Default The New College Campus
When I attended the University of Texas
the school was lily white. The majority of
females were sort of trying to graduate,
but many were going for their Mrs. degree.

Jeez no more.
Took my daughter up and planted her in her
dorm. One of the smaller campus dorms, 5 stories, but all girls.
Racial diversity rules. I was afraid her dorm would
be a rich, white sorority haven that it was when I attended.

No worries.

Except what happens when all the girls start cycling together?

90 % of my kids friends go to UT......that place is a really nice place to go to school....plenty of weed for every one.....and going to 6th street is a trip.
A real throwback town to the 60's.

The people along the drag are great entertainment for
the students. That has stayed virtually the same.
Definitely some flower children hanging out around
the students. And the students are allowed to participate.

Just pleasantly suprised at the change in the student population.

Do they still have the clocktower, the one the sniper shot everyone from?

And, SANTANA, are you elsewhere known as SANTANAJIMI?

Yep.
And now they are letting people back up.
It was off limits when I was a student in the late 70s early 80's.
Closed off. Scared that people would toss themselves off because
that also happened fairly frequently.

in fact, I never wore a watch except when I had tests. clock Tower was always there for me.

I am experiencing a bit of post partum depression.
This is my only offspring.

No one is around that will laugh when I fall or
hit my thumb with a hammer. Or when I get my
eyelid caught under the leg of a chair.

My wife just gets concerned.

I miss the laughing.

Big sap I am.

Anyways I may need some sort of therapy so
I will email Scuds.
