Show Page 4 The Thunderbird Monday, October 10, 1 983 Opfamm showers test dodging powers Year-roun-d - Running through the sprinklers is a favorite summer pastime, but at SUSC it goes on regardless of season. Lately it seems that the sidewalks have been watered as much as the lawns. Its not uncommon to see a group of students lined up on campus waiting for just the right moment to dash across a flooded walkway in an attempt to make it to class without being soaked. We dont mind the watering, but why does it have to be done during the peak traffic hours? Perhaps most of the watering could be done in the early mornings or late afternoons when students arent hurrying to class. The Thunderbird realizes the importance of campus upkeep, but we also realize the hazard wet sidewalks are to the students and faculty. Students have been seen performing amazing acrobatic feats as they dodge, scamper, and race from the wet menace. The Californians dont seem to have any trouble hydroplaning in their thongs across the slick cement chalk it up to surfing experience. Others however, sometimes dont fair so well. For example, Ottis Clods has never been to a beach in his life and doesnt know what surfing is. The first time he attempted to take the walkway from the library to the business building, he lost his balance and slid all the way to IE and still has the bruises to prove it. Ou Lala she cannot walk in shoes with heels less than four inches high refuses to take any risks. She is often forced to take long detours to get from one building to another when watering hours are in effect. Although she doesnt get wet, it takes its toll. Her feet will never be the same. We could go on and on with the stories, but we feel these are adequate to illustrate our point. If the watering schedule cannot be rearranged, you might as well grab your rubber ducky and enjoy.
