Craig Holman Just a typical day here in Athens With this knowledge secure, and Post in hand, you head on to lunch. Most dorm people will wait in for- malized lines to be served boiled hamburgers, or a varie- ty of other treats Those on the New South Green will be sophisticated and scramble once inside the cafeteria People in outside housing usually improvise With the mid-day meal behind, there is no turning back. Your blood starts to circulate, and the rigors of walking flights of stairs or trying to manipulate the elevator have taken effect: you are wide awake and there ' s nothing you can do about it The afternoon continues; due to scheduling, some will have to repeat the morning climb to afternoon classes, others out of class pass the time by waiting. Some will go to the bank to wait in line, preferably behind somebody with 200 penny rolls, while others will go to Hudson Health Center and wait in the lobby for their names to be called And yes. there ' s many other possibilities The three weeks ' worth of laundry that has piled up unbelievably beckons some. Chubb Hall is another possibility, and a few will go to the war monument to discuss the philosophical meanings of life. Of course, one could always use the afternoon to study, or better yet some just take advantage of the time for a nice peaceful afternoon nap. As the sun sets over Athenia. the student body migrates back to its various cubby holes about town. The stomach calls again Evening has arrived A student uses her afternoon to do laundry as she heads down Court Street to the Warsh Tub . Just a typical day here in Athens 13

Just a typical day here in Athens With the arrival of evening, dormies will retrace their steps to the cafeteria, fingers crossed, with the sweet fragrance of Bohemian steak lingering in the distance. Elsewhere, outsiders will pay for their independence by suffering the slings and arrows of Hamburger Helper ala Chile Con Carne. At dusk on the corner of Court and Union, a tall, skin- ny guy that looks like a scarecrow is packing up his fruit concession in order to make way for an infamous character known only as Louie the Bagel Man. Night- time has arrived. In the evening hours many students will pass through the revolving doors of Alden Library, The Great Temple of Learning, to do battle with the card catalogue and textbooks. When not booking, the uptown shuffle is a nightime option. Clientel can choose between several different types of bars; there are conscious social out- lets such as the Union or Frontier Room, and there ' s always the CI or the Phase when a good, irresponsible drunk is needed to soothe those midterm blues. Deck Lounge or McGoos are convenient for those who require a more refined atmosphere, and there ' s always Baker Center, where just about anything can come off. Wherever a student roams, hunger is usually a step behind. Whether it be uptown or during those all- nighters, Athenians will always engage in the ancient ritual of ordering a pizza from Dominos. The Maxwell House will flow until the wee hours of the morning, until the words begin to make no sense. The eyes start to flutter and the bedroom will call again. New South Green residents return to the serving line for seconds of ham and potatoes. 14 Just a typical day here in Athens
