No parking space for the late commuter A Commuter ' s Life There is a part of the West Chester State which we have not mentioned until now. AUhough it may be overlooked by some and taken for granted by others, we rarely fail to encounter it during our daily excursions. For a great many of us this part of the campus is where we sometimes eat, study, sleep, and appear to live. Sur- prisingly, this integral part of campus life is known as the car. For over 1200 part-time students and many full-time students the car plays a sometimes all too familiar role in their life. The life of a com- muter is full of a variety of pleasant experiences to encounter. Among them are the joyous occasions of dealing with dead batteries and flat tires. The excitement of realizing that your class is ten miles and only five minutes away also adds to the normally common practice of driv- ing. Who could live without the op- portunity to add to muscle tone by rescuing your car from a four foot snow drift. And, of course, one could not forget nice afternoon drives spent looking for a parking space. Tree lined Church Street

NEWS REVIEW Our lives at West Chester are filled with papers, tests, friends, and general campus activities. Many of us go through days or even weeks without reading a news- paper or magazine or even watching TV. But as we all know, it is impossible to shut out the world around us and ever so often details of certain events or atrocities are filtered to us through classes, profs, or friends. In this section, we will attempt to put these events in perspective so that when we look hack we will not only remember what our campus was like but also what the outside world was like.
