Florida is undoubtedly the longest state in the world. This little
fact dawns after you drive for
hours and then sec by the map
that you are only half way
through the dratted place.
Once in Ft. Lauderdale, things
begin to happen. The first Is usually collapse. About 15 hours of
sleep helps and then life begins to
ebb bark.
The first and most important
place is the BEACH. During the
day the BEACH is covered with
people. Some are tan and walk
with a sort of swagger as opposed
to the white newly arrived who
do not realize that it is perfectly
all right to step on people.
Tan and white alike bask, sit,
stand, or swim Just as long as it
is on the BEACH. The most dog-grt. the newly arrived, who bathe in the sun and
surf during the day and in lotions
and creams at night.
The geographical area covered
by college students in concentrated
In one block, the focal point of
which Is the corner of South Atlantic Boulevard and East Las
Olas Boulevard.
If anyone you know is in Florida at the time, you will see them
on this corner. Policemen are stationed at this intersection constantly, about tour being needed to
direct the traffic.
Going up the block, three main
centers of student activity are
found the Elbo Room, the Student Prince Lounge, and Omar's
Tent. There is usually a line waiting to enter all these little dens of
iniquity.
The most popular phrase in Ft.
Lauderdale is "Let's see yer ID."
outside
Police are stationed
every place that sells the demon
rum and every person must produce proof of being the proper
age before he can go in the door.
Perhaps the most inspiring sight
to be seen in the state is the triumphant look of someone who has
successfully gotten in with a fake
ID.
Once inside, a sort of gurgling
roar overwhelms your ears. Fraternity songs, shouting, a general
uproar and drinking noises all go
together.
In the case of the Student
Prince, an elderly man sawing
away on a violin adds somewhat to
the din, but if you are over -- 0
feet away you can't hear him at
all.

This is a somewhat sneaky way
up to the fact that
some students actually do drink.
In fact, it is possible, although

place in Pompano, known as
Jade Beach, comes to life at night,
accounting for the desertion of Ft.
Lauderdale's BEACH. Jade Beach
has no sand. It is covered entirely
with beer cans, people, bonfires,
and, occasionally, police.
Gay groups with guitars, bongos and assorted musical instruments sit around the fires singing, etc.
A group of small boys with
northern accents run across the
beach yelling, "Hey, Kentucky! Is
anyone from Kentucky?" They
all have instruments and are ready
to play.
Meanwhile, back in Ft. Lauderdale, the parties go on. A party can
be anywhere and usually is. The
police have become more strict recently, requiring more travel on the
part of the students.
When one party is broken up,
one must find another, a process that sometimes requires as
much as 15 minutes. This goes on
through the night with more singing and a lot of etc.
So this pretty well covers the
routine. If the weather gets bad,
as it did for three days with heavy
seas and the beach determined to
blow across the street,
little
changes.
People grimly lay on the beach,
moving only if the sand drifts over
them. They are determined to get
a tan. The high water is already
there and the rest is on many a
tongue as the sun stubbornly refuses to come out.
When the time finally rolls
around for the return trip, there is
kind of a wistful air which can be
easily recognized as someone looks
at the beach for a long time and
then hurries away, shedding a malty tear.
The trip home is twice as bad as
the first trip. There is little to
say except to think about the good
times had and check your tan
every five minutes to see if the
boiled lobster look is turning brown
yet.
So that's Florida. If you want to
find out about the etc., youH Just
have to go and see for yourself.
