The only reason I ' d like off campus is because I can be a very private person. I don ' t like being around people and I think it ' s better for studying sometimes. I don ' t like to be interrupted when Pm really studying. Last semester I lived in a place at Moss Hill with two girls, one who had already graduated and one who was still in school. . . . she manipu¬ lated her men, she was really good at it, she was an expert. She had it worked out so that there was only one man at a time at the apartment and the few times this little system broke down she had a good excuse to cover it . . . she tried to coordinate her eating habits with her dates for the obvious advantages. You see, I was a third party there, a roommate, I didn ' t have any emotional involve¬ ment with these girls, uhhh yeah, no emotional involvement. I used to like to see how they would move, just the physical movements were great because they would change when somebody came ... of course eye makeup, that ' s a big thing, a really big thing. Up in the bathroom it was hard to take a shower some¬ times ' cause you have to wade through about 120 bottles; red, blue, red, I don ' t know, all of this Maybelline, Revlon, Clinique, Jean Nate, God all tha t stuff. It kinda makes you wonder what it ' s all about. It ' s a vast learning experience, as long as you can remove yourself a little bit. I like living on campus because it ' s more convenient . . . easier to meet people. As a freshman it took me a year to get familiar with everything on campus, it was enough for me to find my way to second floor Holloway. About 1:00 people would wander to one end of the hall and start getting high, higher at 1 am. There were parties everywhere on the sixth floor. It wasn ' t only a coed dorm, everybody had a coed roommate. People traded off their boyfriends and their girl¬ friends and since everyone was going with each other up there it worked out fine. There were parties all night long. You could wander from one floor to another, everybody knew each other, except for the few who were out of it. I like living on campus, I don ' t like driving everytime ... I like to sleep until 10 minutes before my class, then just get up and go. Tv i$e 8oc ocK O ' ust classes KiUin m

On Or Off Campus? I ' ve never considered living on campus ' cause it would be too much like living in a barracks. When Choptank was new, it was a wonderful place to live. The maids were really nice. When you were taking a shower in the morning they would walk in and say 1 Don ' t mind me, honey. I ' m not interested in you young guys. ' It ' s really beautifully set. You can look out your window on the sixth floor and you ' re level with the tops of the trees. I ' m pretty much of a loner on campus anyway. Being on campus you meet people who sort of become a second family. It ' s a lot different from being at home; like doing your own laundj’y. Since I live in Ocean City, the commuting time takes a big chunk out of the day, but otherwise I would not be doing anything. That ' s one of the reasons I didn ' t know what was going on, because I lived off campus. If you don ' t get off campus, it ' s like living on a little island by your¬ self, everything centered in one place. When I get home to Ocean City, I step into the real world and leave the farcid, fairytale atmosphere at SSC.

mwtm Moralities My morality is based upon my experience, what I ' ve seen to be the truth. It doesn ' t mean my morality is right, it ' s just the one that I have. For instance, if someone asked me if selling dope was immoral I ' d say no, as long as it was a good grade of dope and the price was fair. It would be immoral if it was a rip off. I don ' t drink, I don ' t use drugs, I don ' t chase the women, therefore I couldn ' t really give an opinion on that. The much fabled sex life of college, something which I ' d looked forward to for all my life, I couldn ' t wait to get to those ' easy ' college girls, but I really didn ' t think they were that easy. To my surprise, it turned out to be just that easy. If I feel something is wrong, then that ' s it. I won ' t do it. I ' ve gotten wilder, I ' ve opened more. I used to be scared of people. I . . . went downhill. I don ' t drink. I watch everyone else get drunk and that ' s as much fun. Sexuality is more open here than at home. If two guys are gonna get married, who ' s gonna be the guy and who ' s gonna be the girl ? ' Cause somebody ' s giving up something and it ain ' t gonna be me, that ' s for sure! My basic athletic, jock sorta, conservative upbringing in me tends me, in moments of haste and anger, to classify some of the males on this campus as ' fags ' but I really haven ' t had the occasion to meet one. Queer as in odd or queer as in homosexual, that boy ' s daffy J 4
