The Observer

“Oh come out for dinner with
us,” ’they say. They are dressed
up and their hair has just been
combed out.

“T don’t think so,” you say, look-
ing at the toe of your loafer.

“Come on, you don’t finish exams
every day of your life.”

“No,” you say with spirit as the
truth is that you just do not feel
like jaunting off. “No, it doesn’t
happen every day but it happens
eight times in four years and
that’s plenty.”

So off they go jaunting and there
you are. There you are indeed.
The boxes are too high in your
room to go there and there is
pressure in the hall. “Oh misery,
I sent my trunk without locking
it.’ “I haven’t time to pay my
Inn bill.” “Where is some rope?”
Soon they will be wanting you-and

you, as one~-who ~has~four™days”

left, will have to spend the hou”
in tying knots and returning books.
So out you go, out the window.
Head toward the Library. That is
safe. Everyone who goes to the
Library has Business. You walk
leisurely and the chorus of those
pressed for time fades from your
ears.

Two Seniors pass you in their
sawed-off jeans and some sort of
ancient crew cap. Four days and
they will be gone too:—no more
jeans, no more crew caps. At
Grips with Life. You will be At
Grips also. But it will only be for
four months. You are brave in
your security but in your mind you
cower against the grey walls,
‘watching Seniors, adult, poised,
troop out to conquer.

Amazing that in the hollowness
of the empty Library a handful of
people can sustain the atmosphere
that five hundred people created a
week ago. The ten who study for
Theory and Practice or for Latia

301 give full illustration of the

desperation, the doggedness, the
desire for one cigarette that one
might suppose only a full Reading
Room could give. You gather the



books you have left there and skip
out. They are an ungainly bunch.
No one will ask you to tie up

boxes when you are carrying
these.
Again you think of summer.

Why can’t you go and live in a
house by the sea with a large
porch and hammocks and huge
chairs, do nothing but swim and
play tennis? It is this being At
Grips, this grappling that we will
have to do after college that will
make us turn sour. ‘When you
think of all the things that must
be done, next winter seems like one
last holiday and maybe when we
are seventy we will go to the
house by the sea.

But it’s not that bad. You go
back to the hall amd fill your pen
with coffee and smoke two ¢igar-
ettes at once, always keeping that
ungainly pile beside you so that
those pressed for time will think
you are Organizing. You think of
the lovely things that are beyond
the campus. Yes, afterall, you
are glad vacation is coming but—
but—it is not unpleasant to know
that you are coming back.
