■ It has been said that an urban campus cannot be very green, grassy or beautiful. But obviously the University of Cincinnati was never taken into consideration when that statement was made. For a campus located in the center of a thriving city like Cincinnati, CC has a beauty of its own. Although we arc not overflowing with large grassy quads, nor arc we blessed with the luxury of having a lake or two on campus, we do have a great many things to be proud of. Facing Clifton Avenue is one of our most dominating and well- known buildings — McMicken Hall. To most Cincinnati resi- dents and UC students, McMicken is the symbol of the Universi- ty. Standing high atop one of the few stretches of grass we are SEASONS ON CA MPUS The beauty of L'C shows through the changing seasons. . , .. .

Old Chemistry and Swift Hall border the nicest and most relaxing square of campus which is not accessible by auto, and that makes it seem all the more collegiate. Our campus now is a blend of the old and the new. We see Lindner Hall, the Geology Physics building, and the newly planned Multi-purpose athletic center, which are some of the new additions to our campus.

 The Bridge! What is it? As freshmen, we all questioned its existence and its meaning. But we quickly learned the Bridge is the place to be. especially during fall and spring quarters, the Bridge's busy seasons. Most ol us remember a different Bridge than the one we now have the Bridge before the fall of '85, before the “dry Bridge. A few beers from the Rhine Room, a few friends and a sunny day seemed to call even the best of students from the classroom and onto the walkway. It was a can't-miss chance to scope the rest of campus. The no-alcohol polic instituted on campus in September 1985 almost halted a UC tradition but the Bearcats came through. The Bridge is still the same center of campus activity and univer- sal meeting place, just without the beer. Most have adjusted, although you still can see some daring students from the “old school smuggling a sip or two. The Bridge isn't just a social gathering place; it s also some- what of a learning place. We've all been waylaid and perhaps instructed by preachers, protesters, demonstrations, registrations, and even Mare Krishnas. The Bridge also makes it easier to get around campus its initial purpose when it was built so long ago. We all get to know and love the Bridge. The freshmen who ask in the fall. “What is the Bridge? end up by spring quarter calling to their friends, “See you on the Bridge! CAMPLS 29
