1 WISH SOME Of MY FRCNDS were here I could tel them about America, but it wouldn't be the same love Sweden, also, but I couldn't persuade anyone else unless they see it. Mag- nus VJekjndet Photo D. Ashton GOFF DANE IT! Hvedstrup. Roskilde-a vil- loge of 40 people on Denmark's Sjaeland Is- lond. Sound a bit scary? To those who have never been there, maybe, but to senior Bruce Goff, it's his home away from home. How did he man- age that? Deciding he ” . liked the people and their outlook on life,” Goff chose to become a sum- mer American Field Ser- vice student to Scandina- via. After receiving a picture of his Danish family, Goff admitted to being appre- hensive of the trip. But upon arrival, Goff found he didn't really miss home since ... there was no time for worrying!” A language orientation camp where such pass- able Danish phrases as Where's the bath- room?” were learned, prepared Goff for his qui- et and reserved family. The atmosphere gave Goff a small shock, but he says. After a week, it was just home.” Introducing Goff to Danish lifestyle was the typical day begun at 7:30. Let- ters to friends or a look at American Political books came before helping around the house or a bike ride. A trip to the beautiful city of Copen- hagen would come at night; otherwise, old American films were the family's entertainment. When it came time to leave, Goff realized that nothing was permanent with the friends he made, making the trip back not so bad Although he does not feel he gained self confidence. Goff does admit to a better outlook on life. I feel I can under- stand people better ond they can relate better to me. CHUCKIE Ooh-wee! ... Did you say Magnum. P.l. was here? Not Magnum. Magnus! Who? Magnus Welander. the Scan- dinavian exchange student from Sweden. Does he under- stand English? Of course, he's been speaking English since third grade, and he even knew his American family be- fore he got here! So. what does he do? Haven't you read USA TODAY? He's a kicker on the football team. So they play football in Swe- den? No. he had never even seen a football before, but he does play a savage game of soccer. Haven't you seen his kick? It's more than just a kick, it's his own special hop. skip, and a jump that he does in Sweden. Does he think it's a lot different here than in Swe- den? Well, yeah, he's used to 3-6 hours a week in one class for 15 classes, but that's not so different. Listen to this, over there the girl meets her date at a movie and pays for herself! That's not all. she even pays for her own dinner if they get hungry! Ooh- wee! Here comes Chuckie . And as he passes by. Magnus wonders to himself. I never understood why they caled me that. TM A LOT MOPE EASY GCWVG about people As long as they don't waste time and talent and don't try to impose anything on me. I don't care what they do1 Bruce Goff Photo S White

WEEKENDS WERE MADE FOR . . . Hey. Bob! What are you doing this weekend? How should I know? It's only Tues- day. Tuesday! Is that all? I'll never make it. The bell rings at 3:10 Friday; it's time to party. The once tired students are now in a mad dash for their wheels. No- body's worrying about papers due or tests to study; they're more con- cerned about where everyone's going tonight: if anyone's going down to Lindsay, if Todd Quigg is having a par- ty. if the gang is going to see Risky Business. or what's on HBO or Cine- max. Saturday is usually the day when you make up those extra hours of sleep. It's the day to go to Northpark and ex- pand your wardrobe or stare at the stereo system you can't afford. But it's not all fun and relaxing; it's work time. too. It's the time when Mom says. Boy. I sure could use some help around the house. or Dad says. What a perfect day for you to cut the grass. It's when the boss says I really need you to work tonight. Doesn't it seem like all the great things happen on the night you work? I need the money, but I need the social .time, too. said senior Scott Tooley, who works at Happy Joe's. Saturday night turns out about the same as Friday, except you have to be in early for church. Sunday. It can't be Sunday already! Suddenly, the fact that the Humanities journal, and Writ- ing Experience research paper are both due tomorrow, hits you like a ton of bricks. Students worry so much about their homework, they don't get started until about 10:30 Sunday night As soon as it's started, the body be- comes extremely tired; so tired that homework is nearly impossible to ac- complish. Thoughts and writing be- come blurred as the communication between the brain and fingers fades. The alarm goes off with an explosion. You look at your homework, it's done, you don't even remember doing it. Yes, it's hard to believe that the week- end is over. It seems like you didn't get to do anything at all. and escape the Sf, e a fy Photo D AshtS! ,he 18
