Show Within the collegiate world exists another world, the world of the married student. Characterized not by the dreamy guy and gal relationship, but rather by the domestic husband-wife relationship, married students congregate in University and Stadium Villages. Within these villages a closely knit and withdrawn group awakens to the ring of an alarm clock or the cry of a chubby pink baby. And thus the day begins. While other campus coeds primp before the mirror and prepare for a day of class and social events, mother feeds the new additions to her family â€" husband and child â€" and then plungesG â- â- â- •into a day of washing, dusting, scrubbing, shopping, preparing of meals and, if still enrolled on campus, squeezing in time for books and term papers. And daddy, no longer the frat man with tailor made clothes and a floating fraternity pin, assumes the role of the man of the house, grabs toast in hand, blows his wife a kiss and darts off to his classes and then to his work. As evening shadows fall the married students gather in small groups to discuss the events of the day and enjoy a lemon pie that one of the new brides succeeded in baking without burning. But this does not complete the day in the life of a married student. Village government and activities also play their part.The villages are governed by a mayor, vice mayor and council. Elections for these posts resulted in somewhat of a governmental panacea at University Village when ballot count revealed a tie vote for the office of mayor. Unsuccessful dual mayorship resulted in governmental reigns falling into the hands of the vice mayor. |
