Specialty Floors: Shared Interests For those students who have special in- terests and want to live in an atmosphere supporting these interests, several spe- cialty floors have been established in the dorms. The Communications Floor, fourth floor Anderson South, was founded in order to provide an opportunity for communica- tions majors to live together, study, and converse in an atmosphere geared toward developing their journalistic talents and broadening their sense of the communica- tions field. The floor leadership attempts to arrange for persons in the communications field to speak to the floor members, and it has or- ganized tours of newspapers ' offices and radio stations to help its members become acquainted with and ask questions con- cerning their major. The French Spanish Floor, located on seventh floor Hughes, was created origi- nally as a floor for French majors or for those interested in French culture. How- ever, the floor has recently been opened to students interested in Spanish culture. Through floor events such as a French dinner, a Spanish dinner, French and Span- ish films, floor trips to dinner theaters, speakers and a wine and cheese party for the French and Spanish faculty, the stu- dents share a broadened knowledge of and appreciation for French and Spanish cul- ture. A floor for freshpersons only, the Living Learning Center, South Terrace of Ander- son, is dedicated to promoting together- ness. The students living on this floor take two classes together in the Living Learning Center itself, and they attend their other classes in the normal classroom atmos- phere. The International Floor, located on sixth floor Letts, was created to promote the in- terest of students involved in international affairs. Foreign students and SIS majors live on the floor and take part in such floor activities as an international brunch, an international dinner and an international dance. But the strongest force contributing to the students ' awareness of international affairs is the atmosphere of the specialty floor itself. Lynny Bentley

I pulled off to the side of the road. Macke — that name rang a bell. I know it from somewhere. But where? Ah. yes, Macke was that food service at American back in my college days. Now they have restaurants everywhere. Why did we pull over? ' asked my son Jerry. Oh, nothing, nothing, just some pas- sing thoughts, I answered. Tell me. Daddy, please tell me. Daddy. Are you thinking about Macke again? I had to admit I was. Yes, son, I am. but please don ' t tell, I said. Don ' t worry about it. Dad. my care- free son replied. But do tell me, his voice got softer, What was Macke really like? Well, son, I ' ll tell you. Daddy, did you like it? There was no need to think about that question — or answer it verbally, for that matter. But Daddy, if you didn ' t like it, why are you still alive? I don ' t know. I guess I ' m just one of the lucky ones, I replied, and my mind was filled with images of myself and some friends seated ' round the square table feasting on the salad for weeks in a row, joking and laughing and picking the browned pieces out.
