At times duringthe past four years the Student Union has resembledan overpopulated monkey cage in a weirdzoo for homo sapiens; at times the dorms seemedto cavort in various stages of dress or undress; attimes a class became a nightmare of tiers of facesall staring blankly at an equally blank, equally coldisolated face ... There are people all around meand yet I'm alone . . .But then someone else came along and said tome, "out of loneliness I will fashion a song; andwhen I find someone who can hear my song, weshall sing together." I also remember much fashioningof song and much singing during the past fouryears. At times a smile became a friendship; attimes a job well done was acknowledged and gratitudewas expressed; at times the song was heardand loneliness was replaced by love.Maybe that's what college is all about -loneliness and love; maybe, in fact, that's whatit's all about. ·72
