R DR Different Strokes When you got to Brown did you think that there would be any problem find- ing something to do? You probably dis- covered that the problem is deciding what not to do! The first place where activities can be found is right in your own dorm. The dormitory is not only a place to sleeo and study, but it is also a place to make friends and hold parties. Dorm life can be both fun and exciting and can even serve, through faculty-fellow pro- grams, to bring students and faculty together. QOutside the dorm, campus living is enhanced by over 130 extra-curricular activities supported by Brown and its students. An almost inexhaustible group of activities is available every day for the Brown student to take ad- vantage of. For those interested in community activities, numerous opportunities are available in the city of Providence. En- vironmental - action groups, volunteer tutoring programs and political organi- zations operate throughout the year. For those interested in journalism, for example, Brown offers something for everyone. Brown sponsors a daily student newspaper and the nation's first college radio station. At Brown, journalism means more than just writ- ing. There is plenty of room for creativ- ity in Brown's journalism. For those interested in the perform- ing arts, there is ample opportunity for the expression of this interest, not only for those who enjoy performing but for those who enjoy attending as well. Dance activities range from folk to modern dance clubs. Drama groups put on performances every week. Mu- sic groups range from exclusive singing groups to bands that almost anyone can join. Of course, as wide a variety of activi- ties as ours can cause problems, too. Conflicts between the extra-curricular side of life and academics can be ex- pected at Brown. Since the days can not be made any longer, Brown stu- dents may end up finding that one of the most valuable parts of their educa- tion is learning how to budget their time.

When home is anywhere north, south, east, or west of Providence that Amtrak, Allegheny, Bonanza or a car can take you, Brown's community, like Bell Telephone, becomes the next best thing to being there. Just like at home, the streets, sites, shops, and atmo- sphere are all comfortably famil- iar parts of your life. Our neighborhood five and dime store is Thayer Street, where you can buy anything from frozen yogurt to Saturday's Homecoming Special. Extra eggs for a cake or paper towels for your apartment can be found at Store 24. Last minute occassions sometimes call for gift certificates from Baskin Robbins or a rose from Clark's. Urges to browse might propel you to the sale books at College Hill Bookstore or the card section at Ashby Dean. Most important, when current as- sets are low, the Brown Book- store's student charge account becomes the carte blanche to weekend goodies. For those cosmopolites who migrated to Brown, Providence is the essence of citiness. Many fre- quent Trinity Square Repertory Theatre, the Met, Lupo's Heart- break Hotel, the Civic Center, and Westminster Mall. Others seek pleasure in strolls down lamplit Benefit Street, or mid-day brows- ing in Sough Main Street bou- tiques. Entertainment on South Main Street runs the gamut from Disco and Rock n'Roll on Monday nights, to mellow jazz on the weekends. A complete evening spent might include dinner at Cappricio's or the Left Bank, a foreign flick at the Cable Car Cine- ma, and a nightcap at L'Eliza- beth's. Students also utilize other areas of the Brown community. Fox Point boasts Fariah's Sweet Bread Backery, Amara's vegetar- ian eatery, and Rainbow Bikes. On the east side, Blackstone Boule- vard provides a five-mile stretch that has become a route for many a Brunonian jogger. Whatever your pleasure, when you're heading towards Brown and the White dome of the Capitol Building is floating in the sky, you will know that this is Providence. It's more than a nice place to vis- it. You live here.
