Car-less and key-less means schmoozing in shotgun

By Kate White | October 19, 2000

In high school, I was the proud primary driver of a 1985 Oldsmobile station wagon. Naturally, the automobile opened me up to the good-natured teasing of friends, but such ribbing didn't bother me at all (well, it didn't bother me too much). Whenever someone would make a comment about my rapidly aging motor vehicle, I would shrug and say, "At least I have a car." Not only did I have a car at my disposal at all times, but I had a car that could haul me and seven friends wherever we wanted to go.

Got reservations? "It's a huge pain in the ass," fourth-year College student Jenny Williams said of the process of finding a place for her parents to stay for graduation weekend this coming May. "They're just going to camp," she said. Williams' fears mirror those of many exasperated fourth years, as even those who start looking early - say, a year before graduation - still find the search for a hotel room about as painstaking as that of finding an off-Grounds lease. "I think early this summer, reservations were booked at all the hotels anyone has ever heard of," Fourth-Year Class President Drew Davis said. Some places start filling up even more than a year in advance.

Finally. It's time to eat. While Parents Weekend is meant for warm hugs, news from home and familiar faces, we all know the truth: it's time to eat. The Virginia Brunch served at the dining halls this weekend may appeal to some, but the large majority of University students will not be sitting down to a dinner that requires them to scan their University ID and pick up a tray.
