HIVER: Hey, don't I know y.ou from someplace? PRIMAVERA: I don't think so. A lot of people look like me. I have a plain face, iust like yours. In HIVER: Wait a minute! Don't get upset iust because l asked you a simple question. What do .you mean? About my face, I mean. I thought I had a pretty interesting face. PRIMAVERA: Look, I really don't'feeI like talking to you. The way you act .gives me the impression that you're an upperclassman, and as for as I'm concerned right now, I cIon't feel like talking to an upperclassman. Right now, thatis. HIVER: I think I have a pretty interesting face. PRIMAVERA: Ilook, being a freshman carries with it a lot of responsibility. l've got to sit here and look dumb, mainly because you- upperclassmen think we're all pretty' naive. Dumb even. Wearing these stupid dinks and walking around like. an idiot with these stupid placards around our necks. HIVER: But you've got to accept that. lt's part of college life. PRIMAVERA: After you look at wl1at's happening in the world, the mess it's in, do you think that I can really be con- cerned about this Joe College garbage? HIVER: You should have some fun. You're still a kid. PRIMAVERA: Go through the motions, ,you mean. Do every- thing that's expected of me, and nothing really after all is said and done. Absolutely nothing. HIVER: What do you mean? PRIMAVERA: Look, 'they're having freshman class-officer elections pretty- soon. Now, how can I vote for people without really knowing anything about them. He're's this person that' I'm supposed to vote for--and what about gym classes? l'rn eighteen and I'in in good health. Who needs gym more? Me or you? You're the best answer to that question. I dance a lot and thatls supposed -to be pretty good exercise. Why don't you have to take gym? Say, you are an upperclossman, ar'en't you? HIVER: Yeh, I'm a senior. Look, therefs a dance Saturday night at the gym. You said you liked to dance. Would you like to go? With me, that is. You do like to dance, don't you? PRIMAVERA: You keep changing the subiect. I was talking about gym and these stupid dinks and you keep talking about having fun. HIVER: What about your- classes? PRIMAVERA: What about them. HIVER: What do you think about them? PRIMAVERA: They're OK, but I really can't get too excited about them. Every time I ask a question, I feel stupid. Not because I asked the question, but because I had to ask the questions ShouIdn't you ask questions when you clon't know answers? HIVER: Sure. PRIMAVERA: So how- come I feel stupid? HIVER: I don't know. Haw do you expect me to know if you don't know. By the way, whatfs your name? APRIMAVERA: Maybe it's because I keep asking the wrong questions. Everybody else seems to ask' the right ques- tions. HIVER: Are you going to that dance with me or not? PRIMAVERA: I don't particularly care for dancing. HIVER: But you just said- PRIMAVERA: I just saidwhat? HIVER: Forget it! I'lI see you around. END

The arrival of a new class on campus in September gives faculty and upperclassmen alike a welcomed change. There are new faces to look at, new minds to impress. Faculty can hope for the better questions, the better ideas, and upperclassmen can look back on their first arrival which seems a long time ago - but really isn't at all. FRESHMEN O
