CALL-A-RIDE 2:30 a.m. Help! I ' m stranded at the Chemistry Library. It ' s snowing, it ' s dark outside, I have pneumonia and I ' m getting a Big Mac A ttack. I ' d better call Call- A -Ride. 3:23 a.m. Here I am in the cute van with the orange light on top. Too bad there ' s seventeen others ahead of me. I ' ll just have to wait m ' turn. 3:58 a.m. I never realized there were so many junk food places on Route One. 4:45 a.m. Gee, there ' s my dorm and it ' s only been an hour and 23 minutes since they picked me up. CHAPEL It could take a freshman up to one semester to figure out the melodious tune chiming in the hour is Maryland. My Maryland and not Oh Christmas Tree. COMMUTER I am a member of an accursed race. I am a commuter. As a commuter, I am capable of unending patience sitting in rush hour traffic on the Beltway or Route One, bucking the 8:00 mad dash or getting up an extra hour early to get to class on time. Daily, I hunt for that one precious parking space hidden deep within my assigned (or unassigned) lot. And then there ' s the day of the big snow. I turn blue at the bus stop before finding out that the shuttles aren ' t running. I hop into my car and crawl to campus only to find that classes have been cancelled for the first time in ten years. Yes, the commuters ' majority is a comfort — at least I know I ' m not alone. 22

B ' f w«» ■ i l l . ■1- WW BACKGAMMON At first it was labeled a fad, but the rage has withstood the test of time and is still sweeping College Park. Backgammon enthusiasts can be seen holding late night tournaments in the dorms, catching a quickie on the Mall between classes or just having a casual game over lunch. Many say backgammon is merely a game of luck with the dice, but a loyal player is quick to defend the game as requiring enormous amounts of skill and concentration. BEER In heaven there is none, and that ' s why we drink it here. The all-American brow for parties, mixers and all social occasions, beer goes with pizza, football and good times. It is the canned, bottled, and kegged drink of college-goers, suited for nearly every taste, price range, and social standing. BILLS Bills at UM are paid not once, not twice, but at least three times — each. From freshman orientation until that long-awaited graduation day, students are flooded with a continual onslaught of multi-colored bills for tuition, room and board, tuition and more tuition. If you don ' t learn anything else at the University, you learn to keep ALL receipts. Classes like Bill Dodging 101 should be offered for seniors worrying about the ancient threat — if you don ' t pay, you don ' t graduate. YRD Forget Florida. Forget Ocean City. Mary- land students get their San Tropez tans without Bain de Soleil, without beach, without sand, without ocean. Come the first sunny March day when the temperature soars to an unbearable 55 degrees and the UM sunworshippers head for Byrd Beach. There they lie on aluminum bleachers, frying beyond well done, from Spring Break through finals week. But a Byrd tan is not a true tan. The bright red hue peels and fades almost overnight. And come rain or snow, hail or sleet, track practice or football games, Byrd Beach reverts to what it once was — a stadium. 2]
