Yo, everyone who lives in Bingham, Broome, Che- nango, Delaware or Endicott is a slice, and knows it. As a girl from friendly Broome told us: probably the best part about living here is realizing that Newingites themselves either secretly, or more honestly, admit that Newing is, in many respects, a lot like summer camp and that most of its residents love it that way Life is neighborly, cheerful; people generally don't hide from one another; you shouldn't try to get anything done in the study lounges, college politics are taken fairly seriously, there's true corridor unity, and on most corridors, most of the time, it's still noisy after 3 AM ... Newing's got a great Environmental Studies major, a terrific C.R.A.S.H. program of rele- vant' ' non-credit courses, The Gazette, Lake Lieber- man, the Monster, birthday tosses, the immortal Goodnis Knoodnis, dancing on tables during Dining Hall parties, the Broome Closet, Delaware Days, Co- Rec Fever, being far away from the academic build- ings on the weekends, a not-always quiet but cozy library. Some attack Newing for its rah-rah immatu- rity, but what of it? Newingites don't seem to have the need to justify themselves they've got the spirit, and it's real.
