Saturday night and we face the first decision ofthe school year. . . should we go to the travelogue iilmmortal Polandii or do we go to hLetis Make a Deal? We dress up like fools and go to Village Hall where we act like such. he Great Pumpkin makes its debut at WWC as the ID cards are unveiled in House and Gardens orange with deep green validation ac- cents tto be later transformed to au- tumn colors with browns during winter quarteo. If wdre in Sittner, we find out that equality has finally come to WWC. . . thereis doorlock at 10. If you park your car on the street, your car is towed away after midnight, and it,11 cost you $50 to get it back. Ifyou,re especially hungry for SAC food twhich blossomed with Cheesecakes and carrot cakes, and a well-stocked salad bar this yeari you could spend $20 a month on food, instead of the former $10. Of course, thatis not including the lodge issue which resurrects itself and dies, kind of. Or, the Cambodian fund drive. Or, the two month crip- pling ofthe kiosk as its glass windows fall out and break. ut, see, that,s all in the future. The best thing to do at a time like the beginning ofa school year is to hike offa ways with a bunch ofkids and a few guitars, Sing some songs. Eat some corn roasted in a fire. Then, as the sun blazes down towards a happy picturesque end to the day, walk back. It somehow makes the year to come a lot easier. A FIRST WEEK IS POLISHED BY A SUNSET HIKE INTO THE DAYS OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. MOUNTAINASH1980 - 7 j

We were going to 7 7 cu can,t say it much better school. And we full realized that it wasnlt going to be that simple. Within the next nine months ofadvanced educa- tion, we were going to cough up or expend five to six grand to receive such learning. We would have a pos- sibility to devour some 609 give or takel meals in Kellogg Hall. We would be required to attend 108 wor- ships, we could miss a total of nine chapels without placing ourselves within the risk of Citizenship proba- tion. There would be a healthy hand- ful ofpapers that we would do at the last minute. And there would be flam- ing romances, casual friendships. It was going to turn out to be enough to fill at least five Hallmark cards. But, you donlt think about that in hot dusty September. There,s just registration to think about tyou know - llhot, sweaty lines wind their way through the confusion of a year be- ginning? and that was enough on its own. If you were a frosh, you got to come early, and watch all your tal- ented and not so talented compatriots perform in a program called Freshman Night Light tnobody knows why they call it thatl. Every- body got to slop watermelon juice and seeds down their chin at the an- nual watermelon feed on the front lawn. On a Thursday night, without studies breathing down our neck, we strike out at Mexican pifiatas, and swarm over the sprawling candy to get our fair share. We come up against 6 - MOUNTAINASH1980

It contains, simply, the meaning of our days. Its splashes, freezings, fillings and unfill- ings acutely mirror what we are, and what we are to become. Who passed her empty depths this winter Without the pang of emptiness striking deep into their own souls also?
