eai - V ' ? ikt ' ■ ' • . -• V hat? you didn ' t stay for the big party after the bands were done playing saturday? well, you missed the best part. you should have tried to sneak back in after the fraternity herded everyone out for the clean-up event. After drinking beer and more beer and yet another beer or two (except for the two desig- nated drivers that had to cart evevryone home), the real fun started. First, there was the mass exodus of people leaving the party. the procession moved like a bunch of line-dancers minus rhythm. everyone meandered into the road and tried not to wander into the path of oncoming traffic. this was the true test. the designat- ed driver led the way, since only he knew where the car was parked. then came the not-as-drunk people, who quick- ly became designated crutches for the desig- nated drinker. As THE EXODUS MADE ITS WAY TO THE CARTER- FlNLEY PARKING LOT, OUR WEARY BAND WAS FOLL- LOWED BY SHOUTS OF, GET OFF, THIS IS PUBLIC PROPERTY! You CAN ' T PISS HERE! GET OUT! THOSE WHO COULDN ' T WAIT IN THE PORTA-JOHN LINE MADE THEIR WAY TO EVERY AVAILABLE TREE, SHRUB, BLADE OF GRASS BIG ENOUGH TO CONCEAL THEIR BUSINESS. Our JOURNEY BROUGHT PEOPLE TOGETHER. FRIENDS HELPED FRIENDS. SISTERS HELD BACK THEIR SISTERS ' HAIR SO THAT THEY COULD REMAIN BEAUTIFUL EVEN IN THE WORST OF SITUATIONS. . And THEN, THERE WAS THE PROMISED LAND- THE PARKING LOT. TWENTY PEOPLE PILED INTO EACH CAR AND TRUCK, AND SMALL RIOTS ENSUED. PEOPLE WERE HARD- PRESSED TO GET THE NAKED GUY TO WEAR ANYTHING, SO THEY JUST THREW HIM IN A TRUCK AND DROVE HIM AWAY. But it WAS after all this excitement that the true gala began- clean-up time. Those 20 cans you threw on the ground don ' t get picked up by the bud ice and michelob llght- beer can fairies, you know. a small band of fools-i mean, dedicated people-arrived to beau- tify the landscape. These dedicated people and ncsu ' s crew team got paid- ALTHOUGH not NEARLY ENOUGH, ONE participant said-to collect garbage. the lorax club col- lected the cans, of which most of • the litter was composed, because aluminum sells for money. Delta Sigma Phi and their new pledges got to take apart the stage and its var- ious components, which makes you wonder if that is what pledges are really for. The NEXT DAY, IT DIDN ' T LOOK SO BAD. What was once a row of porta-johns (thatwas not nearly long enough) stretched into the horizon, waitingto be reclaimed. and waiting for another nonstop day of use at next year ' s beer bash- i mean lawn party. but this is college, and it was a party,-so enjoy. But next time, just throw all the cans in one PILE so the cleaners CAN PICK THEM UP AT ONE SPOT-AND WOULDN ' T A MOUNTAIN OF ALUMINUM BE KIND OF COOL? im ' -.
