Human reality is a being which is what it is not, and which is not which it is. - lean Paul Satre Poor humans! We wander through life from role to another, never quite sure which bit parts are reality and which are illusions. We build heroes in our minds, and then a credibility gap is spawned when we find politicians are really only humans playing at a game, just as we are humans playing at being students. Are you real when you're sitting in a classroom? Or are you real when you're sitting in a bar drinking the night away? Which image is the illusion? Or is it the illusion which is reality? What could be a starker reality than the nation's economy? But do the material building gd blocks of our lives bring us happiness or just an illusion of happiness? We are surprised when we find those blocks were really only sand. We were aware of the famous and the infamous but they seemed to be only characters in a play until innocent Linda arrived on campus. Then the pushing and the shoving, the staring and the dreams showed she was reality. So, life at the University appears to be a microcosm of our total life. What appears today as reality may be only an illusion when we reflect on it tomorrow. Perhaps the experience of college can help us recognize the difference. Perhaps it will only perpetuate the illusions in our minds. - Debby Spruk
