Some never leave the sidewalk except to drive to clinical in Worcester. Others really get around; they go to The Pretenders at S.M.U., camping in New Hampshire, the Cape, on packy runs, food shopping, and of course close calls and last calls!

YOGR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE? Have you been to the bookstore lately? If you have, you already know that if you ' re going to buy books, you had better take out a student loan. For those of you who haven ' t been to the bookstore (and there are some students who have made it all four years without going in) it offers quite a wide variety of supplies to meet every college student ' s needs. For the freshmen, there is a wall devoted to t-shirts, football shirts, sweatshirts, shorts, hats and jackets all with the school logo on them. For the sophisticated alcoholic, there are beer steins, shot glasses and mugs with the famous Fitchburg State College seal. For those of you who actually like to read books other than those assigned to you, the bookstore can help there too. Best sellers and not so famous books are there for the buying. There are also some very spe- cial magazines made for those of you who just like to look at the pictures and have something to keep them company with on those long and lonely nights. For the graphics major, there is poster board, t-squares, pens, pencils, tape, and much more. Munchies are also available if you can ' t make it to the cafeteria or only have thirty cents in your pocket. On the whole, the bookstore offers a wide variety of products to choose from. So if you haven ' t been inside, take a chance and go in. You might be surprised. Don ' t forget to say hi to Margaret as you leave. As the bookstore cashier, she is a constant source of happiness and good cheer. 12
