MICHALAK Life in College View (Hungry Heights) for married veteran stu dents is far from a dull affah*. The chief difference between ca det life and the married veteran’s life is this: The cadet usually has a roommate whom he refers to as “old Lady.” The married veteran has a roommate too, but he does not call her “old Lady.” Transportation is a problem for the College View dweller. Chief mode of getting about from apart ment to the campus is by bicycle. Another trusty form of trans portation is the age-old custom of walking. Just pick ’em up and put ’em down. Eventually this slow Aggieland 1949 Bonfire Final Review Reveille Review Spirit Signature process gets the book toter to his classroom in time to keep from being tardy. Of course the boys who drive cars are not to be forgotten. If it were not for them, the Hungry Heights dwellers—future executiv es now mind you—would have to do more walking than they do. These student car owners drive ja lopies ranging from the almost an tique Model A Ford to classy Ca dillacs. Buicks and Olds are very common models, too. However, some of the View dwellers do not rely upon walk ing, the bike, or chance hitch hiking. These other future exe cutives ride a two wheeled gad- The Spirit Twelfth Man The Aggieton Residence get with a motor—it is called a scooter. Where traffic jams up during rush periods, these scoot er riders just weave in and out among the congested conglome ration and get away from it all. Now these boys in College View have to study just like any other students and their problems are vei’y like those of dormitory dwel lers. Whereas the campus dweller may have to listen to some gabby guy telling his room mate about his latest female discovery, the married veteran has his little trou bles too. Some of these are in the form of little future Aggies or little future Tessies. Or just about the time he gets that chemical formula figured out, a wee voice from the kitchen will say, “Honey I’m bak ing a lemon pie. Go down to the store and get some lemons.” On Sunday morning when it is nice to sleep late, one of the little Aggies in the neighbor hood will be running around the corner shouting “The British are coming.” His bedtime story the night before was a story taken from History 105 about some Revolution in 1776. While all apartments seem the same from the outside, that is where all similarity stops. The in genuity of these married girls in arranging college furnishings is something amazing. No two apart ments are alike, and practically every one has some article of fur niture which is home manufactur ed, adding to the homey atmos phere. Curtains and drapes of every color, design and shape adorn the windows; pictures, pennants, mir rors, and souvenirs occupy various wall surfaces. Cadets eat in the mess hall family style and non-cadets eat in the cafeterias, but the married veterans can vary the fare by helping his wife cook if he wants to. And sometimes he will dry the dishes whether he wants to or not! Such is life in College View, Veterans Village, the Annex and in the Trailer Camp, but what a life ... . then graduation and may be a job .... then a vacation!!
