4 .x... Q ,Z X any , was scared. It was Sep- tember, 1985, and I was a freshman. I was so sure that everyone else was a second year student. And the professors just had to be monsters like they told me in high school. Timidly, I walked into the commons. All those students looked so cool and confident. Little did I know, soon I would have the casualness - it was natural. Now, as a second year student, Iwish I would have known how simple it was. To fit in, one must know the basic student rules. These are not written rules, but should be fol- lowed just the same: l. No one must pay at- tention to intellectual shows on the televi' sion in the commons. These include: Hour Magazine, Donahue, and Mr. Rogers. 2. To communicate with others, one must watch music videos, soap operas, Beverly Hillbillys, Wheel of Fortune, and Gomer Pyle, USMC. 30 PEOPLE .,,f ,W WX 3. The Ping Pong table, video machines, and pinball machines must constantly stay in use. If you see a video machine get- ting cold, it is your duty as a student, to get it operating again. 4. Students must look at clocks every five min- utes to properly dread the beginning of class. When that dreaded hour ap- pears, students should ask them- selves, 'tis Psycholo- gy really more impor- tant than ping pong? 5. And lastly, students must pollute their bodies with Coca- Cola and f or coffee at 8:30 in the morning. Thatis what Hilda gets paid for! It may all seem so com- plicated, but it works out fine if you just smile and look like you are having fun. Before you know it, you have attracted friends and even the faculty seems human -- some of them, that is. . . , Helen Markle
