I think that there's more pride in Northern now than there was when l started here. All the talk of going Whig time gets a little sickening, but it's just an expression of pride. You see it in the spirit at games. You see it when they don't need quite as many busses to cart home the suitcasers. You walk along from class to class and all these hordes of people press past you. You see one or maybe two faces that you know in all of that mob. The rest' are total strangers. You sud- denly see how you can feel lonely in the middle of a crowd. Northern's reputation is growing. lt's not so much a place you run away from on weekends but a place where you can have a good time. S

N You're constantly rushing around here. lt's impossible to get from Ander- son to Reavis West in ten minutes, and it's too much to be expected to hit a whole 76 hours of classes every week. So you cut class, you walk into Econ five minutes late, and you set your own pace. It may not be the approved vvay, but it's the only sane vvay. Hl'm ready to get out of this place. All this running around and playing can't be real life. Anyway, I hope not. I never believed that I could cram so much into so little time. I do without the extra hour's sleep, skip breakfast, and do something active instead. lt's all these spur of the moment things that can really ruin a schedule, but they're potentially the most fun.
