather is going to be better tomorrow, when you know damn well it isn't, are you going to let a little thing like your education stand in the way of a bright sunny day? You should, but you probably wont. Besides, the grass looks so inviting . . . By Robert L. Flott e Larry Wells at .
