KDEN TREE
campus lieph...
enrollment was 1,000 foa fall 1974...sew u neva know everybody name, but u recognize faces so wen u c at store, “eh u go windward, yea?”...u’d c all the instructors all da time and same ting, except if u was in their class, then they knew u and say, “howzit roy”...same with admin...they were all friendly and helpful...da campus was small enuff and cozy and friendly and there was no fiefdoms like nau...every department had to share classroom space cuz only had couple classroom in judd with the stupid pole like in na‘auao, five classroom mahi, for classroom lono, too in ‘iolani and one or two in hāloa...plus the hper classes met at district park pool, tennis courts, or gym...now, only get science in ‘imiloa, eng/lang arts in mānaleo, soc sci in na‘auao, but pālanakila big enuff for variety of classes and not just art/theater/dance...
tuition for 12+ credits was $30 plus a $5 mandatory student fee and 1 - 11 credits was $2.50 a credit...wat dat fafsa?...went to $3.50 a credit in 1975 and den bin won major jump to $10 won credit in 1984…now stay $131 a credit, but u get so much moa betta education??? or mayb now day, student stay more like upper campus da kine sew take weigh more work foa try make um b smart…for reals, not, butt really for reals…nah, butt den again gallon regular gas was 47¢ and gallon milk was about $2 in ‘74…
classes was either 8 weak or 16 week so u could take 2 class first 8 week, 2 class 2nd 8 weak and won 16 weak sew kan whack out 15 credit no prob as u only had tree midterm or final at da mostest at the same time...classes was pretty much the same size as now like 20 to at da most 30 students and was won old school desk chair combo and lefties always looking uncomfortable if they neva get won lefty chair/desk...no ac so all da doors open and windows if could...keep everything open so da flies and mosquitos had won way fore get out and no stay trap insai da room...fluffy stuff falling from ceiling...was tested and not asbestos...was fo soften the ceiling like clouds fore patients befour time...seemed like there was lots more evening classes than now cuz i think back then mayb have more students working full time during the day and everybody was more focused on when students could come versus when i like teach and go home...
patients came and sat in classes often just for the hell of it...as long as they didn’t disturb da class/students, they could come and go anytime...my friend night class had one patient come his class and sit down every night...instructor bin tell um, "no movie tonight" and he got up and left...instructor said he come all the time and go from class to class looking foa won movie and when there was one, he'd just sit and watch...patients all walking around campus and just like now, no can tell students from patients...best is some of them making out by da trees and the official word from upper campus was that it was good that they can relate to another person so they thought it positive…most of hale a‘o side was buffalo grass and trees and was fenced off from wcc, but every so often had won naked patient or two in there...now dat i tink about it, don’t remember if there was security...mayb contract guards with the brown shirts???...no remember any problems so mayb az y no moa security…
student activity center wasn't very big, but had tv, lounge chairs, pool table and ping pong table in hāloa so every so often, kinda too often every so often waste away study hours playing and as y know student activity center is for prokrasteenait problems and da more you hang out there, the more you definitely procrastinate...
good to know, da manapua man came 9am or so everyday and parked right next to the bridge...get two manapua, two pork hash for $1.25...could get little boat noodles or cigs foa 50 scents or candies or crack seed for nickel/dime, or sodas for 25 centses too...no was bottle water…
stay get aa end of sp 1976...graduation was on the lawn right outside the back of trio, on folding chairs and no tent...only had about 30 or so of the grads at ceremony, no cap, no gown, just white shirt and black pants and shoes???gggggrrrrr...like now instructors and parents looking proud…and all da students wit broke da face smiles, especially da ones who no thought they bin pass the last classes…had cake and juice aftas…no world famous trio sss shoyu chicken bowl...
dis one pau…tu b continued anada time bumbai…
