Bright Beginnings and New Leases College seems to have a strange effect on its newcomers and imparts to even the most resistant to change an air of trans- ition. Free at last! That appears to be a major advantage of college — free from the ever watchful eye of parents and principals, liberated from the adult world! Or so we thought. For although it is true we no longer have any major authori- tative figure to answer to, once in college we hove to answer to ourselves. In fact, we rediscover the same adult world we had longed to escape — for now we have entered into it as members. Suddenly instead of principals and teachers urging us to attend class because it ' s good for you, we find our- selves taking on the responsibility of attendance because that ' s the reason for our presence in the first place. College is a training ground for many aspects of the world outside. It enables us to learn firsthand about money — the use and abuse of it. How many freshmen are there who can repress the urge to spend their entire checking account halfway through the semester? College experiences also test our com- mitments toward religion, family, and loved ones far away. nine
