ur Home Away From Home - Dorm Decoratin J ug r' 1, ,. kr! ,wi nt, ,Eff . Ae J 0 me a A, 'Q .- , v- 'Wiz Michael Kraus 26 What made our dorm rooms so special? They were home for nine months out of the year. We had the option to either live with the necessities which were provided for us or, with some extra money, fix up our rooms. Each person was given these ba- sic items to work with: a desk, book shelf, closet, bed, bulletin board, one room for singles, dou- bles and triples, and two rooms for quads. We decorated our rooms by using what was pro- vided to our advantage. Most visible parts of our rooms were posters and mes- sage boards. Posters showed an aspect of our personality and background by displaying our likes and dislikes. For males in general, the average room dis- played the Study Hard poster and those of rock musicians such as Led Zeppelin, Bruce Springsteen, and the Police. Beer posters, such as the Schlitz one that said, Gopher it were also popular. Favorites of fe- males tended to be Garfield, Syl- vester Sallone and Gregory Har- rison. Message boards served as a means of communication with roommates and visitors. We did not all have the typi- cal room, though. A few of us went to elaborate measures to make sure we had the comforts of home, like four residents of Mackinnon Hall. Roommates Randy Fawkes, Rob Aneshan- sel, Mike Burns, and Mike Reed set up one of their rooms to func- tion as an entertainment center. Included in the room were such luxuries as M.T.V., H.B.O. and Cinemax. Other items included: two refrigerators, a rust-colored couch, brown carpeting, a tele- phone, venetian blinds, desks were used as tables and of course a stereo with a turntable and eight-track. The room was used by other dorm residents as a lounge Sophomore Randy Fawks commented, At times it is really crowded here. We use the other room strictly for sleep- ing and we study at Alden. Me- chanical engineering major Rob Aneshansel added, tWei like because we have tljiegeonvie-' niences of home. . - l f Q Two other people lwlto' nished their dorms in, ways were Tiffin Halllesidefzt. assistant Anne Florack .Who get up her single room to resemble a small apartment.
