Student’s
attempt
to mingle
thwarted
by faculty
By LAURA BRENNER
Of the Emerald
I slowly approached the unapproachable. Was it
possible? Could it be true? Were these hallowed
doors which had never before been interested in my
hunger now begging me enter?
I placed my foot on the first step and then, the
second? At last I was through the door. I had
penetrated the Faculty Club lunch room. Oh, the
ecstasy of the accomplishment!
But wait! The battle was only half over. Here
was a major test. Where was the food? Was there
any food? A Trick, most foul? But that sound,
clanking dishes and contented grunts, somewhere
at the end of the maze was the illusive food.
Adrenalin pumped into my brain and the
tongue twitched with anticipation as the aroma of
the sweet morsels grew stronger. A few false turns,
but then, the line.
My adventurous self was anxious to talk to
these members of the other class, but few would
even look my way, and I grew cautious from the
unwelcoming stares. Perhaps I had come mi the
wrong day? And then, one of the elders, a member
of the other class spoke up, “Why are you kids
eating here, the prices are cheaper at the union?”
By the time the “kid” gained composure to answer,
the elder had moved on.
What were the prices? Hardly a need to
pluralize price. Most of the choices fell into the
category of $1.00, one solid buck. Well it made
decisions easier, and (to my delight) what made the
decision easier was there were only five or six items
to choose from. Is the person without choices free? I
ignored the question, got the food, and sat. Sat at a
long table where only two other brave little soldiers
sat. No one else sat down at that table. The others
filled every table with their serious laughter but
when all the tables were filled they sought other
rooms. No mingling.
I, hating to be merely an object of a projected
capitalistic gain, decided to mingle.
“Oh, excuse me, ma’am, how do you like eating
with the students these days?”
“Well actually, I haven’t seen many here. It’s
still quiet. I suppose I don’t know just yet.”
Not finding these ladies totally hostile, I moved
to a table of men boisterously laughing over old
jokes. Suddenly the laughter stopped and they were
looking at me.
“Excuse, listen, what do you think about the
student invasion?”
minx it s great, it livens tne oia place up. we
don’t talk to many students though.”
I felt truly joyous at their words. I quickly
moved to another table. “Hi, I’d like your opinion on
the students eating . . .”
“In the first place,” he butted in, “I am a
teacher not a student.”
“Yah, so, what’s your reaction?”
“I don’t want to be quoted, okay okay I tell you
what I think. I think if the university had allowed
the faculty club to serve liquor and wine, they could
easily have made up the deficit without letting the
students eat here. If the faculty club is gang to be a
faculty club it should be just that and not another
EMU.”
Trembling all the way back to my solitary
table, I knew my dreams of student-teacher
togetherness had been dashed. By this time only a
few people sat in the lunchroom and I stuck out as a
stranger. I ventured once more to a table where two
of the others sat. Once more I asked if I could talk to
them and the eldest looking up from his soup, his
moustache dripping beans and barley said, “NO, I’d
rather not, not while I’m eating.” Was this because
I was a student or wouldn’t he talk to his friend
either? Well, I would never know. Hie management
was beginning to feel invaded and as the lady in
white and her bossman approached me with the
retraction of an invitation, the dissolving of a temp
tation, I didn’t think I’d make the effort again to
break through the walls of the sacred gathering
place. Unless of course they started serving liquor
and wine. Who likes having dry dreams, anyway?
