THE LIFE GF A DAY STUDE T 4 MLN ' '. L A day student's car holds the position of being his best friend and his worst enemy, as goes a day student's car so goes his life. A day student's car is his umbilical cord to education. It is the difference between an A and a FA. His life, hopes, dreams, and tomorrows hinge on his hearing the engine turnover on cold, test-day mornings. Seeing a day student kissing his car and thanking it for another job well done, a dorm student may believe that he has suc- cumbed to the pressures of college lifeg the dorm student just don't understand. Although aiday student's car may have him over a barrel, a gas barrel to be exact, by having a ten dollar per day gas addiction, the day student must continue to pamper his metallic, petro- leum junkie. If, heaven forbid, a day student hap- pens to offend his car, his car may react by misfiring and totally refusing to move. The day student has only one course of action. He must then bring his car a bouquet of a dozen spark plugs and hope for the best. I if

Not like any wedding vows you've heard? They have been revised - to fit the life of a married student! Being a wife and being a student - and being married to a student - pre- sents a challenge unlike any I have ever known.

Imagine if you can . . . studying for a zoology lab practical while frying ist .. chicken washing clothes between the rise and fall of Rome . . . I could go on! Being a married student is no easy task. Sometimes you think the odds are against you - nothing goes right - added pressure builds up Qand guess who you end up taking it out onj - you begin to wonder if ANYTHING can really be worth the sacrifices you make daily. What keeps you giving that extra bit of all you have, is the reason behind it all - the life you're making together. We have a dream . . . it's foundation is strong . . . we'll make it . . . for the best and through the worst! Kathy Jackson

TERTER NICE WAY T0 Stuffing birds playing poker with Dr. Gorry . . . printing a picture of Snoopy with the minicomputer learning the basic of flying visiting the Supreme Court of the nation . . . speaking for per- formance . , . improving test-taking-skills . . . these activities not normally done dur- ing the regular semester are all a part of BCC's unique program, Interterm. Inter- term is a time for professors and students alike to delve into new and different stud- ies in a relaxed, informal atmosphere. In- terterm gets its name because it comes in January, right between the fall and spring semesters. Due to the fact that Interterm atten- dance is optional, many students elect not to come. Empty becomes the word that describes the campus during January - empty cafeteria, empty dorms, empty parking lots . . . empty campus. Although always being able to find a parking space and whizzing right through the cafeteria line to get food is heaven, living in a suite with no company other than yourself is not always a particularly joyful experience. Interterm, a unique but empty time, is a nice way to spend January.
