Most instructors continue to hold classes even when the whole class is composed of commuters, and less than half the class is in attendance. There is also the problem of finding something to do during free time. There are really only two choices: go to the student center, which is always crowded; or to the library, where the temperature is usually unbearably hot. Although there are a number of problems, I have enjoyed attending Austin Peay as a commuter. While most people would consider my 40- mile drive a terrible fate, for me it is the most peaceful time of the day. l have a beautiful drive, and although it is time consuming, I can use this time to re- flect on the day's happenings, or think about things that are bothering me. I have also been fortunate to have a husband who understands the impor- tance of education in my life. My par- ents have supported and encouraged my decisions, and my parents-in-law have been helpful and understanding.

Opposite Bottom - Since commuters don't have dorm rooms to flop down in and study. they frequent the library to catch a few hours study between the drives to and from school. Left - According to Marissa, a married commuter has to get as much studying as possible done at school. for when at home there's a whole new line of things to be done. Bottom - A crowded parking lot is an everyday scene for commuters at Austin Peay, especially in the parking lot beside the Trahern building.

Opposite - This snowy scene of the Browning building is usually a rarity in the winter due to Clarksville's relatively mild winters. Yet.. this year a day without snow on the ground was a rarity in the months of January and Febuary, as below zero weather tried its best to freeze out the students at Austin Peay.

Below - Classes continue in all types of weather. as students brave the cold and the snow to attend classes.
