Occupation: Student. It is a strange occupation. No up to face the rush hour at eight thirty, coffee break, lunch, coffee break, off to face the rush hour at flue; itis over. Schedules and deadlines pervade our iife, and are sometimes ignered. The dividing line between work and ree- rcaiion is irregularly hexed accord- ing to what we can get away with. And do we really study while we are being Students? How much thought goes into the quizzes, pap- ers. and reports that are suppose to make us think? A field spread with Hume papers would be fertile, in- deed. But then, do we ever stop thinking? How many but! sessions are supported by our common stock of Gen Ed? How often do we reread from curiousily that book we skimmed through in haste before the last exam? We have learned. though not always satisfactorily, to work, play, and do nothing at more 01' less the same time.
