edna: the
poor student's
philosopher
Have you been sitting around thinking,
"I've done everything on this Campus that
could possibly be done to keep from going
mad with boredom." And now you're
ready to throw yourself out of a third
story window for lack of excitement? You
haven't really lived until you've done all of
the following:
Fed the chipmunks on the soccer field
road.
Sat in the grass and watched the bugs
crawl over your sneakers.
Gone to the lounge to watch SESAME
STREET with the sophomore boys.
Shared a coke with a friend.
sat under a tree and wrote a letter to
someone far away.
Visited Tricia in the COLLEGIAN
office.
Followed the Dean around campus to
see what HE'S BEEN UP TO!
Taken up a conversation with the
Security Police.
Drawn faces on all the acorns.
Counted how many leaves had fallen
from one tree in an hour.
If you have never done any of these
things, you should jump out of that
window- but if your imagination is still
working, get a few friends together and
have some fun. In Hazleton fun is not
where you find it; it's how you invent it.
TAKE UP A LOST CAUSE TODAY!
