Splish, Splash, Off to Class The long-awaited spring semester has finally arrived at Rehrend Campus, according to the office. I really don’t like to disagree, but it seems to me that if spring were here the sun could shine down on us directly, rather than having to push its way through snow clouds. If It were really spring, we’d see birds, grass, flowers, and the leaves on the trees as we came up the driveway, in place of the dirty piles of slushy snow covered with ugly, orange sawdust. There would be a spring in our step, rather than the leaden one we have from trying to walk down the giant steps of.the bridge. If it were really spring we’d hear the splash ing and diving sounds coming from the pool. The only sounds we hear now .are the snow plows running up and down the djriveway, and the chains on the cars clinking rhythmically to “We’re Having A Heatwave,” as they try (and often fail) to make it up Gospel Hill. All this is beside the point, and does nothing towards changing the name of the second semester from Spring Sem ester to the Polar Semester “Fingernail polish on'the tables, crumbs in the beds, clothes every where except in the closets!
