When we got back to school in September, we got the news. AAU has a house! lt's an ugly house, rather like a Frank Lloyd Wright nightmare, but it's big and comfort- able, and best of all, 10091: ours. It's a place to go when the grey gothic gargoyles become unbearable. It's a place with one sink, one toilet, and one bathtub in the bathroom . . . a place where people become individuals, not cubicles off a main hall. It's a place to go play bridge when you don't have a date, or make lasagna when you do. It's a place just to be friends. 28

:M fl 'Z E - ':Hr'0'Y : em Qlarlticlccrz When did you first hear about Baldwin Federation and what impressions did you form at that time? Anonymous Student: Last summer I was offered a choice - freshman house, independent dormitory, or cross-sectional federation. The last one would look good on my transcript so I marked the appropriate box. Qhqticlccft You live in a fraternity section. Has this been worthwhile? Anonymous Student: Yes. lt took me a while to figure out why they weren't throwing bottles at each other, but then I realized that by inhal- ing from one end of the hall to the other I could detect which group smoked the better dope. Qliqticlccfz Did this influence your fraternity preference? Anonymous Student: Somewhat. Qbzlticlecfz How do you evaluate fraternities within a federation context? Anonymous Student: There are two possibilities. The first is that fraterni- ties and their functions may detract from the related atmosphere which the federation is trying to develop. Fraternity parties are considered more prestigious and draw people away from the less elaborate federa- tion gigs. On the other hand, the federation has thrown several widely divergent groups into close proximity of each other, and this could be a - ' g -1-ill I y f X ' 4 ,.., . .,. .vs , , 1 3 ' l 1 , ---' - Wo- ' 1 X X 1 5 . R N l . J b YW good thing. Qfitlticlccfz How so? Anonymous Student: There have been some epiphanies - nurds drink, iocks think . Things like that. Qlarlticlccfz So the federation has provided a positive living-learning experience? Anonymous Student: That's what The Bulletin calls it, I suppose. Well, it's not like the girls sit in their windows and wink at you, but it's definitely better than West. Qhqticlccf: I'm convinced. Do you miss the late hours of the Cambridge Inn? Anonymous Student: Not really. We iust get hungry an hour earlier. While the Dope Shop is open. Qfaqticlcefr What about having your classes on West? Anonymous Student: They're easier to cut, but when I do go over I have to invent reasons to stay, so l've met a lot of people iust by wandering around between classes. Qbqticlccf: Do you miss the urinals? Anonymous Student: No, toilets are easier to puke in. Qlaqticlcefz It sounds idyllic. 27
