Howtohavetunwhenthere'snothingtodo

I remember way back to my freshman year sitting in my dark, damp cell in Xavier Hall on a weekend. I was thinking that college should be four years of unlimited fun and opportunity. However, I could not believe that there was nothing to do on campus on a Friday night I had the same dilemma every time a weekend came along. The ironic part of all of this is that there is plenty to do off campus, you just have know where to look for it

Last Thursday night, I went to a bar in Delaware called Sala Salu. That's right, I went to Delaware. My friends and I found a driver and we went to see the band Brothers Past. I had one of the best nights in my college career thusfar.

In light of this, I have a little list prepared to insure you have a good time off campus on a weekend.

1. Find somebody with a car. This is key.

2. Make sure that they are not drinking or else your cat will miss you.

3. Get a copy of the City Paper, this will help guide you in finding someplace to go.

4. Hit the ATM machine, because money is a good thing to have.

5. Bring a camera, to prove that you did not stay home all weekend.

Also, it's nice to have memories of I something you did.

6. Go there, but make sure to leave your cat at home. Most places , have a "no cat'' policy.

7. Don't leave your cat without to commend them for letting college kids be themselves. Nice work! Now to the business of squash. It's awesome. For those of you who take advantage of our beautiful Dixon Center, you can find me in the squash courts most of the time. If you don't take advantage of the Dixon Center, you should. This college, even though it may be overpriced, has some pretty cool facilities to use. This college is getting better and better by the day. Pretty soon I won't have anything to write, considering most of the articles I write don't have that much to say. This article is not all good news, however. a good time. Fill his milk dish with beer and the cat will figure things out for himself.

After you get home from your great night out on the town, you can tell all your friends you went off campus and they will be impressed (this is one of the reasons you brought a camera, just in case there are any skeptics in the group). Don't fall into the trap that I did my first-year. Go out and have a good time.

I'll bet you are all waiting for me I to do my weekly bashing of public safety. It's been a pretty quiet week for our boys in blue. In fact, I want ,

Just last week, I was walking to the dining hall with a friend after a good game of squash when we saw a blue bullet come screaming around the comer by Grace Hall. This bullet was none other than our very own President Iadarola disobeying the stop sign and going WAY over the allowed speed limit, almost killing me and my friend. So I say, if the president can do it, then we can do it.

From a letter to campus minister Arlene Smith:

Dear Arlene,

On behalf of the eight older neighbors who received help from Cabrini students, thank you. Our office has received several calls from clients, praising the work that was done, the friendliness and helpfulness of the students and how much they enjoyed having youthful people in their homes. The students washed walls, cut lawns, trimmed bushes, sorted through years of accumulated "stuff" and did general housekeeping.

Many student evaluations of this day have been returned to us. I value all the comments. Several expressed a need to provide more information about the person they will be helping. Perhaps next year I could come to Cabrini, give an overview of the day and the peo- pie they will be helping and students could leave from the school. This would probably save 30 minutes to travel to Newtown Square and allow more time for discussing individual's chore assignments.

Sincerely,

Sherry Collins, Director Chore Connection

The things in which the child loves remain in the domain of the heart until old age. The most beautiful thing in life is that our souls remain hovering over the places where we once enjoyed ourselves.
