star Trekkers Before I came to Barnard, I thought I was capable of accomplishing a lot. Through my experiences of the past four years, I feel now that I can tackle any challenge. Courses for my double major, involvement on the fencing team and in student govern- ment and activities programming (BOM), have made my college years an exciting ex- perience. As captain of the Varsity Fencing Team, I begin my day at 7 A.M. with an hour long run near my home. This is followed by studying or errands, depending on my class schedule. I then have a half-hour ride on the IRT to my classes, which continue through the after- noon. At 4 o ' clock until 7 in the evening, I have fencing practice. Meetsare usually scheduled for Wednesday and weekends. College is a time for growing, and I have grown during my four years at Barnard. Ann Ryan, ' 81 , Economics Political Science ♦ I ' ve tried to look at commuting, not as a drudgery, but as an experience. Coming from White Plains on the 7:14 train each morning and spending one and a quarter hours on my three-train ride to school admittedly seems like a big hassle. I ' ve tried to use this time profitably, however, by doing my schoolwork and by relaxing. Typically, I arrive at school at 8:30 to chat with friends and then to trek to the library. By 6 P.M. at the latest I ' m back in White Plains with ample time to rest and study. Sure there were times I wished I lived on campus (and could just roll out of bed and into class), but overall, I realize that I ' ve had a greatly varied and enriched lifestyle. The opportunity to keep old home friends and close family ties, while branching out to meet new college friends in New York City, has been a unique advantage. Donna Yanofsky, ' 81, Political Science ♦ I have been a member of the Varsity Swimming Diving Team for the past three years. To get to practice on time, I ' m out of the house and into the car by 6 A.M. Practice runs from 6:30 to 8:30, Monday through Friday, then I ' m off to my morning classes. I take a Senior Life Saving course twice a week, and three times a week I have weightlift- ing. Afternoons and evenings are devoted to studying. Meets are held Fridays, with some meets taking the team away for part of the weekend. Sundays, from 3:30 to 5:00, I have — you guessed it — team practice! Finding energy to play on a team, to com- mute, and to study is not always easy. Al- though commuting itself may not be much fun, I can enjoy the conveniences of home. Since my family is very close, we enjoy spend- ing time together. While enjoying an active campus life, I ' m able to meet with my friends who attend other local colleges and to spend time with them, too. Maryanne Cunningham, ' 82, European His- tory ♦ My day begins with the blaring of my clock radio at 6:00 A.M. Depending on my energy level (which usually corresponds to the day of the week), I drag myself out of the house any- where between 7:00 and 7:20 and get into my car. By 8:10 I ' m scooting around Broadway, looking for a spot to park my car and usually snarling at smaller cars. If I ' m lucky I get a spot on Broadway, if I ' m really lucky, on Claremont Ave., and, otherwise, on 120th Street where I have to sit in the car until 9:00, thanks to alternate side restrictions. Once I am at school, I ' m just like any other Barnard stu- dent. That, I think, is the key to commuter life at Barnard: we are all Barnard students, and most commuters would like more people to realize that. I go to any event on campus that I want to, I am as interest ed in what goes on here as anyone is, I just sleep 13 miles away. I am now a Barnard Admissions Office Tour Guide, I wrote for a brief time on Bulletin and was a member of Commuter Action in my freshman and sophomore years. I, like most commuters, have my share of school spirit, and my share of gripes, but I guess if the good didn ' t outweigh the bad I wouldn ' t still be here. My days are filled with classes and I work for the Barnard archivist. I am an Ameri- can history major and my days are therefore filled with thesis research. If there is no meet- ing, party or other event that I want to attend, I go home and the next day begins with the blaring of my clock radio at 6:00 A.M. Depend- ing on my energy level . . . Karen Frieman, ' 81, American History ♦

Are you a commuter? Pacifier also doubles as costume jewelry and is 100% mugger proof. A brown paper lunch bag for that ultra student look. The only New Yorker who still listens to the weather report. An instrument case (may be empty) for that interesting personality look. The all new commuter phone. Al- lows you to keep professors posted on your traveling progress. A small beeper will be available next fall. Handy pouch for tokens, tissues, and garlic (because you really don ' t want that bum to sit next to you). A honey bear for company on that long and boring trip. Sneakers make me faster than a speeding BMT, more powerful than an IRT. Rate your commuter status: Do you: 1. Spend more money on tokens than you do on your lunch? 2. Kn ow the initials of the sub- ways better than the initials of your own name? 3. Enjoy the companionship of a rat? 4. Have you ever set out for school and wound up at Bloomingdale ' s instead? 5. Do bus and or train doors habitually close in your face? 6. Despite your rushing are you often ten minutes late to that first class, including (espe- cially?), mid-term and final days? 7. Do the birds chirping in the morning annoy you more than the screeching brakes of the M.T.A. trains? 7V2. Do these screeching noises relax you and induce sleep? 7%. If yes (to the above question), Are you crazy? 8. Do you think you know every- thing there is to know about New York City?
