X v. do you try to convert him to khakis or try to flunk him out so you can get a real roomie next semester? Your Dad opens out the back of the station wagon and there it is-the wall of famil- iar things made unfamiliar by being packed so tightly, rak- ishly together. Subconsciously recognizable ends of things peek out between Chivas Regal boxes full of records and ragg sweaters. Then comes the safari back and forth between the bushes, under the five-foot seven-inch doorway, around the corner through the twilight to your room. You pile everything in the middle or on your bed because your roommate fthe decision gets easier the more you think about ity has taken up the rest of the room with his stuff and claims it's there to stay.

She is obviously trying hard to be blasee about the living conditions and, undaunted by your assurances that it beats an Army barracks any day, wonders if they will let Aldora come up once a week to clean your room. Saying Goodbye Everything is out of the car. The last hints about catalogue orders have died away. The polyester kid has slunk off. Everyone is suddenly about as conversational as hospital visitors.

Another car which can be seen cruising the campus is the four-wheel drive sportscar made, but if it doesn't have tunes, it won't l make it. Some cars on campus are implanted with music sys- tems more valuable than the automobile itself. MAKES One of the most popular Hampden-Sydney cars is the family station wagon. These cars are usually passed down from a Hampden-Sydney mother to her son when he goes off to College. One of the most important qualities of this car is the large number of people that can be packed in for a road trip. Some wagons Scout, jeep. Bronco, or Blazer. These gis- guzzling monsters f are very popular with students who live off-campus because they often need four-wheel drive to negotiate the rocky, muddy, unpaved roads where they live. tThis is all well and good except that they rarely attempt to get to class when it snows, telling their professors that they were snowed in.j These vehicles also come in handy during hunting season and for tailgating during football season. High-performance econ- omy sports cars have always been winners at Hampden- Sydney. They used to be the lVIG's, Triumphs, and Austin Healeys. Now BMW's, jettas. and Saabs have taken their place.
