Anderson Hall Many people believe Anderson hall represents the most beautiful struc- ture on campus. Originally know as the building for education majors on- ly, it has, in recent years, expanded its curriculum to accomodate not only future teachers, but also Scientists, Psychologists and future business leaders.

Anderson Hall ' s Nocturnal Animal It is the day of the big math test. You have prepared well: last night ' s cram session ended early. You slept comfort- ably, and awoke with a positive attitude, boosted by an invigorating breakfast. While sipping your coffee over the morning newspaper, you find that your horoscope predicts a surprise in your financial future and a new love on the horizon. The sun is shining and your car starts. You arrive at school and find a parking-space on the first trip around the block. You enter the building, and go upstairs. There is no one in the room, so you sit down for a few last minutes of studying. After a while, others begin to trickle in. Tired souls. Obviously they are not as well prepared as you. Smart you — sure, go ahead, smile. The class quickly fills, and you understand that the moment you have prepared for is closing in. The professor enters with the tests tuckerd under his arm. Tension swells in your classmates, but you are calm. You reach into your bookbag for those long, yellow Eberhard-Fabers you paked away last night. Smart you — wouldn ' t fall for that old trick. You roll their smooth, hexagonal bodies in your hand, murmuring an incantation as you follow along the engraved lettering with your thumb- nail: E-B-E-R-H-A-R-D-F-A-B-E-R-N-0-2 . It ' s a sexual excitement that you feel while tickling their firm, pink erasers. Racing toward the other end, you anticipate the prick of their sharp leads to send you into graphite ectasy! Oh, the prick! The prick! The — where the hell ' s the prick? Stupid you — forgot to sharpen them. Immediate panic. You heart leaps to strangle your tonsils. You realize where you are: good God, Anderson Hall! Quick, think! Uh, excuse me, but do you have an, uh, extra pencil? Gee, no, I only brought one, sorry. Sorry? Bitch — doesn ' t she understand your dilemma? No one has seen a trace of shavings in Anderson for years, and she ' s sorry. Sweat beads pop out of you forehead. Your tongue is as dry as a dirty rug. Strange mocking voices rattle inside your head. — Sure. Didn ' t you hear? They were all melted down to make helmets for the army during World War II. — Nobody ' s seen ' em; they ' re collector ' s items. — Never seen one during the day, but I ' ve seen a couple in my night class — I think they ' re nocturnal. Enough time is wast- ing. A decision must be made. You bolt from your seat and head for the hallway as visions of baby seals, drowning men, sinking ships, parachutes that don ' t open, and smiling exgirlfriends crowd your reeling mind, driving you onward. Your search is laughably futile. But wait! There is one room you have forgotten. Hurry; you have time yet. You burst in on its lone occupant, who is startled by your frenzied appearance. Tell me, or I ' ll kill you! Does this room have a — He sees the splintered pencils in you shaking fists. No. do you have a knife then? Or a razor blade? Or a beaver for Christ ' s sake? Sorry. You are a doomed man. Might as well write that math test in blood, because you ' ll never find a pencil-sharpener in Anderson Hall. By Brad Sewell 19
