levators one or many trouoies Moving in tedious even with family ' s help Moving in, that dreaded part of col- lege existence thai always turned out worse than ever imagined, was a tedious job even if the entire family helped. MarshalTs dormitories have earned the reputation of creating nothing but formidable obstacles for residents who attempt to make moving in as easy an enterprise as possible. Undependable elevators awaited the naive freshmen or incurably optimistic upperclassmen who patiently wailed and wailed and waited - onlv to have the elevator open its doors, allow itself to be loaded to capacity, and, in the stubborn manner that only elevators possess, refuse to budge. After unloading the elevator and walking up a never-ending flight of stairs, the student has met with the for- midable task of meeting the room- mate. At this point, even the elevators looked good. For the first time came the realization that perhaps taking polluck wasn ' t such a great idea. But if the big- gest differences could not be worked out, there was always friendly moving day and another chance to curse the elevators. With the prospect of having to go through the entire process of moving again, it ' s. been no wonder dormitory residents seriously ponder all options before making the traumatic decision that there is just no way to get along with the stranger lying on the bed across the room. Boxes and crates filled with all the conveniences of home - what a mess.

Dorm room refrigerators increase moving problems A popular necessity for improving dormitory accommodations is the com- pact refrigerator. Costing S55-65 a year to rent, the refrigerator offers welcome relief from cafeteria food. Getting the refrigerator into the dorm room involves many more obsta- cles than getting something out of the fridge. However, even 15th floor Towers ' residents find it worthwhile to tote the refrigerator up to the room. Female dormitory residents usually trap some strong male into carrying their refrigerators. The innocent phrase, Hey. could you give us a hand at least to the eleva- tor? always finds a sympathetic gen- tleman who, wishing to exhibit his chauvinism (welcome at this point by exhausted females with aching backs), carries the refrigerator singlehandedly to the dorm room. Transportation to and from the rent- al agency is another hassle for residents not fortunate enough to have easy ac- cess to a car. But a lesson can be learned from a freshman who conquered two problems of refrigerator rental. She took a taxi to and from the rental agency and then encouraged the cab driver to carry the refrigerator from Fifth Avenue to her room. Clutching her new stereo, a West Hall resident walks carefully to her room. What a load. A TTW resident brings back quite a haul after Christmas vacation. 16 Moving In
