We come to learn at your feet, gaze into your eyes, drink out of your pocket flask la pocket for which was con- veniently placed in your jacketl. We will re- member how you molded our youthful hopes, fed our quest for knowledge, gave us friendships which will last forever, made us pregnant. You give us the future, for it is because of you that we will take our places in the world of business, be appointed to the offices of the gov- ernment of the land, be picked up by the police for drinking. And when we think of you, we will remem- ber you as the campus of many faces, many moods. We will think of the vast spectrum of thought you exposed us to, the fresh air of scholarly freedom. Be proud of the sons and daughters who look upon you, upon treelined paths lpre-cast concretel, upon the warm and friendly atmosphere of the study halls llibrary temperature rarely drops below 80 degrees, even where the friendly prefect sits by the doorl, the cooling draughts of knowledge on the library shelves lwhen the library temperature drops below 80 degrees, it falls to 38 degreesi, the unity and flow of your architecture, the master- piece of art soaring into the springtime sky ide- signed no doubt by some architect full of beer and good fun at 3:00 a.m.l. Yes, Carleton, we are proud of you. Where else could we disseminate information about birth control methods and obtain 29 abortions? Where else could we be given a choice between a chapel and a swimming pool, and be given neither? Where else could we have been ad- mitted with the marks we had? Oh Carleton, we love you, more or less. 1 M- N Q NN't N--...Ning Page 17

U - -'rr--.. 'gf fnyt L x S s L0 At Carleton pride is something which is hard to come by lwhen we are soberl. The Univer- sity is only 25 years old - very young for an institution ot learning, Thus, there is little tradi- tion attached to Carleton yet. We have Rodney the Raven, Carleton's crow, but he has to be led about by cheerleaders lor so he claimsl since he cannot see. We have Winter Weekend, but a rolling beer bottle gathers no ivy. We have a high academic standard, but you cannot eat D 's This is unfortunate since the tradition of a university is important in the life of students. Pride is a wonderful thing to all except those on whom it is practised. lt would be nice tor once to sing Carleton, we love you instead of U. ot O. we hate you and We'll bash you, RMC lnot only is the cadence off, but we rarely suc- ceed in bashing anyonel, Why is it that we cannot carry away with us on graduation, mem- ories of hallowed halls and neo-gothic lor, in our case, neo-penall arches. Perhaps somehow, we can get the ivy to grow on our walls. PCQG l?
