The hidden treasures of Ridgeway unveiled The finer side of the lane. Ever notice these scenes on the Lane? Well, believe them, they are. Many of the nicer things are hid- den from view and normally would not be given a second glance. Well, the photographer wasn ' t normal to begin with and searched the Lane high and low for something that caught the fancy. For example, the fire escape is wedged between two dingy buildings. One sunny day, a gleam of wrought iron caught the al- ready mad one in the photographer ' s eye and voila . . . Many students are too busy to even pause and look around at the hidden treasures in the Lane. A bronze eagle rests atop an entrance light steps from the Student Activi- ties building. On the top floor of the Restricted Parking area building, a miniature forest grows. Most of the eye attention is usual- ly on the ground looking for Lane- infestation of the odious kind to avoid. This year may be different for the Lane. A Pooper Scooper law was so kindly passed by the legisla- ture up on the Hill. Since the law came into effect, the gymnastic side- stepping has ceased a bit. However, one problem will con- tinue to plague the Lane . . . lack of space. Many of the residents of the Hill regard Ridgeway as the high- way of the decade, speeding down and narrowly missing students play- ing catch or moving toward class.

Hey you over there, yes, you . . . say cheese! Our motto . . . Don ' t be surprised if somewhere, somehow, someday, someone walks up to you and says, Hi there, buddy, do you have a dime? Or change for a ten? Here are the expressions some students showed when asked that question. As you can see, the major- ity just looked, while two showed us how they felt about free-loaders. Actually, these people were caught in the act of looking sur- prised. A few people on this page have perfected it enough to wear the look constantly.
