Mike Sharkey's Tip of the Week
By Mike Sharkey

With students and faculty scrambling to class in
the morning, or scrambling to leave the campus at
the end of the day, or even scrambling to get lunch
in the afternoon, pedestrians find themselves in
mortal peril when attempting to cross the many
roads that cut through Behrend's campus.
A single guy almost feels like he is playing
Frogger when trying to cross over from the Erie lot
over to Reed, or crossing Jordan Road. Commuters
are in too much of a hurry to care for the welfare of
their fellow students, and only in extraordinary cir
cumstances will a driver actually yield and let a
pedestrian cross the road. In order to avoid the
embarrasing situation of being stuck on the corner,
waiting for traffic to subside, I offer several tips that
could help:

-Make sure you leave early enough to avoid the
last-minute rush when classes start and end. If you
get to the parking lot at an odd hour, such as
9:35a.m. instead of 9:50a.m. (when classes start at
10am). Odds are, there will he less traffic either
coming or going, and crossing will he easier then.
-Wait for an attractive male or female to attempt
a crossing first, then TAILGATE THEM!
-There are strengths in numbers. If you see a
group of students, follow them. It's likely that you
will be able to cross with them.
Do not attempt to cross without looking. I am sur
prised how some students will cross with their
heads down, talking on their cell phones, expecting
their hurried and tardy peers to slow down and stop
for them. Luckily for those on cell phones, they are
usually attractive, so the second tip applies to
them... luckily.
