Who do I like? That's con fidential...or, at least, off the record! Anyway, I want to offer some advice to anyone who is interested. If not, skip this paragraph, but you'll be sorry because you'll miss your chance to win my '79 Datsun 210. This year is a new start (this probably applies more to freshmen than to sopho mores), so make it some thing you'll never forget. College living is what you make it; it can be the best time or the, worst time of' your life. Of course you have to give your own time and enegry; you can't just take. Get involved with more than just classes. It's not too late to join most of the clubs; don't spend all your time just studying and/or partying. Introverts, you're going to dry up and blow away like a page of statistics. Oh sure, you may maintain a 4.0 average, but will it be memorable? Or will it be a piece of paper that states that you're qualified to work at a good-paying job for forty-five years until you can retire and die? Can we talk? Lighten up! I'm having the time of my life! You can, too, for less than it would cost to take your parents to McDonalds. I am a full-time student with sixteen very difficult credits. I had twenty to begin the semester, but the course load was too much, even for a budding genius like me. My phone number is 459-1906 but you probably won't get me unless you call between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. If you have any ques tions, call me (no col lects) or put a note in my mailbox, which I'll check every day. I am in the com puter room (work) every day, and my working times are posted on K-121's door. Unless I die or get mono, I'll be in during those times.

I can type as fast as you talk (unlessyousta rttalkingextremelyincred iblyfastasfastasyoucangoand thenthiswillhappen), and - if I have time outside the paper, I'll offer my ser vices to the public. My rate is $9.00 per hour, mistakes corrected on my own time. One-pagers or less are freebies if I have time, but after that, the money starts flowing my way. No credit. I'm running out of space and it's almost four in the morning. I quit! Good luck to everyone with the grades. Keep on studying, keep on writing, and keep on partying!
