The Greenbagger: This is a rough one. With Commonssitters there is no middle ground. You either are or you aren ' t. Not so with the Greenbaggers. There are Pseudogreenbaggers and actual Undercover com- monsitters. The green book bag is not the dis- tinguishing characteristic, although it is of some use as a clue for sorting the subspecies. The Hardcoregreenbagger carries his her books (and PEACE buttons) in an Army surplus gas mask bag. The Pseudogreenbagger carries his her Hegel and Kant ( and perhaps a Chopin score ) in his Lincoln green bag obtained from the Bookstore for $1.50. The Undercommonssitter doesn ' t carry a bag at all. But he she still has the look: An Air Force ROTC raincoat worn over a madras sport coat, a silk shirt, and 0.sh- kosh ( B ' gosh ) blue jeans. A lot of limp hair. Being hirsute is the hallmark of all three. Fe- males may have hair that hangs straight to the waist. Males may have either a Beatle cut or the more classconscious ducktails and long side- burns. Either sex mav have a mustache. f.

Those 23,600 students! Twenty-three thousand completely individual personalities! Who can be easily sorted into a small handful of sharply defined categories. The Commonssitter: Hi Ralph. ( Ugh. ) Sit down, both of you. Bob Winner? Pleased to meet you. Bob. ( Ringading- ding. ) I ' m Nancy Forbish. (Where did he get those big blue eyes?) This is Shiela. And Patti. .And Joanne. ( Thank goodness I ' m the best look- ing. ) Weren ' t you in my French class last semes- ter? ( Second row, fourth seat, missed 13 classes, got a B, wore the NEATEST clothes.) Me? I live in Fo.ster. ( Ooo, I hope, I hope . . . ) Got to go to class, huh? Well nice to meet you. Bye, Bob. ( I hope he calls me ... I hope he calls me. ) Bve, Ralph. (Ugh.) ' Bob didn ' t. Ralph did. Commonssitting is the Independent ' s answer to being Greek. Being Greek is an answer to a much larger problem.

The Greek: There is never any trouble identifying a fra- ternity m an. He is either neatly dressed in the height of the latest fashion, or he is gnihby be- yond belief. He is poised and charming. Or he is gross to the point of inviting nausea. Sorority girls are all tall and slender, and either blonde and beautiful or brunette and beautiful, it savs here. There is no truth to the story that vou can tell a Pi Phi from a Kappa by the color of her hair, but there are certain char- acteristics by which vou can distinguish both from Sigma Nu ' s most of the time. 16
