Whether You Don't Know How To Do Laundry Or You lust Don't Have Any Dimes, There's No Way To Avoid The The Washroom Blues By Darla Baxter hat can make a floor of girls move quicker than the opportunity to see a room- ful of handsome men? . . . someone standing in the hall yelling empty washers! That may be an exaggera- tion, but if you've ever had to wash clothes you realize time demands and limited numbers of washers make laundry a chore. A complaint from dormitory residents was the number of washers and dryers. Some dorms had only two located on every other floor, making wait- ing a common problem at prime laundry times. I hate it! said Joan Revre, It's so hard to find empty washers! Most of the time I have to wait quite a while or do it late at night. Many students learned to ex- pect to wash not when they wanted, but when there was an empty washer to be found. This problem was enhanced when students who used the washers left their laundry in the machines after the cycles had been completed. This caused more waiting for others. You never can get a washer when you want, and when you find one, people have left their clothes in it, said Cindy Stre- ble. Caren Clarida said that with all the problems encountered in laundry she didn't think it was fair for people to have to wait for others to retrieve their laun- dry. There's only two washers on our floor, and last night one was broken. It's hard enough to get to a washer as it is. Many veteran washers indi- cated that those people leaving their clothes in the washers or dryers shouldn't expect people to wait for them. lmpatient stu- dents removed the clothes and began using the machines. De- pending on the students, the clothes could be removed with care or put in a pile on the floor. According to Stacy Vala, and Lisa Coomes, the clothes were sometimes taken out when they are still wet and had not completed the cycle. In addition to this problem, Laura Poore said, not only have I had a problem with peo- ple taking my clothes out wet or dry, but, in Hester we have trouble with occasional flood- ing, and the limited amount of washers are really a problem. Lori Weaver also had prob- lems finding a dryer. Some- times it makes me mad when I l can't find a dryer, especially on 1 Fridays - that's when every- one is using the laundry room: - and that's a hassle. Itl doesn't help when a couple off the washers aren't working. One time all the washers hadl broken down, or at least one on 1 every floor. Chris Thompson said that he - didn't have much of a problem l with laundry. Mainly it's get- ting a dryer, or finding one that works. Sometimes you put in your quarter and no heat comes out. You come back to pick up your laundry and it's still wet. Susan Sinn had a different problem with laundry. It's so hard to find dimes and quar-1 ters! I shove all my laundry in Campus Life

Some students have become well adjusted to the ins and outs of washing, but still can remember when they learned the hard way. Rob Huth said, When I was a freshman, I didn't really know how to wash clothes. I put a bunch of clothes with my jeans in the wash - I ended up with purple underwear.
