 KACMftAl FBT1T LE Espan p imp matching wife, while you — you late bloomer, you — show up with a full head of spectacular steel gray locks, your lean tanned body rippling seduc- tively beneath your crisp Hart Schaff- ner Marx. And the lady you present — so what if you haven’t bothered to marry her — is a smashing 1990’s ver- sion of Raquel Welch. GRADUATE STUDENTS Graduate students are either military jocks, foreign students, nurds, dirty old men, little old ladies in tennis shoes, or public school teachers. The military jocks and school teachers make the best grades because the highly-struc- tured lifestyles to which they have become accustomed have groomed them for researching and categorizing countless reams of trivia — which is what graduate school is all about. The most expedient way to attack graduate school is fulltime without a lot of other encumbrances — like working for a liv- ing. Of course, if you’re not lucky enough to have an indulgent husband or wife who doesn’t mind supporting your professional student habit, you'll just have to do it the hard way — if you really think it’s worth it. Oh, well, how old would you be in 40 years if you didn’t do it? GRADUATION Despite the expectations built up during a student's years at U of T, graduation seems an anti-climax, somehow. You walk on stage, grab the paper, shake hands with some dude, and walk off. That’s it, folks. But as long as there are professors who enjoy parading their academic regalia and Miss American Pies who go limp when they hear Pomp and Circumstance, the exercise will remain. HALLS Our halls may not be ivy-covered, but that doesn't mean they don’t have character. What other university can 23

boast that crowneo heads of Europe once meandered through its halls? That Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders once danced with Cuban seno- ritas there while waiting to go to war? What other university has halls that look like a Moorish castle? And where else could you smoke live cigarettes while walking non-stop between the Spanish Colonial Room and the sci- ence lab without leaving the building? It INFIRMARY Whether to be sick or not is always an approach-withdrawal syndrome. If you check in at the infirmary, you might escape the anguish of a boring three-hour lecture totally without guilt. But after you wait for the nurse to find your card — wait for the nurse to take your temperature — wait for the doctor — wait for the diagnosis — you could be really sick. And by the time the doc- tor comes up with the prescription, you could be dead. JOURNALS Freedom of the press is cherished by every UT student. So that our voices can be heard campus-wide, we have our own newspaper, The Minaret, which reports weekly on all the doings under the 13 Moorish domes — all. that is. except anything having to do with the faculty, administration, drugs, racism, religion, violence or sex. Find- ing the official UT student house organ somewhat lacking in visceral ampli- tude. a group of nitty-gritty journalists have begun publishing a supplement they call The Difference. There was more to this commentary, but, alas, it was censored. KEG PARTIES From the dregs of fine old kegs comes the sap that makes you rich and famous in your old age. according to Frank Sinatra. But it's hard to believe 25
