Chris Bradley Lynne Fye and roommates spend a spring afternoon in their backyard playing volleyball. One of Clarion ' s beauties finds time to chat on the phone during a study break This is a typical off-campus bedroom! Chris Bradley Dear Mom And Dad, (Again) Ed Donovan A typical item in every off-campus fridge is a bottle of beer. — nl oy, this off-campus living is a lot : better then dorm life ever wos! II I con do whatever I v ant, vy henever I want! For example, we had our very first real-life college party this post weekend, and tons of people showed up! It went great — only seven windows got kicked in! Speaking of the party, you ' ll never believe what happened! When we got up the next morning to survey the damage, we found this guy fast asleep on our couch! It seems he can ' t remember where he came from, so he ' s staying with us for a while. You ' d like him. Mom— he ' s great about doing the dishes. His name is Spike . . . We had to take one of our room- mates to the doctor yesterday. You see, her skin was turning this really weird shade of orange. The doctor said he ' d never believed it if he hadn ' t seen it — he said she ' s turning into mac- aroni and cheese! Gotta be honest with you. Mom, I never believed you all these years, but now I know something like this can really happen! Other than that, things are great, classes are boring, and I love you both! I ' ll write again soon. Love, P.S.: Send food! Your off-campus college student -Sue Folmer Lifestyles 19

Dear Mom And Dad ife in the dorm is . . . different. After you left and I finished moving in, I found out that my roommate is an avid collector. That ' s right, my rommmate collects machetes. The doctor said I was lucky I only needed 20 stitches. You ' ll be getting the bill. Other than that, everything is fine. I went to do my laundry for the first time a few days ago. The funniest thing happened! When I came back to the laundry room to put my clothes in the dryer, I found no clothes to put in! Either they got sto- len, or the machine shredded them into such tiny pieces that they rinsed right through those little holes inside. I opted for the latter. So I did the only logical thing. I went downtown and bought myself a whole new wardrobe. You ' ll be getting the bill. Guess what? The food at Chan- dler is, well, kind of . . . caustic. See, I went to lunch the other day and got tomato soup. As I placed the bowl on the table, some of the soup splashed onto my brand new books. Lo and behold, the soup ate right through them! Boy, this college life sure takes some getting used to! Oh yeah, I had to get all new books, and you ' ll be getting the bill. All in all, I ' m having a great time and am adjusting well. I ' ll be writing again soon— bet you can ' t wait! ! miss you very much! Love, P.S.: Send money! Your College Student -Sue Folmer 18 Lifestyles

HAT IS IT THAT YOU WILL RE- MEMBER MOST ABOUT MAIN STREET IN CLARION: IS IT . . . . . the old man who sits on the bench in front of the Loomis day after day? . . the tempting aroma of Bob ' s Subs as you walk by or, better yet, those late night sub runs? . . the store window displays as they change from season to season? . . the white lights on the trees at Christmastime and the carols being played as you walk down the street? . . the outside clocks in town (Mellon Bank ' s, First Federal ' s, and the courthouse ' s) that all say a different time? . . those late night munchy runs to 7-Eleven and the Uni-Mart? . . all the girls that walk through town and always stop to look in the jewelry store windows? . . bargain nights at the Garby and the Orpheum on Monday and Tuesday nights? . . the Mardi Gras that never seems to close? 20 Our Town Clancy Ann ' s adds to the skyline of Main Street. The Courthouse doors were bedecked with boughs and ribbons at Christmastime. This is the sight that greets students as they come off Exit 9 of 1-80.
