STUDENT

               LIFE


             No  single word  can  describe  student  life  here  at  Allentown  College.
           Many  students  here  at  AC  lead  diverse  lives.  Nursing  students  must
           travel  to  various  area hospitals  for  clinical,  athletes  take  morning  classes
            in  order to  make  practice  in  the  afternoon  and  members  of  various
            organizations  must  arrange their schedules  in  order to  make  important
            meetings.
             However,  in  order to  give  our  readers  a  general  idea  of  what  the
            tgpical  student  may  do  on  a  typical  day,  we  have  provided  a  little
            scenario  depicting  what  mag  occur.
             A  typical  dag  for  an  AC student  consists  of  rolling  out  of bed  in  a  pair
            of  boxer shorts  and  a tee-shirt,  throwing  on  a  sweatshirt  (reversed,  of
            course)  and  walking  what  seems  like  a  mile  to  Dooling  Hall.  Here,  the
            student  participates  in  various  classes  ranging  from  microbiology,  to
            English  literature to  geo-politics.
             Alter classes,  the  student trudges  another mile to  McShea  Center to
            dine  at the exquisite  Cafe  McShea.  However,  upon  arrival  he  discovers
            that  he  has  lost  his  ID,  so  it’s  off to  see  Barb Young  for  a  temporary.
            Upon  concluding  a  wonderful  meal,  our tgpical  student  travels  back to
            Dooling  for  get  another  intriguing  hour  of  learning.
             Late  afternoon  involves  catching  a  few  of the  soaps  and  relaxing  until
            <1:30  at  which  time  he will  travel  back to  Cafe  McShea  only  to  discover
            that  hot dogs  (a.k.a.  grilled  franks  or boiled  frankfurters)  are  on  the
            menu  once  again.
             As  evening  approaches,  the  student  will  find  himself  at the  newly
            erected  Trexler  Library  or  at the  Computer Room  fighting  for  access  to  a
            terminal.  U/hen  11:00  rolls  around,  it  is time  to  go  back to  the  dorms.
            However,  this  does  not  mean  bedtime;  this  means  it  is  time to  run to The
            Coopersburg  Diner for some  real  food.
             Sleep  comes  around  1:00  or Z:00  in  the  morning  after  all  the  gossip
            has  been  exhausted  and  the  Love  Connection  goes  off the  air.
                                                                        Jim  Ferris,  Colleen Jordan  and  Stacie  Brooks  ham  it  up!
             The  next  dag  follows  in  much  the  same  fashion;  however  if  he  is  lucky,
            he  may  find  that  pierogies  are  being  served  at  lunch.
