And you can't take shortcuts. Oh, you can, on a nice day but watch it when it rains or snows. You're either in the mud up to your ankles or sliding across the campus to your class. Then there's the problem of scheduling. Why does it have to happen to you that you have an eight and no other class until, say, 11:30? What do you do in the meantime? The dorm students can go back and sack out for awhile. But you're out of any such luck. Things aren't so bad now, however. At least there's the new Student Center with all those couches to stretch out on. There was a time, and I remember it because l've commuted for three years, when there were no couches and the only place to go was the old Union. The best you could manage there was a booth to yourself, if you were lucky. Or there was always the library where you could put in a few hours studying. Or you could find an empty classroom and try to study if you didn't fall asleep first. fThat is no longer possible. Empty classrooms are un- heard of nowadays. You can't even find a small classlj There was also a thing called the Refuge. lt was over in Kroner Qwhich one, l've forgottenl. lt wasn't a bad place, but it's hard to get comfortable on hard wooden chairs. And it was in the basement. There was never really that much to it. But things have changed. The Student Center has it all over any previous accom- modations. Thank Rider for that progress! Rider's commuters total over 1,000. There is a com- muters' organization The Association of Commuting Students CACSJ. This group manages to pull about 70 members, at the most, at their meetings. And that is where it can be said that the commuters are out of the mainstream of campus life. They have an organization to represent them, but they don't participate in the process. There are a few, who do, of course, but it's a very small percentage. The reason is because commuters do-in fact-commute. Many of them have jobs after school. Going to Rider is a job, in a way, because the commuter makes it a nine to five type of thing. He comes to classes and then heads home again, with a break in between for lunch. Commuters don't really have any reason to stay on campus longer than is necessary. The dorm resident does. He lives here. He makes himself a part of the campus just by his presence. And then he gets involved in campus activities. The commuter, though, because he doesn't live here doesn't become involved in the campus to any great extent. But a few do, and they're the ones who form commuter representation on the campus. Thank involvement, that old cliche, for that! Yet commuters are a good group. Those that partici- pate, really participate. And who else would keep Secu- rity busy checking out all the cars to make sure they're parked in the right places? And who else would keep the Administration busy checking to make sure that they're living with either their parents or spouses? You're supposed to, you know, according to college rules. And who else would keep the faculty going by making them change their roll books whenever they come in late? The answer is over and over the commuter. Commuting is interesting. lt's also fun, even with its little problems. You are kept going and still are able to put things in perspective. After all, you're not on campus all the time-in your own little world. SQ 78 if ,ul
