Our lust for lecture learning by going to class, we sit down 'and shortly find a strange feeling come over us. Cal1 it boredom. Our pens start to creep, our eyes start to close, and soon we are certifiably asleep. But what can be done? In­ class sleeping is disrespectful, but walking out of the classroom (while it is still possi­ ble) is even more disrespectful. Preventive measures can be taken. Usually the best protec­ tion is a good night's sleep. But good sleeps come in limited quantities, and are rarely available when you need them. Sometimes even the best-rested student can contract a bad case of in-class slumber. Of course, stimulants should be avoided, although a good breakfast often helps. Occasionally you will have the good fortune of sitting next to one of those solemn vigilantes sworn to keep you awake, who will save you at the drop of an eyelid with a friendly nudge or whisper, and if necessary, a firm jab in the back of the neck with a O.5mm mechanical pencil. I imagine services of this sort could be arranged in advance, but they would probably be very expen­ sive. Vigilante action sometimes doesn't work, and often distracts the class. I've seen advertisements for devices (designed for freeway driving) which you place behind you ear to keep you awake. These devices sound an alarm when your head tilts forward. Such an alarm could be very distrac­ ting, and wouldn't work if you sleep with your head upright (as sometimes I do.)

Students here move year to year from one dorm to another, and look beyond their immediate floors or suits for friendship. I've been lucky to start with a few initial ties from which to branch: a good friend of mine from high school is here and another transfer from Caltech just happens to be in two of my classes. Academics are moving along smoothly as well. So far, I've found myself well-prepared for my classes here and usually feel more like I'm drinking from a water fountain, or even a straw at times, than from the Tech "fire hose period". That's turning out to be a nice change of pace. My thirst is being quenched, but not overwhelm­ ed. Having drinks of a few dif­ ferent flavors tends to help. Because of the difference in graduation requirements, notably the Columbia core cur­ riculum, I'll likely be taking a few classes during the summer in order to graduate in two years. As for my Caltech credit, they all transferred with· me. The biggest difference here has got to be the city itself.
