Gateway to west. The majestic sight of the Golden Gate Bridge is probably San Francisco ' s most prominant landmark. The bridge has linked San Francisco and Marin County for over fifty years. To many, the bridge ' s beauty and grace embodied the Bay Area lifestyle. Pholo by Kim Steinbacher San-fran style. The famous row of Victorian Houses sit high atop at Alamo Square with the city in its landscape. The endless rows of tall houses of San Franciso could be seen at every corner, and has become a popular spot for pictures of the city by the bay ' .

Roller derby. While rushing to his next destination, this student gets a little help by the use of some wheels. Rollerskates or in-line blades kept students on their feet, as well as sped them off to class, taster than just walking. Photo by Hope Meng Vroom, vroom. The transit bus zooms by a line of parked motorcycles. Either by bus, car or bicycle, students found faster ways of getting where they needed to go. which was anywhere from San Francisco to see a play or a local museum for art class. Photo by Hope Meng I realized how much I underesti- mated the impor- tance of having a car, so I bor- rowed my R.A. ' s car without her explicit permis- sion. She gave me the keys to retrieve something from her car, so I sent my roommate out to the grocery store. When she asked me for her keys I had to explain that her car was not exactly still in the parking lot (oops). I think she ' ll be mad at me for life. Freshman Gate Smith gcltiiig around I:]

Bay bridging. The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge links the two main sections of the Bay Area: The East Bay and the Peninsula. From Berkeley, one can see the Bay Bridge come alive at night. The bridge also serves as the gateway to the city for people living in Berkeley.

San Francisco? Don ' t be so vague. Living in the Bay Area is a new experience for some who have come to Berkeley, but for others, hanging out at the Haight, taking in a 49er.s game at Candlestick Park, or frequenting coffee shops at 3 a.m. is routine. If they brave the fog, Berkeley students may find a variety of activities and entertainment any day of the week. • Leafing through such local papers as the Bay Guardian, S.F. Weekly, or the dependable San Francisco Chronicle, students can find concerts and nightclubs to fit any taste. Students checked out everything from the Rolling Stones to the Counting Crows at the Bay Area ' s many amphitheaters. The Edge, the DNA lounge, and the Sound Facton- offer alternative and house music for those over 21, while the Palladium and Club X offer exciting alternatives to f rat parties for the 18 and overset. • When the disoriented, alchohol-hazed state of euphoria has lost it ' s zip, students feed their mtellectual side by attending some of San Francisco ' s fine museums and cultural centers. The San Francisco Symphony, The Academy of Sciences, and the Art Institute satisfy the most highbrow student. Other fringe benefits of living in the Bay Area are the safe and convenient BART .system, the lovely weather, and the diversity that such a large city offers. The endless variety and exciting events draw even the most die-hard phvsics majors out of their room. • Copy by Heather Bradle] ' living in (he bay area 13
