I've had to think too much these past few weeks. A few days ago, I attempted to find something interesting to do on a Sunday morning in Cedar City. Not an easy task, as any of you that have spent a summer break here could testify. Because I don't have a car, and I don't go to church, my choices are somewhat limited. In fact, if you're a carless heathen like myself, who prefers to seek spirituality outside the confines of a church building, finding something temporally interesting to do in Cedar on . a summer Sunday is like taking a Summer Session crash course Imagination 499, and aying to pass by using the textbook for Boredom Management 101; the materials are somewhat inadequate. On this partirular Sunday, I hopped on my trusty $15 ten speed from DI (rust stained and ugly, but functional), and after stopping by the new Maverick/old 7-11 for a paper, went to Shoney's for a few peaceful hours of reading and my own personal pot of coffee. Amidst the commotion of the tourist crowd, my waitron brought java and cream. As I poured, and added the two aeams I am accustomed to, for a moment I was transported to my previous poor-but-happy cafe life in San Francisco. Soon the discordant sounds of crying children in the next booth quickly brought me back to reality. l was not in Cafe Trieste in North Beach; I was in Cedar City being serenaded by greedy children requesting more syrup for their already-drowned pancakes. • Not the best environment for Sunday newspaper reading, I quickly ascertained, so I downed my Folg rs and headed up (or is it down?) 200 North towards Un's, which is, for tho e of you that are new tO Cedar, one of the twO main grocery tores (read: hang outs) in town. Lin's is a bastian for the magazine reader, as it has dozens of tides Lined up against a wall in the snack bar section of the srore, right next to convenient cables complete with screwed-to-the-floor chairs which are perfect for perusing articles. As I glanced at the vast selection, my eyes were drawn to a book on the bottom shelf which promised information on the 100 best small rowns in America in which to live. I opened up the table of contents and low and behold, Cedar City, Utah was on the list Don't get me wrong, I reel an affinity for thjs town and its friendly, trusting residents. No one put a gun to my head and said Myou must return to finish your education at SUU:" I'm here because I chose to be. It's just that ever since I arrived in this beautiful but boring small rown by Greyhound from San Francisco on June 20, I've felt like I'm in a time warp. Did any of you see the movie Groundhog Da:, ! Sometime it feels like I'm destined to repeat a Sunday in Cedar until I'm able to transform my life. Anyway, I read the article, hoping it would suggest something more interesting ro do in Cedar than read. It's not that I don't enjoy reading; I was just looking for another kind of stimulation after eight weeks of bookhitting. What I discoverul was that in the mayor's opinion, Cedar City was nearly crime-free, a non-environmental-enforcing haven, and redneck counay. I will admit, I had wondered why no one seemed to care that trees were being destroyed on the SUU campus by the dozens in order to build a cable tunnel for the new library. While standing alone in mourning one morning as eight deciduous trees in front of the student center were being whacked away, I asked one of the construction workers why the trees were not being saved. He told me that a concrete tunnel is more difficult to grow than trees. My eyes have been opened. At SUU, they say Leaming lives forever. Apparently, trees do not. My biggest fear, fellow redneck students, is that graduation time will come and go and I'll be stuck in the summer of '93. If I don't get through school soon, Cedar may not remain crime free much longer. At least it would give me something to do.
