You begin kicking freshmen around, pushing them down the stairs, and making them late for class. You laugh when they ask for directions. You're one of forty juniors break- ing into a lunch line. You laugh at the lowly freshman. reminding him that he will be a junior one day. Wayne Yingling Having to go to a new school in a new environment is one thing, but having to live there is another.
