HOMECOMING

Oh—I'm tired what I need is . . . a cool, dark cavern to descend into until next year. Yes indeed, that would be nice-but I can't. You would think that after all the craftsman- ship I put into that North Wall, I'd at least earned some solitude and rest. North Wall - you should see it! First I had to build the wood- en frame-No, no, first I had to appropriate the wood, then build the wooden frame. Chicken wire, next; Child's Play! Papier-mache takes skill. The finer points of how many layers of paper, the consistency of the glue. Ah, but the time it took. I can't remember the last time I was in English. How can I ever read all my History? And those calculus assignments. I can't possibly do all of this work in 28 years; how can they expect it done by Monday morn- ing? I sure hope those exes are enjoying my craftsmanship. HOMECOMING

 What do you think of the college now? I like the students here much better than what I see at a lot of other campuses. The dress code has been the thing that's changed the most. I would have preferred it the other way a little bit, but then we must accept what is. I doubt that it has too much ef- fect on the college's image. Oh, it might affect certain people, but we've got to realize that people change. Chapel singing doesn't sound like it did in Sewell Auditorium. When we were here, we'd raise the roof off there, but that was on account of the size of the place. Physical facilities are much better, but I like the attitude of the students. I think its people more than buildings that make the college. People are different now, students are differ- ent. I think the attitudes are correct. One thing hasn't changed, that's the wind. I just wish the new buildings had been here when we were here. I'm real jealous 'cause we didn't have the good facilities which you all I think the changes are good.
