The college student (as seen by
the non-college student) is a

dorm, a muscular athlete recruited
from some far-away small town,
U.S.A., or a clean-cut young fel
low hitchhiking home for a week
end. lie always lives on campus,
where the actioni is.
At Carolina, as at scores of other
schools, however, at least 50 per
cent of the studenLts commute from
city addresses. For them there are
no dorm corners or far-away
homes.
Town students face their own
set of unique problems. Transpor
tation, for instance. Some live
close enough to campus to walk.
Others havi, a wide choice of ve
hicles---hicycles. motorcycles, fam
y ily cars, farm machinery, roller
skates or buses. Anything that
rolls will do.
Vehicles require coins, however.
and few students are over-supplied
with coins. Not every student's
parents are over-supplied with
coins. either. For some town stu
dent:s. particularly those support
ing themselves. gas and oil come
beo'tre food. a pretty unhealthy

Town students have been known
to have fits and tantrums trying
to park within two miles of cam-;
pus. Even with a registered car,
it is nearly impossible to park in
a student lot or on some of the
streett near campus at certain
hours of the day. Research pin
points these hours to between 8
a.m. and 5 p.m., give or take an
hour.
Even at home there are prob
lems. While dorm students are
distracted front studies by school:
activities and campus life, town
students face family activities and
home life. At home there are doz
ens of exciting things like baby
sitting and dishwashing to keep
one from hitting the books. Small
brothers and sisters are rarely
helpful.
Even facing other students is not'
always easy. Dorm students have
a talent for making home and
mother sound like diseases.
Would you believe home and
mother have their advantages?
Mothers are more understanding
than housemothers at times and
are al.-o good for things like sew
ing on buttons. They cook better
than Slater, too, as a rule.
Tow%n students don't usually
have to sign out when stepping
outside for a breath of fresh air.
Nor do they have to pack a suit
ease when they get the urge to
.,pend a quiet weekend at home
w%ith the family. l)ur;ng holidays
.hey get home quicker, stay home
longer. Most of them don't have
to do their own laundry and never
%% rite home for money.
Hut they also spend a lot of time
wishing they lived a restricted
vaimpus lift. with the other under
privileged 50 per cent.

Carolina St

Staff Writer
Why is it, when Carolina stu
dent.s could spend a quiet, com
fortable, safe weekend on campus,j
they choose to beat a straight path
to the beach in droves ? But then
the same question could be applied
to mountain climbers, mine-sweep
Lrs, and highway patrolmen. The
hazardous excitement that is cre
ated by taking a chance is the
,ompulsion to go.
So, bright and as early as their
last class on Friday lets out, the
students are off. A few make it
to Five Points without car trouble,
but inevitably some of the vehicles
will get sick. A few will go into
a coma while others respond to
tinkering, beating, and violent
language. When the solenoid in
the starter has been replaced, or
,he carberator adjusted. the safari
resumes.

To Relax
beach, they respond vigorously to
the potent stimuli of saltwater in
the air, sun, and hundreds of cars,
jeeps, suzukis, tricycles, etc. Con
federate flags go up, radios blast
out with such renditions as "Bat
man and Grandmother," and gen
eral Carolina enthusiasm is un
leashed (i.e.. as might be found
at a panty raid).
Slowly, this unmitigated en
thusiasm fades as they ride up
and down the rows of "NO VAC
ANCY" signs or turn down offers
of $6 a day rent for a roof over
their heads. But they always seem
to find a three-room apartment
which a,erages out to $2.10/day
apiece.
The fun begins with the transfer
of es-entials to the living quarters.
So the bottles, cans, cigarettes,
sunglasses, baby oil, peanut but
ter, church keys. towels, rollers (as
the case may be). and a few
clothes are dragged in.
During the next few days, time
i, spent "roasting the bud," get
:ing the hair to look like Phyllis
Diller's, and g e n e r al I y being
"happy." Nobody thinks they are
getting enough sun until water
h!isters suddenly appear. Then
the sun is momentarily cursed for
taking advantage of them.
The stomach usual. suffers the
most from these weekend jaunts.
[lot dogs, hamburg;::-s. peanut but
ter sandw iches, and heer just don't
constitute a soothing or well
roinded diet. At least it is a
cheap diet and nobody passes out
from hunger.
And then there are always the
"Superc,ck heroes" who think
jumping off the side of the pier
nto broKen beer bottles at 3:30
a.m. ,r runnintt into the moonlit
waves fully clothed is exciting.
Some students regress to the
y nder years and ride all the
!ai-rai-ing rides at the Pavilion,
ke the "Xild Mouse" or the
.\erry-(o- Round." The group in
ev\itably at-racts attention as they
-tagge r up on the giraffes, ele
'han:s. and lions -inging "I.W Bot
I!es of lieer on the Wall" while
holding cotton candy in their left
hand.
Of cour.,e. man. students are
much more conser% ative in their
actions. They quietly- sit around
w ith a guitar, bottles, cans, etc.,
until the wee hours of the morn
ing when they slowly fade away.
All in all it is a great strain on
the stability, of the student to re
cover from their weekend of fun
and relaxati.n. The hour must ap
proach wthen they are once more
'oluimbia-hound. It is back to the
Moks and all that. The sunburn,
cut feet. striawe hair, mistreated
,t niachs, lack -e irc led eyes, and
gfenera: fatigue defin itch' do( not
conit ribute' to an ''atmo sphe re fo r
earning."
