THE REDWOOD 1979 T Contents he fat old lady drags her torn shopping bag up the aisle of the bus. With each gasp, droplets ot sweat arch off her brow and spatter the commuters on either side. She pushes out her bottom lip in concentration and puffs noisily. One blast sends a strand of her gray hair flying upwards wildly. As her bag thumps side to side against the seats, the riders cringe and draw back, but they have little to fear. She has her eye on only one seat on the bus. The seat next to you. As she huffs and curses her way towards you,. you reach for the emergency lever, but it is too late. She backs up to the seat, and then, in one sighing, creaking thump, she is next to you, engulfing you. Where ya goin ' ta, sonny? she asks, distractedly staring out the window. I ' m going to college, you say, I ' m going to the University of Santa Clara. That ' s right, sonny. You ' re doin ' the right thing, she clucks as she gropes her shopping bag for a tangerine. That ' s right, sonny. Get an education. Easily said by fat old ladies on buses. Easily said by parents, teachers and friends. Easily said by any of your self-styled mentors, for that matter. The question is, once at SCU, how does one get the best education? There are many things to learn, both in and out of the classroom. This yearbook attempts to show the variety of education available on campus. The rest is up to you. -D.B.
