I've trespassed in the backyards of millionaires' es- tates on the lakefront. Once I found a wrist-watch on a private beach and the owners treated me to an aristocratic dinner for returning it. At King Richard's Faire I've re- turned to Renaissance times with minstrels, troubadours, mimes, dancers and peasants. Another time I went downtown simply to see the bums After following a cou- ple, I eventually sat down with a man named Al. He freely advised me on my sex life, world history and other areas. Commuters can be funny too . . . Two of the most fas- cinating people I go to visit in Chi- cago are my mother and brother Steve. Tim Klassen Students travel to Chicago in order to attend concerts or other cultural events, visit friends at the Urban Life Center, walk city streets as lovers, converse in dimly-lit coffee shops or bars, and visit museums for college course as- signments.

The following report was abstract- ed from the study completed by so- ciology majors Jeff Schmitt, Ste- phen Beachy and Eva Dell Neel in Methods of Social Research. The study attempted Uto understand better the perceived frustrations of students with their social life and the social activities which take place on campus. In response to the first of the ques- tions, On the whole, how satisfy- ing are the activities which you at- tend regularly'?,', 79 percent of the students responded by checking satisfying or very satisfying. When asked How satisfied are you with the quality of activities available on campus? a smaller percentage of students indicated satisfaction: a total of 55 percent. While 58 percent of the students surveyed find campus activities or- ganized and coordinated, 42 per- cent disagree or are uncertain.'A total of 73 percent of the sample indicated that campus activities are well publicized by answering noi, to the statement I am often un- aware of planned campus activi- ties. When asked to respond to the statement I feel that my social needs are begin met through Go- shen College activitiesf' only 29 percent agreed. This item did, how- ever, elicit comments such as I take responsibility for my own so- cial needs - it should not be the function of the college to take this responsibility for me!
