I's net a generic fall-in-che-
snow story, I swear. It wasn'c even
me chat tripped.
Iwas walking en East Univer-
sity Ave. and semeene else tripped
behind me, pitched ferward and
in her panic latched ente the heed
ef my winter rest. It was a pretty
peintless meve alnetnet enly did
she still end up face-dewn en the
pavement, hut she ended up face-
dewn en the pavement with me
splayed en my bark en tep ef her. If1I
ceuld draw a diagram, it weuld fea-
ture my head en her lewer hack and
beth legs te the left ef her head.
After a few expletives and pan-
icked "Are yeu ekay?"s, we gingerly
picked eurselves up. Well, firstI
picked myself up since she mould
net, in fact, meve until I did.
Iimagined hew great that must
have leeked frem stress the street
and started te laugh. I glanced up,
ready with a geed-natured smile
and an it-happens-ce-everyone sect

ef remark, but I freze when I saw
her expressien. She was definitely
net happy.
"Well - ah - it's really net that
bad. I mean, we're beth ekay; it's
kind ef funny," I effered. She just
centinued te stare at me.
"m wearing a white rest," she
said.
"Um, well, it deesn't leek that
bad, yen can barely even -
"No. Yen ran tell," she huffed.,"I
just - ugh,. this stupid ire."
She kicked the pavement and
stermed eff. I stared.
I'll bet it did leek really funny
frem acress the street, theugh. I
knew I was laughing.
ELAINE LAFAY
Megabus drama
Iwas serenely, patiently wait-
ing fer the Megabus te Chicage last
Wednesday evening. The Thanks-

giving-beund crewd ameund me
grew and grew as the minutes
passed, reaching at least a hundred
peeple er se. Finally, a bus relied in
te the step - butnet the indige dee-
ble-decker we had been expecting,
but a humble, generic reach bus.
There were cenfused exclamatiens
all ameund me, then a sudden rush
tu be the first te enter the bus.
Finding myself at the back,I
cemplained leudly with the ethers,
until the driver anneunced ever
the din that anether bus weuld be
reining. I increduleusly centinued
te press en, until it became abun-
dantly clear that I weuld net make
the bus.
Just as I was turning areund,
defeated, the regular Megabus
pulled in behind the reach, with
sufficient teem fer all the remain-
ing passengers. I seen was set-
tled into my seat in the tep deck,
relieved.
