That in cludes cutting those dreds and phasing out the daily Abercrom bie & Fitch wardrobe. And, no doubt, this can be a dif ficult — not to mention daunting — task. After all, moving on from college life is moving away from what is normal and comfortable. For most of you, graduation means leaving the University, and for many, it means saying goodbye to our fair emerald city. Though we may complain from time to time about the University and the city in which it resides, we will always re member those negative things just as we will miss the good. So how does one say “so long” to the University and Eugene? There are the obvious ap proaches: saying goodbye to your favorite faculty member one last time, taking that final walk through campus or visiting your favorite Phil Knight Building. However, there are numerous oth er ways to make your finals days here memorable and worthwhile. One could simply commune with nature. This is Eugene. It should be easy enough. Take a jog or bike through the many trails that wind through Eugene and Springfield. Stop by Alton Baker Park to enjoy the ducks, geese and construction workers. That half-built footbridge will be a gem once it’s complete, but you’ll be long gone by then. Now that the weather is nice, you could take a brave leap into the ripe waters of the Willamette. On second thought, unless you have little interest in having children, or wish to leave school with a third eye, that may not be the best idea. All that aside, there are some rather lovely spots to become one with your surroundings. For ex ample, you could take a midday tour through the pioneer ceme tery. Not many people appreciate the serenity of such a place. If cemeteries aren’t your scene, celebrate your bon voyage with a visit to your favorite watering hole, be it Max’s, Rennie’s or Taylor’s. After at least four years here, you should all be experts on which es tablishments are most accommo dating to you spirit-drinking needs. For nostalgia’s sake, visit the Saturday Market one last time. Once you leave Eugene, it may be some time before your hemp wielding hippy fix is satisfied. At the very least, you should have tak en a gander at the annual Willamette Valley Folk Festival. Next to stopping by the OPS office to return their little yellow envelopes full of cash, I can think of no better way to say goodbye to the University and Eugene than by looking back on the less-than-perfect traits here and taking great joy in knowing that you will soon be free of them. The first that should come to mind is the weather. No matter where you go from here, take so lace in knowing that it will not rain as much as it does in Oregon. Re member that only here can it be teetering below 40 degrees one day and pushing 90 three days later. Once you leave, you can forget the dreaded Ferry Street Bridge Corridor. Not that driving in any other city may be much better, but the odds are in your favor. Perhaps when you come back to visit in twenty years, they will have finally finished painting the damn bridge. Lest we forget the milestone of daily University campus life, the soliciting/protesting advocates for this association or that student measure — you can kiss all that goodbye. No more ASUO, no more elections, no more OSPIRG. And if you’re lucky, the word grievances may not grace your ears for some time to come. This does, however, lend a per fect opportunity to say goodbye to the University. Before you leave this place, take time to hug a peti tioner, activist or any other person holding a sign with an agenda. Tell them how you really feel about what they are doing, rather than the old standby: “I’m late for class.” To those leaving the University this year, may your last weeks be fulfilling. Just remember that they are what you make of them. And if ever you are without inspiration about your impending departure from the University, just remember five words: no more Duck Call lady.
