It's summer and school shouldn't be stuffy. I'm not proposing a vacation from learning, but one for it. The entire campus could add to the new summer learning plan. A water slide from the top of Pattee could be a refreshing way to get through central campus. Like surfing a great Roman aqueduct, students could check out a book, then reach College Avenue in seconds.
Mass transit can be stuffy, especially in the humidity.
Local transportation could be enhanced by convertiblizing the Loops. It could give the ride home a whole new perspective. No roof would give passengers sunshine, fresh air and a view, all for 35 cents. Yes, the rites of summer could be found in landlocked State College. My suggestions could even make enjoyable.
