The Bostonian Transition Students come to Boston from all over the nation. Their first impression is So this is Boston. Big fat hairy deal. The freshman from New York will raise his eyebrows in scorn while scoping out the skyline with its lonely Pru and j. Han- cock towers. He will think to himself how NY, NY could do better even on the Lower West Side. The inhabitant of Los Angeles will get off the plane and immediately hold his breath because he is suspicious about breathing air he can ' t see. Conversely, the farmboy from a western ranch that is the size of Rhode Island will stand in amazement staring up at the sl yscrapers and ask. How they git them thangs so tall? Then, of course, those from certain parts of jersey will shamefaced- ly hide their dioxin detectors in their footlockers and only take them out to check their sleep- ing roommates for contamina- tion. Whomever the person is and no matter what part of the country he comes from, after one semester he is more of a Bostonian than he could know. He she can ask for a tonic when they want a soda. The student can hop the T to Aku-Aku in order to get blown-away scor- pion bowling without fear of being stung to death. And he she can use Mom and Dad ' s credit card as a divining rod to find the fastest way to Filene ' s Basement. After four four years of sight-seeing, shopping, din- ing, dancing, museum-going, researching and just partying, the kid from anyplace west will be a genuine Bostonian. During a student ' s four years at BC little more than the desire to ' do ' Boston, a guide book. and a pocketful of change for the T can turn him into a New England sophisticate. Easy ac- cess to Boston, albeit slow at times, allows a BC undergrad to supplement his education with day visits to the Hub of the universe around which all things revolve. There is not a student or major on campus who cannot benefit from the immense resources the city has to offer. There are two ways for the freshman and future Bostonian to view the city. The first is that he can expand his mind by studying the history, museums, art galleries and libraries. Bos- ton can become a living labora- tory full of information and in- ternships with librarians and assistants waiting in their dusty offices for an industrious stu- dent to come by. This is an op- portunity not often pursued though it is always rewarding. The other way the new stu dent can attack the city is to tr to forget everything he ha learned and blow his mine away. Along this more travellec path there is inexhaustable en tertainment in the form of danc ing as diverse as swing, disco and even square dancing. Then is a wide range of food style: offered from the Italian cuisin( of the North End to the deli cious and fresh seafood of the Harbor. There are restaurant: that serve anything from Arabi to Cuban foods and any variet in between. For the shoppe there is antiquing along the Charles St. windows. There i; the Coop in Cambridge, there are the bull market carts o Quincy Market, and there is al ways Filene ' s Basement. What ever a person ' s interest is in the city, Boston leaves an indelible 18 BOSTON
