The commuter students of Spelman College are the saddest, most pathetic creatures on earth. They roam from the Lower Concourse of Manley Center to the dorms around campus in search of a place to temporarily call home. Once this temporary shelter is found, they are grateful and the appreciation that they feel is apparent in their actions. Student Life But things arenit always this traumatic. At times the commuter student is normal and well adjusted. These brie:C periods occur when the commuter student is in her own habitat, her apartment. They no longer worry about the overcrowded bathrooms, the leng- awaited pay phones, the the uncontrollable noise at the other end of the hall. These happy-go- lucky students enjoy the serenity of spacious apartments, the city scenes and air from the patios, and the responsibility of choosing and maintaining their living conditions and guests. The commuter student is a Spelmanite who earns her degree of living and coping everyday.
