Upon unloading one ' s child into the hands of higher educa- tors at that great limestone institution in Manhattan, some parents think the child and world ' s problems will be solved in four short years. However, not all professors convey worldly answers, and not all students possess worldly aspi- rations. Susceptible contract ' it depends ' but the prepared have immunity By David Chartrand I know I must sound ungrateful, but college is not for everyone. Four years ago I would never have dreamed that my parting note would be anything but niceties. But that was then. Now, I have to speak the truth and make it stick. Of course, college was good to me. Mostly, it was certain people who were good to me: Jeff, Merek, Joe, Alan, Brenda, Jean, Bill, Leanne, Len, Cathy, Gail . . . and more. But I ' d rather shoot myself than let that be my last word. I mean soon I ' ll be tossing my dirty clothes into the old Barracuda for the last time and I ' ll be damned if all I ' m going to say is, Oh gee, it was so beautiful. I have so many memories. You bet I have memories. I have one big memory too: the University organ- ism has a very bad cancer. In fact, four years of the college experience exposed such a serious and spreading cancer that my conclu- sion is this: college is not for everyone. What cancer? It is the corroding spread of an atti- tude called It depends. So many college freshmen enter the University walls like they had arrived at the end of the rainbow. Everything to be desired, learned, or felt is going to be found somewhere in these hal- lowed halls. The ultimate experience is college. All that is truth and reason is at col- lege. All the answers are at college. And then the big shocker. One is immediately told by everyone with a degree by his name that there are no answers. There are no truths. There are no absolutes. Everything simply depends. There is no way to tell with words the significance and impact this dis- covery has on the four-year experi- ence. Up through high school, the only serious conflicts were dealing with Mom and Dad ' s do ' s and don ' ts or handling that first love affair. But this. This new discovery makes it a whole new ball game. 20 — it amends
