PAGE TWO h~I~)~~C~);ilc1+~~ The Summer Of '6B Are all of you tired of being welcomed back? Frankly, it seems like real drudgery. I was beginning to think the sun didn't rise until at least 11:30 a.m. each day. Now I'm forced to haul it all out of bed at 7:00 or 8:00 a.m. every day and br ing it to class. It's unattractive. During the summer, I do, usually, two things. I either eat or sit at the beach and eat. Fascinating? Sure. But for some reason, my attention span gets shorter and shorter each week of the summer. I can usually read a chapter or two. I can sit and drink iced tea, read nearly a whole magazine and feel on ly the slightest hint of boredom. By the second couple of weeks, I can read half of a magazine, drink most of my iced tea, and remember some of what I read. By the last two weeks of summer, I've completely regressed to the summer of 1968 right before I began first grade. If I can look at the pictures of an Archie Comic book and remember any of what Veronica did, I'm doing fine. It's all senseless. And just when I get into that "swing" it's summer again. ONward and upward, folks. We do seriously welcome all of you back to the Collegian. I anticipate a year that will, hopefully, be more productive than my summer. It is at this point, early in the year, that I would like to extend an open in vitation to any of our readers that might have input, to stop into the Collegian office and discuss your ideas. If you have an article or an idea for an article, feel free to have it to us by the deadlines, which will be posted on the office door. The Collegian also welcomes Letters to the Editor, which are sub ject to editing, as are all articles submitted to the Collegian. I am sincere in my hopes that the Collegian will continue to be both a sounding board for the students, faculty, and ad ministration and an informative publication for all of those on campus. It is only with your input and support that this will be established. I won't reiterate my original "welcome back" but I will wish all of you luck luck with the coming year. When times get roughest always remember there is still the hope of summer.
