oLxiXlA O uvtKe Jackie LJerlin, LoA Ocpnomore Jordan Bates and Jacob Wheeler built their loft. That ' s why both beds slant down- ward, said Bates. Richard Tabcr J heir first year at the University, engineering senior Iris Seidmann and LSA senior Hallie Sandusky moved into their closet-sized room in Mary Markley Hall. After a quick glance, the two decided that a loft was the best option for a more spacious environment. Although there was now more floor space, Seidmann and Sandusky had a price to pay. umoii y nq D rruimca. own It started out wobbly and it just got worse from there, said Sandusky. En- glish majors built our loft! That should have been our first clue that disaster would strike. The loft was so close to the ceiling that the roommates would repeatedly scrape their knuckles when they turned in their sleep. The two also bumped their heads on the ceil- ing when they sat up in bed, leaving many bruises. But nothing compared to their many falls from the loft. Seidmann recalls a night when Sandusky attempted to get down from the loft to an- swer a phone call. As Sandusky stepped on the lad- der, which was unattached to the loft, her foot accidentally kicked the ladder out from un- der her. Iris, I need help, she screamed. Sandusky remembers a time when Seidman was sur- prised by a visitor; her soon-to- be boyfriend entered the room. Anxious to get down from her loft and say hello, Seidman missed the ladder and fell on the ground with her books landing on top of her. Now, four years later, Seidmann remembers this in- cident with a laugh. She was just dangling there, hanging on for dear life. Despite all of the bruises and inconveniences that the loft brought to Seidmann and Sandusky ' s first year, the roommates do not regret their decision to buy a loft. As annoying as our loft was, we have very funny memories from our loft disas- ters, Seidman n said. + Richard Taber Lofts 4 3 17

Senior Kimberly Thomashow still knew where her first-year roommate was four years later. Thomashow lived with her and four other people in a small house on Elm Street. Thomashow was paired with Natalie Vandenburgh her first year at the University. The two had spoken briefly on the phone before their first meeting. And, on that fateful day in September when Wr, V rruutco ere s your room ma fe? Thomashow and Vandenburgh met in their South Quad room, they were not disappointed. Vandenburgh remem- bered her first impressions of Thomashow vividly. We weren ' t very much alike, but we got along really well, said Vandenburgh. We had the same sense of humor. Thomashow agrees. I didn ' t really get to know her until second semester, but we al- ways got along really well. Sophomore and junior year, the two remained close but did not live together. Senior year, however, Vandenburgh and Thomashow reunited. It ' s cool living with Nat again be- cause when you don ' t live with someone you can get busy and not see him or her as much as you would like, said Thomashow. Living together, Thomashow and Vandenburgh got to see each other every day. Many se- niors, however, did not live with their first-year roommate. Senior Sehnita Joshua lived with Laura Hershey and Katie Wiesenfels her first year. We lived in a converted triple in South Quad, said Joshua. We had a really small room so juniors Emily Davis and Dorthy Chambers were roommates their first year at the Univer- sity. They still keep in touch. cr uuk, J rve u Jolene Fleming, Diologi) Oenior we had to be close. Joshua remembered her first year in South Quad as fun. Although she does not live with Hershey and Wiesenfels, the three have not completely lost touch with each other. We don ' t hang out often, but whenever I run into them, it ' s cool to see them, said Joshua. Senior Ruslan Rabinovich roomed blind with Thomas Park. They lived to- gether in a double in East Quad and got along well. I would love to see Park, but I don ' t, said Rabinovich. He has his group of friends, and I ' ve got mine. There ' s no time.
