UW r L :IE I WK? .s ,J Q. Skiing A has Jean- Claude Killy. Skating has Dorothy Hamill. Sledding has no one. Who knows who won the Olympic bob- sledding event? Sledding is the under- dog of winter sports. What it needs is a new image, a folk hero to bring it respec- tability and style. Sledding needs me. I would show the world that there is more to sledding than just the kids in snowpants, mit- ten clips, and stocking caps. A movie could be made: Downhill SIedder, and in the starring role I would sled across north- ern Wisconsin. At the top of every hill, my practiced eye searches out ice, bumps, and small children. Lying .down, l'm ready to go. l'm anxious to try a new hill, to feel the wind and snow whip up in my face, f to go faster and faster until the world is a white blur shooting up at me and the voices of onlookers rush in and out of my head. Even the dangers of hitting a patch of unforseen ice, or falling off and rolling downhill do not deter me. Later, like the battle- weary Vikings returning from freezing exploits, my cohorts and I gather around a fire to remove innumerable layers of wel clothingg we feast up on hot chocolate with mini marshmallows. And just before the fire goes out, and the last of the daring Flexible Flyer tales are told, and ,everyone is warm and sore, and tired and happy, someone lifts his mug and proposes a toast to the winner of the Olym- pic bob-sledding event. tr V4 ,F 1515 r ,,f sv .

Ma, I've got afever. . .astomachache . . .a headache. . .acold sore. . .would you believe a runny nose? Everyone is familiar with the various forms in which the illness manifests itselfg there is the 24 - hours - to - write - a - paper syndrome, the Oh - my - God! - I've - got - a - biology -final - tomor- row, and the favorite of all, the I - think - I'II - stay - home - and - watch - every - game - show - and - soap - opera - instead - of - sitting - in - class - today. When the disease oc- curs as often as once a week, it is deemed chron- ic or terminal and is usually associated with the word truant. Of course, the chronic patient ration- alizes that he cannot live without his soaps or his game shows, but then again, try explaining that to a doctor or even worse, to a teacher. From the teacher's standpoint, the best cure for this dreaded illness is what's known in the medical field as the breakfast club, at which the recuperating student is fed a hearty and well- balanced diet of admoni- tions and solemn stares. If the student weathers this treatment, an often drawn- out procedure that length- ens as the disease pro- gresses, he may then re- turn to class without fear of infecting others. Home- sick is, however, here to stay, and heaven help any doctor or teacher who searches tor a cure. STUDENT LIFEXQ5
