Thursday, April 21, 1933 5 Daily Nebraskan Oppooojumnunes abound ami college Soon, thousands of students will be leaving this scho lastic microcosm. I am one of them. The world of college residence, a world away from the rest of society, has given me new understanding of a part of life 1 hadn't known. But that's what going to college is about. Right? According to some, particularly my old high school classmates, this is not right. I find myself still having to qeiena my educational pursuits when 1 encounter them Monica Osterbuhr on my pilgrimages back home to south central Nebraska. "1 make more than you do, I'll bet," is a favorite remark. "I have no desire to go to school." "Big college girl." Those are the statements. I hear this one often: "My parents couldn't afford to send me to college (be cause they gave me a $1,700 Camaro for high school graduation)." Some parents can't afford it and it's cruel to rub it in with a smirk. But parents aren't the only ones contributing to college education. A large number of students have part-time jobs. I don't think they are doing it entirely for pleasure, either. Many are working for minimum wage and no benefits. 1 take great pride in my educational endeavors and, although my jabs at campus life and residence hall living have been the basis for many of my columns, I wouldn't trade my lifestyle for anyone's - except Prince William's. Seriously, the atmosphere here is friendly, safe, secure and almost fantasy-like. (The fantasy is that we do get through the last days of school alive.) In the halls, students can set high goals for career plans and in aca demics, and reach those goals. They can cultivate close friendships and, it they're lucky, they can develop amorous relationships.

Nbr At UNL we are exposed to a variety of lifestyles and cultures. One learns that living in close quarters means learning the ropes of patience and sharing. It's problem solving at its finest. On-campus living is advantageous because it is the hub of cultural and news events in this city. If you enjoy lively arts, there are theatrical and musical performances and a continuum of exhibits and films at Sheldon Art Gallery. 1 wish I would have taken advantage of these events more than I have. The snack bar downstairs is also a hub of activity. Someone is diligently stationed downstairs in the after noons and evenings to give me the opportunity to become more familiar with the area of nutrition. It is an opportun ity to enjoy ice cream, candy, popcorn and juicy burgers. I only wish I would have taken the opportunity to use it more. Where else but on the campus would I get a chance to hear guest speakers from the PLO, Isreal, NASA and the international press? Numerous opportunities for competi tion in intramural and inter-collegiate sports are available here. Too bad I can't walk a straight line or I might have taken advantage of one of these. I am close to the downtown district. The rooms in the residence halls are furnished and my sheets and towels are laundered for me. The temperature inside the halls has been sublime this winter. In fact, the steam heat has made it a lot like the tropics. The cafeteria is always on schedule with three hot meals a day during the week. Students living on campus have access to the pool at Abel Hall. Security guards patrol the campus on a 24-hour basis. I also partially like the idea of a closely knit environment, as in the event of danger, all I would need to do is scream and someone will come running ... I hope . . . unless they think I'm kidding ... or they're sound asleep . . . The most favorable thing about living in a residence hall and going to school is that it gives me the occasion to meet interesting, charming and intelligent people from all over the world. (Too bad I didn't think of this para graph earlier in the year. My readership would have increased dramatically.) OFFICIAL PASSPORT PHOTOS 7 DAYS A WEEK NO APPOINTMENT 13th & R 48th &. Vine u . -5 V.
