■■■■■■■■H (VZ) West-Northwest i Transfer not good on bus after using rapid transit unless time is stamped on transfer when ' saving station. The CTA brings thousands to Cir- cle every school day. It ' s a unique experience of feeling alone when you ' re surrounded by a crowd of people. You can kill the time of the ride by staring out the window, or pouring over a newspaper, or sizing up the other passengers, or whizzing through the day ' s assign- ments, or studying the ads plaster- ed on the ceiling. During rush hour it ' s the worst; everybody seems preoccupied with getting where he ' s going; fidgeting and watch- checking are a must during these times. If you ' re lucky enough to not have to suffocate through the rush hour jam, you miss the sen- sation of being just one more sar- dine in the can, but you can still feel the coldness and detachment vibrating in the air. Nobody talks, nobody laughs, nobody smiles (un- less they ' re nuts or with a friend). It ' s not the warmest place in the world but it gets you where you want to go or away from what you want to leave. 22 tt» '
