Prince Charles and Mom had to take in laundry. Your spouse is an Amish philosophy student. He she does not believe in modern appliances and is too busy reading Kant to notice, anyway. Do you call Housing to fix the fountain coming from the faucet? (If you answered yes, transfer directly to Texas A M.) Upon passing this test, apply as quickly as possible to Married Student Housing, so you too may rent your own little place in the sun. It ' s more fun than owning a yacht in Nebraska.

What Is Dorm Life? Meredith Meredith Dorm life is: explaining to your housemother that it ' s rheumatism, not alcohol, that is causing you to fall down five times while going through the lobby in search of your room. having that long-awaited phone call answered by your foreign room- mate who says you went home for the weekend. (It ' s Wednesday.) going out on a date at night in blue jeans and red t-shirt and coming back the next morning in the same blue jeans and red t-shirt and being greeted by the same hostess as the night before. mass confusion before each game trying to find clothes for everyone on the floor to wear. walking out of the shower wrapped in a towel only to be met face to face with the janitor. (Man in the hall?) fighting for one of the three wash- ing machines that are meant to serve 400 girls. (Wash on a week- day? NEVER!! Clothes only get dirty on Friday.) explaining to your roommate ' s mother why she isn ' t in her room at 7:00 in the morning. water fights at 3:00 in the morning. battles with killer roaches in the hall and giving them three minutes warning before you put your feet on the floor in the morning. a big rat race - - the rats are win- ning. Meredith laughing in the face of tests and crying afterward to your teacher. your roommate ' s boyfriend calling at 2:30 a.m., 3:30 a.m., 4:30 a.m. trying to convince the room inspec- tor that the four by four hunk of plywood sculpture that your boy- friend made in art class is sus- pended by art gum. 18 Student Life
