l was a little surprised that we really did play hide- and-seek. It was one of those things you talk about with your frosh hall, saying that it would be a great idea to try it. But there we were during Finals week, sitting on one of those purposeless wooden benches in the Science Center, setting the ground rules. It was a little before midnight e a perfect time for a hide- and-seek game. I teamed with my friend Tom, and at first we didn't have a clue where to hide. We tried the roam technique. We didn't hide anywhere. We just snuck around and ran like crazy when we heard footsteps. This approach was nerve-racking, although it made for great exercise. We both got paranoid after awhile, so we re- sorted to hiding in different places. We hid in unlit rooms and back hallways mostJy. Our favorite spot was a nicely furnished room on the fourth floor that had a conference table and a kitchen. Of course, we couldn't see much of the room tor use the kitchent because it was so dark. 80 we killed most of the time talking about our plans for the summer and reminiscing about the year. We also spent a lot of time peeking out the window of the door, which conveniently let us see the hallway but did not allow any outsiders to see into the office. Once, we saw a couple of our friends peer through the window when we were standing on the other side. Tom and I thought we were dead meat. But for some reason, mey didn't try to enter the room. Eventually a group that was it found us in our executive suite. There were some excellent hide- and-seekers in our midst. One group told us later that they hid in the telephone booths on the first floor. Another group hid in the lobby near the comer of Church and Pine. When we played our second game four months later, we were experienced hide-and-seekers. We knew to press all the buttons in the elevators so that the seekers couldn't figure out where we got off. We also learned to take roundabout ways to the hideouts, using the freight elevator and littIe-known stairwells. My partner for this game was Liz, my girlfriend. We mostly hid in the labyrinth of the basement, sticking with a hideaway until caught. We rarely got caught, which was fortunate because we weren't great seekers. The best place we hid was behind some big boxes near the loading dock. Once, we heard foot- steps far down the hall that slowly approached. We couldn't believe that someone was going to find us. We kept whispering that lit would turn around be- fore reaching us. But the footsteps kept getting louder . . . After what seemed like an hour, the person saw us e it was a janitor. He was shocked to see us there, and we have often wondered what he must have thought about seeing a male and female huddled together there on a weekend night looking sheepish. What a great date! It was a great spot, but we didn't hide there again. e by Neil Blicher

Here I sit again on the steps of Olin. The sky is crystal blue and my book is open in my lap, my back against a column. Here in the steps of Olin lies the middle ground between work and play. I perch my shades against my nose e cool - and lay back into the sunshine. My fin- ger marks a word mid-sentence- I'll get back to it . . . after I watch the frosh on the way to check their mail, after I contemplate the trac- tor ripping up the lawn, after I stop the friend who's walking by to talk. Here on the steps of Olin are all of the plea- sures and none of the guilt: the frozen yogurt of mental life. My head hits marble as I lean into the blue el have plenty of time to do this reading. It's just too nice outside to be inside, and my proximity to the stacks marks my dili- gence, we all know. I'm really at the libraryl can say I was here all day. I pick up my book and hold it in my view: it blocks sci-li from this perspective but the breeze makes up for it for sure. by M.H. Newberger
