1 1 90 .,....w-lint. .QI ful- - - - fscahemin Why We Are Here To learn and study - that is why we went to college, isn't it? Although many of us complained about the work we had to do, we did it, otherwise we would not have survived here. Professors, freshman year land maybe even senior yearl, seemed to demand an awful lot from us. Re- member that first ten page research paper that was assigned? Our professor showed the class the library then set us loose in that in- timidating building - Donnelly Library. Some professors even expected us to learn how to use the word processors. We had to overcome our fear of computers ta few of us were lucky enough to be comfortable with these machinesj. Do you recall the frustration in figuring out what keys did what and those long nights spent staring at the blinking green cursor? But we did it.

Freshman year most of our classes were intro ones and the teachers actually expected all 35 students to discuss the lectures. Or sometimes there were special days set aside for us to talkg the professor would drone on and we'd be afraid of asking a question because it would be like interrupting the Gettysburg address. But then as we progressed we took seminar classes. We'd sit at those big round tables and con- template all sorts of subjects. The professors would fake us out and switch seats every classg we couldn't hide anymore if we were not pre- pared for class. And how we had to prepare! We studied in a variety of places. Sometimes we would try to accom- plish something in our rooms, but there would be too many distrac- tions. We'd then try a lounge, but in- evitably someone wanted to watch television. Some of us went to our classrooms and study and sit in the same chair we inhabited every day. Some of us went to the science library. And many of us went to Donnelly library. There are a lot of places in the library where we studied. Some of us went to the large quiet study room, others found a private room with friends or a study group. Some of us needed activity around us and opted for a table in the stacks. And the smokers would be found in the butt room. But we did more than study in the library. We did research in the stacks, reference and microfilm rooms. Many of us frequented the writing center either to get help on papers or be taught how to use the word processors. Sometimes we even procrastinated by reading a paper or magazine in the periodical room or socializing. And we survived it all. Tim Bernero.
