Then I saw it. Right on the island under the stupid tree. ' rn. an open space and only slightly illegal. I was golden. Hell, it beats fighting for a seat on the shuttle bus and besides, I thought, who has all day to waste waiting for the thing. I ran past a couple of wimpy weathermen on my way past Costello Gym. OK, so not every Weatherman is wimpy. But with spokesmen like Dick Albert and AI Caprellian, who can take any of them seriously. As I finally make my way to Southwick and up the stairs that lead to the Registrar's office I muse, Cool, I only had to dodge three speeding cars in the parking lots to get here today. I walked into the Registrar's office needing to finalize my plans for graduation. Oh, if they say I have to stay another semester because I told my bowling teacher he was a jerk --I'II kill the lot of them. But for the first time in five years, every- thing comes off without a hitch. Five years, I thought. Five long 'SZ CQ if! years. The years slip by as I reminisce while walking up University Ave and into As- tros. It's suprising how easi- ly it is to slip into the fog as you suck back a couple of cold ones. I was just another snot-nosed clown when I went through Orientation. I was following my guide through South Campus and then I noticed something that would make me realize that college would be nothing like High School. There, amid the shady trees and flowing grass, by the frisbee players and guitar- toters were two girls of slightly plump proportions cuddling as the summer sun shone down brightly on their pimply faces. Matter of fact, that was the first time I used the phrase, Urghkphl! I was a good student for a while, until I joined my frater- nity that is. When I moved into the Frat house my grades went down but, my belt size went up. That was the first se- mester I got a .8 cum. Oh boy was that ever fun. The amount of beer I consumed that se- mester would have made Otis from Mayberry green with envy. Norm Benrimo O F. j
