Reflections JL hey say that one fourth of your life time is spent sleeping. Well, if you ' re a commuter one fourth of your time at NU is spent in parking lots. Parking lots. Five years of them. They have been changed around more times than the pathways in the quad. Each year, each time back from co-op; every quarter, the treasure hunt to find the student parking lots was harder than the test for Operarions Management. Students who have commuted for five years have spent so much time travelling they qualify for frequent flyer bonus rnps to Ber- muda. Say the average commuter travels 17 miles a day. Over a period of 1 1 quarrers at 60 class days a quarter — that ' s 1 1,220 miles. In order to receive a Northeastern diploma you have to travel across the United States twice. (Which might be shorter than the distance you have to travel to have a petit signed to take a class while on co-op.) This isn ' t even counting the lines you ' ve had to wait in. Lines are as much a part of NU as co-op and a winning basketball team. Remember registrarion? Going from the ballroom to some office to another office try- ing to get a computer card that might get you a possible space in a class. Things have gotten better, though, if you can decide nine months in advance what courses you would like to take. ■ — Carol Beggy 28 Sophomore Year
