Cinder Block Blues Do you remember all the doubts you had when you first started living in the dorm? The first time I opened that door and stood facing those plain walls, I knew that if I didn ' t do something decorative, and quickly, insanity would certainly set in. It was not only the barren plaster, there were so many other things to adjust to as well: ten different stereos going at once; the late hours of loud voices; the frantic, fanatic and hilarious people! And I never knew there was such a thing as child- proof furniture before college. The worst, however, was probably the fighting twen- ty other girls for the one decent shower! Those things that once caught us off guard as fresh inhabitants of CUP, such as people hanging out windows seven stories above, now as veterans don ' t even make us look twice. There are so many reasons why we live, we learn, we adjust. We actually enjoy. -Angela Murphy To all of you who have at one time (or many times) been sitting at your desk, alone in your dormroom, agonizing over speech or calc: Out of nowhere, just as you ' ve begun Chapter I, like the subtleness of a cool breeze you hear voices, and as quickly as they came they go away. Back to work, Chapter I. You move to your bed, you study better there anyway. You ' re relaxed and ready to go, Chapter I. Again, the voices, mingled with laughter this time, a little clearer, a little louder. A door shuts. The noise is gone, and so is your concen- tration. But you ' re determined (that test tomorrow). Okay, here you go, Chapter I — it happens again, like an ocean gust the voices roar this time, there is music and is that pizza you smell? The noise flows enveloping you in its merriment. You know better, but slowly you get up (but are sure to keep the book opened be- cause you know you ' ll be back.) Follow- ing the chitter-chatter you turn down the deserted hall (where is everyone?) Three doors down you stop, the noise at its peak. You turn the knob, peek inside — and you thought your roommate went to the library . . . Back to your room, getting darker with nightfall, the window breeze slowly, gent- ly, laughingly turns the calc. pages one by one .... -Lisa Dean 14 A prison corridor? No! It ' s where many CUP students live. Where does she think she ' s going to put all that stuff? Bill Rehkopf, Michele Orf. Spanky Cardella. Rob Goldman. Darcey Blose and Andy Mallison let the good times roll!

Don Shearer Jeff Vizza knows the advantages of living off campus — cute neighbors! A nice cold beer and a couch are what living off campus is all about. An off campus student enjoys a lei- surely walk to class down the streets of Clarion. Is Off the way to go? Clarion University has quite a diversity of students, and of course, each student must live some place. For most, the dor- mitory is the answer; others commute, and yet another group lives under a con- dition known as off campus. Well, what is the big deal about living off campus? Why do so many live there? To find out just what is behind all the talk, this writer went off campus and found a group of people who live on the edge, without restrictions, outside the bound- aries of the University. They live in a small, unassuming trailer just off the main campus. Inside, it is actu- ally quite neat, a surprise considering three college men live there. Their names are Trey, David, and Steve. David, Trey, and I sat around the kitch- en table and discussed what life off cam- pus is like. It ' s a lot of fun for a little partying once in awhile, Trey began, and it ' s much quieter and easier to study. While he answered, the stereo and T.V. were on as David made macaro- ni and cheese while yelling at a friend of his sitting in the living room. This obvious- ly wasn ' t study time. But Trey continued, You also get to play music as loud as you want to, and you can get cable, he said, quite proud. They all seemed to be getting along pretty well, but I wondered how they got along living in such quarters. The big problems are about possessions and bill paying, Trey added. Our big fights are usually over responsibilities, like cleaning the bathroom and doing the dishes. My next thoughts led in the direction of money. How do they handle it? There ' s no budget for all of us; we ' re more or less on individual budgets, David said. I ' ll go to the store and buy some food for Dave and Steve, and they ' ll reimburse me, Trey added. ' That ' s one thing, David put in, you get to eat real food, not Chandler ' s. And I knew you certainly couldn ' t get delicious macaroni and cheese like he was about to eat up at Chandler. No sir. I asked them for their final thoughts on living off campus. Trey answered, Its a peaceful environment and people around here respect each other. I think we ' ll probably do it again next year, Dave said while downing his maca- roni and cheese, It ' s a lot of fun. -Joseph Barr Off Campus 15
