Even though the campus is relatively small, it seems an endless journey when walking from King Horn to Dukes. To avoid the hassle of walking, some students bring bicycles from home to speed up their ventures. The only problem with that is the storage for winter. To escape storage problems, many students own automobiles. This mode of transportation is fast and most times efficient. The students’ cars range from new sportsters to old classics to the family clunker. At any rate, on most students’ wages gas doesn’t come cheap. So, the majority of students still count on God’s reliable invention — two feet! Stepping away from the ordinary. Rick Hammond gets his act balanced out as he uses a unicycle for short trips. Sometimes using a car can be difficult as Madeline Baker shovels her way out after Mother Nature dropped eight inches on Ada. - Transportation

Dear Mom and Dad, I’ve only been here a week and a half and already so many things have happened here — it’s hard to believe. 1 have been late to only three cf my classes. One I couldn’t find. I went to the building where it was supposed to be and there was nothing but empty desks there. I finally found the right classroom in the library! The other day 1 tried to go in the wrong line at the cafeteria. You should have seen the lady who takes your number. All that yelling just because 1 was in the wrong line. I swear they have alarms all over this campus. We have already had four fire alarms — all false. I went to the library Sunday to study. I really didn ' t know that 1 had gotten that magazine mixed in with my books, but it was hard to explain that to the librarian when she tried to fine me. I thought surely that had to be all cf ' the alarms there were — but I was wrong! 1 tried to go out the side door cf SAGA one day when suddenly bells started ringing. I didn’t know what I had done. Tuesday at Brookhart Hall I got a parking ticket. I’m lucky to have gotten only a ticket. I had to beg the officer not to have it towed. They really get rough sometimes around here. How was 1 to know that parking space was for the Head Resident? I tiied to do my laundry last night, but even that didn’t turn out right. First the washer ate four quarters, then 1 tried to dry my tennis shoes. Mom — I need a new pair of tennis shoes. Out cf the whole week and a half, today was the worst. I had gone through the line in the cafeteria and gotten something to drink when out of nowhere came this football player. Both our trays went high into the air and landed with a crash. What was so embarrassing was that everyone started clapping. I guess it was worth it, though —the football player asked me out. Although it hasn’t been a smooth week and a half, I have discovered a few things about ONU that 1 enjoy. There’s Northern Freeze, Jerry’s, John and Toni’s, Station House, and the Reagle Beagle. I’ve discovered fraternity parties, rush parties, Park Hall, and men! I’ve learned about RAs, Turtle Beach, and the “Tundra.” (Dad, do you know that quarters bounce?) I was never told how confusing college would be, but I love it already. A Freshman’s Destiny A Part and Apart Love, Susi P.S. Please send money!!! Freshmen ' s Destiny 21 J
