~~The special hang-out of everyone""ho has no special hang-out."On the other side are those "trolls" who resemble"freaks" in clothing and mannerisms, probablysmoke dope, and associate with others who "unionize"for only a small portion of the day. But they arenot "freaks", they are "trolls".The Draught Board spills 3.2 beer and glows red tothose drifters who wander through the Union on theirway to or from classes. This one room alone has no"trolls"; oftentimes it is empty, and as quickly asit fills at night it empties, spilling its soundsthrough the clear night air.In the Game Room are athletes of a sort, the pool,ping-pong and pin ball people, who meander about,changing positions and games daily. The time betweentheir classes is spent in one match or even a singlevolley.Upstairs, in the main lounge, are the "crashers",usually new each day. The previous night was spenthitching in from Iowa or L. A., or studying for an examor maybe they're just OD'ed. Behind them reside theintellectual elite, the Pioneer Room people, thefaculty, administrators, and students who eat inluxurious surroundings of avantgard paintings,walnut panel room dividers complete with plasticflowers, and carpeted walls that have a velvet effectfor the royal minds.This year the "trolls", more than anyone else, noticedthe changes in the physical structure of their home.After returning from summer vacation they noticedthat half of the upstairs lounge was housing TheEstablishment and other do-gooders in the mostbizarre-maze-complex known on the UPC campus.New faces took over positions that didn't even exist.AI was gone to another department and Mrs. Hill wasreplaced by a whole host of secretaries who took twoquarters to figure out exactly what-when-where-andwhythey were to do about whatever it was that theyhad to do.In the downstairs snack-bar, there was a newscramble-system making it easier than ever to ripthings off, which allowed even those who wereamateurs to try their luck and succeed. With thecoming of the scramble and the lowering of moralscame also a wider and better selection of foodstuffs,and the king of them all - soft-freeze ice-cream. Theold cafeteria line became a new delicatessen whosefood may not taste like Mr. Rosenbaums' - but thenwhat can you expect from a Methodist school?247
