The Kids Are At School ... I Think by Bill Smiley If you heard a -sigh sometime recently like an elephant about . to lie down and die, there was nothing to be alarmed about. It was just the Smileys getting the last of two kids off to college. Hugh isn't so bad any more. Boys aren't, generally. They'll jam some clothes and junk into a suitcase or two and a duffel bag, and off they go. He had decided, after a couple of years of waiting table and selling vacuum cleaners, that there might be something in that higher education stuff after all, and went back last year. Unfortunately, I promised that if he buckled down, I'd give him some financial help. He buckled down just enough to get through his year, so this year I'm stuck with paying his fees. As far as eating goes, he's on his own. Got him off on an early bus, bound for Halifax, with a big box of books and frayed shirts and one suitcase, mine, bulging. He was full, as usual, of boundless optimism and great expectations. No problem. Kim is another kettle of fish. Or fowl. A year ago we took her off to university, got her regis- tered, found her a place to live, and made about four long trips in six weeks to allay her loneliness, buy her more clothes, and change her living quarters twice. She quit at Christmas and my stony heart bled tears when I counted the dollars down the drain, She was ill for a time. Then she went out into the world to seek her fortune. She discovered that the streets of the city were paved with soot, not gold, After a few months of being broke or working, she chose the lesser of three evils, and decided to go back to school. After an incredible delay, and weeks of agonizing anxiety for her mother, her application was accepted. (Dealing with univer- sity bureaucracy is like dealing with the government.) I took her down and we checked out the university. She liked it, to my amazement. I think what .sold her was that an English professor we talked io introduced himself by his first name, had long hair and a beard, and when he stood• up, turned out to be in his bare feet. She had expressed a desire to get out of the city. Sick of the smog, traffic and everything else that goes with it, She wished she could go to college in a small town. I pointed out that small towns do not boast universities. But this was as close to it as you could get. Campus sur- rounded by orchards. A river winding through it. Well out of the city proper.

They do their own cooking, cleaning, and make their own rules. Great. A girl who lived in the house said it was fine. A stone's throw from the college. It was a mess, but professional cleaners were coming in to clean, decorate and put everything in order. Then the doubts set in. "Dad, how can I get along with 13 girls? What if my room -mates don't like me? Wait'll they see me come in with my guitar, in jeans and sneakers." And so on. In my jovial, fatherly way, I retorted: "Look, kid, 25 years ago I was living with 17 other fellows in a room the size of yours, and we got along." The answer was typical of all kids, the minute you start talking about the tough old days. "Yeah, yeah, I know, Dad, but that was in camp, and you had no choice and I've heard it all before." For once, I was firm. She was actually pleased by my firmness. All settled, So we took her down on a Sunday, to get settled, The house was still a mess, No cleaners. No drapes up. No pillow cases. Two or three girls struggling around with furniture. No heat in the house on a cold, drizzly day. It was bleak and dreary and her spirits went down like a thermometer in an ice bucket. Typically, she hadn't even packed a sweater. I left her the one I was wearing. When we left, she looked as woebegone as a drunk at a tea party. Her mother mpaned soft- ly all the way home and has been wringing her hands ever since. We'll see. St. Peter's Lutheran Church Rev, A. C. Blackwell, B.A., B.D.
