I can't believe it. Here at last in Oakland at the University of Pittsburgh playground of the stars. In a few short minutes my tour will begin and my dreams will become reality as the Campus bus takes me to the places where the stars live. work, and play. The first stop on my tour is the residence halls. It's bright and early in the morning as thousands of bn part actors hurry off to their sets with their scripts in hand. Biology. Chemistry. Political Science. Psychology. History. Math- scripts full of the most exciting dialogue imaginable. Amidst the hustle and bustle. I descend from the bus to take a closer look at where the stars live. I tour all the majestic estates-McCormick. Brackenridge. Amos. Holland Hall and finally the Towers with their exclusive penthouse rooms. I roam the halls hoping to catch a glimpse of my favorite star. In the room to the left. I find My Favorite Martian in his perpetual sky-high condition. His roommate, sleeper, begs for five more minutes... of sleep. Further down the hall The Incredible Hulk practices ripping off doors for his next film Don't Let Crime Carry You Away.” At the final stop of my residence tour, the Tower A Hot Pol Gourmet prepares for the days shooting of How to Make Roast Beef au Jus in a Hot Pot. After this thrilling demonstration. I board the bus to continue the tour and anxiously wait to see where the stars work. First stop- Hillman Library. Stars shine at Hillman any time of the day or night. Short, talk fat. thin! American, foreigni athlete, sports fan; everyone ends up at Hillman sometime. However, some stars overdo the Hillman routine and are here so often that they have their own private study Cubicle-Adorned with their favorite telephone numbers, obscenities, and anything else that inspires them. Next, the bus moves toward the Cathedral of Learning, the most renowned studio set at Pm. The bus stops here for a IS minute picture break. I race into the building with camera in hand, with a flurry of clicks and flashes I capture many memories of the stars. Hundred;,of them are here sleeping, eating, studying, socializing, playing cards, and waiting for their next rehersal of the stars next hit series Commuters 19?$. My IS minutes pass quickly and I head outside to reboard the bus. While exiling I stumble onto the set of Beach Party. The whole cast is there from frisbee throwers to sun bathers. It all seems so real that I seem to hear the crash of the ocean waves, but I'm tarred back to reality as the bus driver honks the horn signaling it's time to continue the tour. I board the bus and it embarks on the last leg of the tour where the star plays. Some stars play up at the Colosseum where Iwute force is the Name of the Game. Weekly, thousands of spectators gather to watch the Panthers maul their defenseless opponent. Fach star has his own way ot celebrating the week's victory. Some scope out the Greek action found on Fraternity Row. Others spend quiet evenings at their friends homes Zelda's. Danny's Peter's. Uncle Roy’s, and Macs. My lour comes to ns end and I reflect on my Close Fncounters with the Stars. I realize that even though their lives are glamorous, they are tust everyday people much like you and me. Before I depart I take one last look at star land. Who's that I see peering from the Cathedral?! ’ It's Uncle Wes director ot all this.
