September brought its heat, its classes, its bonfires, and its football games. The first pep rally, held just before the game with Miami University, was nationally televised, and the students turned out in force. They brought banners and pennants which exhorted the team to win its game and their mothers to send money. Coeds and cheerleaders swelled the throng, adding a touch of glamour to the boisterous crowd. At the first football game, the exuberant and optimistic students arrived early, in order to reserve a seat from which they could easily see the predicted slaughter. The students’ enthusiasm remained with them throughout the band’s performance and the pre-game activities, then turned into a dull despair as they saw the wrong team being slaughtered, and the disappointed faces began to dot the stands.

has definite plans to attend graduate school, often considers himself lucky to find a fob as a laboratory assistant. A Ph.D. candidate in any field of science is considered a duffer if he does not have some sort of government research grant to cover his tuition and pay most of his living expenses, while graduate students in the humanities and social sciences are forced to work on their own and attend part-time classes. The result of University expansion and the academic plums received by the scientific fields of research work has been another lost generation. Amid the clicking of computer relays, the rumble of bulldozers, and the quoting of construction costs in the million-dollar bracket, the undergraduate still exists. He is often confused, lonely, and lost, feeling alone in a world which is not of his making. He may not be neglected, but he often feels that way. His ninth-floor advisor ends his private conference as quickly as possible, and as the student leaves, he imagines he can hear the computer whirring on the floor below him. He finds himself in lecture courses with two hundred other students and referred to by a seat number instead of his name. He is thrown in with a group of strange people from all over the earth whom he does not know and who do not know him. His instructors, pressed for time, often find it convenient to brush off his questions with a suggestion that the student work on his own and find out the answer for himself. His classmates begin to form dormitory cliques, to join fraternities and sororities, and to become active in student organizations. He looks about himself for something that will provide an aim or goal to his life, for something that will give him a purpose. This something may be a booth in the Tuck Shop, a girl, or a desk on the publications floor, but, hopefully, he finds it. If he does not, he soon learns that Pitt is no place for anyone who has a trace of apron strings around his waist. Although the undergraduate is the lowest man on the academic totem pole, although he is often neglected, he is still the vital force which brings the University to life, and this is his book. This is his story, seen through his eyes, and told in his words.
