CAMPUS VIEW A GLIMPSE OF UC The University of Cincinnati is a very large campus, both in size and population, with many possible areas for students to gather together or perhaps just to hang out and have a good time Perhaps the most popular place for this gathering is The Bridge”. One of the first lessons that incoming freshmen learn is that the Bridge is the place to be seen and to see others (especially others of the opposite sex). On those warm, sunny days during Fall, Spring and Summer quarters, the Bridge transforms into a mass of undergraduate ond graduate bodies who ore all talking, laughing and listening to music. If students ore very lucky they sometimes get to hear preachers in plaid polyester suits calling us ail sinners and throwing Bibles at those who need to be reformed Meanwhile. Hare Krishnas dressed in orange sheets quietly pass out brouchers and invitations to vegitarion dinners at the other end of the Bridge. What a place! Students are not the only ones to gather on the Bridge. Greeks, student organizations, and representatives of everything from Visa cards to local bars gather on the Bridge armed with information for their prospective members customers. These are wise people They know that if they want to be seen by students then the Bridge is the place to be. What is it that attracts students of all majors to the Bridge? Is there a magnet in the middle of the Bridge that pulls students to it? No. at least it is not in the blueprints for the Bridge The attraction of the Bridge will always remain a fond memory for University of Cincinnati alumni as well as a mystery.
