“Good morning. The C P Telephone Company presents the latest weather forecast for Washington D.C. and vicinity. Six a.m. Washington National Airport Temperature, 32 degrees. Barometer 30.2 and rising. Partially cloudy, continuing till Tuesday. Chance of rain 10% today . . . As the typical 10% downpour soaks through his clothes and books, the unfortunate Statesman who must walk to school struggles against the elements. He arrives at school, dripping wet and shivering, and his lunch one soggy mess. Just as he enters the shelter of the school building a big yellow bus pulls up in the parking lot. A load of ungrateful bus riders sprint to get inside before they get wet. They don't appreciate the bumpy ride they've just survived. The drenched walker stands in a puddle by the radiator, glancing longingly at the bus. His only transportation is his feet. Hands protected from the cold, Victor Moravitz trods to school in October.

The Gap Tysons Comer Center Mon-Sat. 10:00-9:30 Sun. 12-5 Hectic, harried shoppers haggled over the merchandise in the various stores at Tysons Comer Shopping Mall. A fluctuating flood of consumers was enticed by the convenience of shopping at the extensive, enclosed mall. Convenience sometimes developed into hassle after hassle, as shoppers were confronted with impossible traffic and parking conditions, high prices, overworked employees, crabby crowds, and endless waiting in lines. Nevertheless, they flocked to sales in droves. The hustle-bustle atmosphere of Tysons was continuous, climaxing at the commercial Christmas season. A substantial number of shoppers were Marshall students. They either pushed and shoved along with the rest of the purchasers, or sauntered through the hallways searching for friends and passing the time. Swamped by the swarms of customers, student employees found their jobs at Tysons tiring, but profitable, endeavors. Because of the dense population of the mall, they found some social diversion in waiting on friends. Money and the lack of it cause Marshall students to seek parttime employment at neighboring Tysons Comer. Kathy Skillman measures a bolt of fabric while waiting for her break.
