The familiar blur of daily activities tends to render the Brothers incapable of observing the myriad of events that typically comprise Student Life. From the boarding of bus­ es at the crack of dawn until the return trip at twilight, the pace of CBA is anything but calm.
The Donut Shoppe begins the day for many of the competitors. From there, it’s a mad rush to homeroom and the morning prayer before Brother Richard ominously closes the doors to the Academic Wing at 8:30:01.
After a full morning of classes, lunch in the cafeteria provides a moment of rest from the grueling pace. The home stretch of classes ends in announcements at the finish line — and then it’s sports and activities to continue an already busy schedule.
In the midst of all this hustle and bustle of day to day events, CBA students did not lose sight of what was going on around them. The US Hockey team failed at Sarajevo to recreate its triumph of four years ago. Yuri Andropov died after a lengthy illness and was replaced by Konstan­ tin Chernenko. On the local scene, the Police came to the Carrier Dome; and SU Basketball became a major con­ tender in the Big East.
The singular events of student life seem to be trivial when taken individually. It is only when they are put into the broader picture of the CBA community that it becomes obvious that the halls echo from early morning to late at night with an indomitable Olympic spirit.
