f How many liquid lunches and Friday afternoons were en- joyed at the Pub (born 1976 and christened The Underground . . . changed to Allies in the name of school spirit)? Now the orange and chrome have been replaced with a 'new and improved' look. We've also seen the progression of the McLaughlin Room to the Quiet Pub . . . now in the Michener Room. We've even spent some time in classes, with our share of good and bad profs. We've cultured our memory cells with many phenomena: the treacherousness lurking in dented cans, Canadian literature and American foreign policy. Clen- chamatics. Thermodynamics still baffles me. There have been the classes we've slept through (especially those 8:30's) but there have been just as many that have been too short. We've lined up to get seats in Bracken or pulled all-nighters in the smoke-filled MacCorry reading room (although sup- posedly there is no longer any smoking allowed). Those nights were punctured by too frequent visits to the coffee machines and the washroom - if only to read the graffitti on the walls. We bought golf, hockey and rugger shirts to declare our loyalties. We bickered amongst faculties in an attempt to proclaim supremacy. We argued about tuition fees: cutbacks; community relations; the roles of Rectorus Queenus. Dean of Women and AMS court: campus security and vandalism and such wordly issues as social responsibility and Noranda. Some of us were even actively involved in politics - both student and otherwise. We vote them in (or at least some do) and then condemn them. Most of us still have trouble finding the AMS offices. y 5 V

 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Eventually we moved out of the protective arms of Vic I.ee. or other corners of res . . . some into the ghetto along with the rats and pigeons, some into the periphery. We live on our own and we live in groups for comradeship. Elrond was an alternative for some - its mortgage foreclosure leaves some uncertainty regarding its future, no matter what the Friday Moon said. Co-op provided roofs for many. We learned to cook and where the closest laundromats were, some of us found girl friends to do our laundry for us. We've endured line-ups for almost everything: Oom-Pa-Pa tickets, the bank, squash court sign-ups. registration, fee payments, pubs (although there was always the back door to sneak in) and even graduation. But those waits were usually worth it. Did you ever parade through Grant Hall the day of the Science Formal? Capes and top hats were everywhere that night and the next morning too. V 7
