DAYS LIKF THIS Dear Mom and Dad, How’s everyone doing? I a doing pretty well this spring semester. Today I got back my test in marketing. I did all right. The last few questions gave me a little trouble, but you know me, I always come through. I attended an Intellectually stimulating lecture in Humanities I. My professor discussed ancient Greece and the vast land, of Mesopotamia. He called on me during class to check my knowledge on the subject. I felt so honored I was speechless, to say the least. After a delicious lunch in the cafeteria, I attended French class. Je parle francais comm ce, comm ci. This means I speak French so-so. My drill partner, Bertrand, asked me if I wanted to go to a basketball game with him. I thought this was considerate of him, so I semi- generously accepted. Oh, Mom and Dad, I have a favor to ask. Could I go to Daytona for Good days accompany the bad, and keep Brenda Peiffer in a sane condition. r%c « fry fXmJ Ivegrtt Enthusiasm wasn't a common emotion seen in the food center towards the end of the semester.

The only catch is that I am a little short on money. I think the reason is because my books cost more this semester than any other. My friends and I have picked a motel of reasonable cost. Since all of us have started our diets this week, food should not be a problem at all. So don’t plan on me being home for spring break. I will, however, be home next weekend to do some laundry. I have to go to class right now. Send my love to Sally and Billy. Love and kisses, P.S. Send money — and I forgot to mention that they designated me to drive for the trip, so I need the car. Talk to you later. — Maureen Hood

Dear friend, Hi, what’s up? You wouldn’t believe my life right now. I failed my second marketing test and I will have to get B’s on the next two to at least pull a D- out of this class. Maybe I will have to change my major to basket weavingl That’s not all! I was sitting in my Humanities I class and I was talcing a little nap. Really, I was Just resting my eyes, when my professor said, Ms. Johnson, could you please enlighten us with one of the major philosophies of ancient Greek civilization?” ‘‘Ah .. not really,” I said. Needless to say I'm not expecting an A in that class. While eating lunoh (if that’s what you call It), I was looking for my main scope — you know, this person I admire from afar. He Is about 6 foot two Inches, sandy blond hair and blue eyes that would make you melt. Anyway, I was coming out of the lunch line and I accidently bumped Into him. I mean bumped as In spilling my pop and salad all over his gray cardigan and my favorite blouse! We got a standing ovation from the cafeteria. I was so embarrassed I didn’t know what to say. But you know something, he didn’t get mad at me. Instead, he asked me out. I can’t believe it! Oh, guess what? I’m going on spring break with the girls. You know what will be down there — millions upon millions of guys. I can’t wait. I wrote Mom and Dad about helping finance the trip. Cross your fingers and hope for the best. Love always, — Maureen Hood n Studying take so much time and energy many have to take nap breaks, phmo by DmJ wspur. Mornings seem to be every college student's pet peeve.
