s - . iis»?4 » ' li«« « es8W ' ' ' ' ' ■■■• ' ■ COMMUTERS Everyday, all manner of transport brings in a steady flow of students to our campus: SEPTA buses and trains, cars and motorcycles, bikes and hikes. We call it commuting and over 49% of our students do it. If SEPTA schedules go awry, the students ' programs go the same way. If all the parking places are full, and they often are, the students are bound to be late for an important lecture or even an exam. To commuters, a great deal of their future rides on those wheels. In this overcrowded town, all too few can find or pay for housing near enough to walk to campus. Once here, aside from classes, the open spaces of their schedules must be filled. They have only a few alternatives: snacking at Laurence Center, studying in the library, relaxing at the College Union, or going to a club meeting. To do this and successfully pursue a college education requires the development of a special kind of self-discipline — but self- discipline is really what it ' s all about — so commuters must adapt to the required regime as soon as possible and continue to grow for as long as they are here. We salute them, every one. 17 commuters

I can ' t believe the difference in this campus since my freshman year. On the ruins of Old Main stands a New Main. A wing of the library now blocks the dirt path I once took to the Learning and Research Center, and all the college-owned houses on Rosedale have fallen for the College Union. Can a graduate ever return to the same college? different • 19
