Life passing by 21 -year-old; remembers happy teen years By Chuct Strinz In a fit of nostalgia (which is still popular and probably will be when people in the '90s look back on the '60s and 70s to inspect the '30s), I jumped on my bike last week and rode down to the Centennial college. I lived at the former Centennial residence hall during my freshman year. Having hung around there when I was a senior in high school, I feit I lived there then, too. Lots of happy memories, folks, lots of 'em. Of cburse, when I lived at the center I was so happy to get away from my home town that I could put up with the bureaucratic bunk dormies must tolerate in order to survive (open door policy, rotten food, no beer, etc.). Most of the time we managed to live like normal human beings (closed doors, Arby's, hidden bottles of Jack Daniels, etc.). But last, week, as I left the room of a friend who had returned to the fold, I decided to make a quick swing past my old quarters. As I examined familiar doors and unfamiliar names, a friendly fellow n amed Doug began talking with me. He asked if I was living on the floor; I said no, I was Hiving in the past. Doug had just turned nineteen and in an old was rlnnJnn to Annano English sport known to Americans as bar-hopping. He invited me to meet him and as many 19-year-old friends as he could dig up, and "we would all go help him celebrate. . Doug's older sister had drawn up a list of 1 3 drinking establishments, all within three blocks of each other. Ah, nostalgia, memories life has passed me by at 21 . When I turned 19, people 20 years and older could drink. The following June I moved to Minneapolis where the drinking age was 21. July brought the age in Nebraska down to 1 9 and, a month after I returned to Lincoln, Minnesota's legal age dropped to 19. So it goes. Now that I'm 21 I'm old enough to drink anywhere in America. I'm also beginning, to lose my hair, stomach, and appreciation for wild living. I was too tired to go drinking with Doug last week. But I did help him eat the birthday cake his mom had sent him. Thanks, Doug. Thanks, Mom. ', r v & tf i & if " s J Till Li mm L a W i 1 1 J At 2. 3:30, 11. 12:30,5,6:30,8,9:30 tin nur likincD ill 4 1 - r . ., ir . inks' t i f ' -v' 5?.ir- ' "Til. . , i, ft.
