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.

Q Michael StanlefBand ichael Stanley, sport- ing an OU baseball jer- rocked Memorial Audito- on Saturday, October 9. sey, t f The Michael Stanley Band en- tertained more than 1800 fans with their Cleveland sound. The opening song, Heartland, brought the crowd to their feet and they remained standing all the way through the first hour of the show. Ripping through such favor- ites as Tonight, When I'm Holding You Tight, and Prom- ises, the crowd's satisfaction was obvious as people began dancing in the aisles. The mellow Why Should Love Have to be This Way? charmed one lady in the front row as Michael Stanley kissed her during the song. During In Between the Lines, drummer Tommy Do- beck did an excellent job at lnringing the crowd back to their eet. ' -. . ' - Stanley, telling the crowd that if they take it all in song by song, day by day, every once in a while you'll get really lucky and have a magic night, then cut into the popular Midwest Midnight. The band then played a few hits off their recent North Coast album. Saxophone player Rick The Cleveland Horn Bell was outstanding through the whole show and particularly while playing Lover. His loud, clear sound was very moving. The crowd wouldn't settle for I-Ie Can't Love You Like I Love You as the last song and their chanting and cheering brought the band back out for three more hits. All the band members were drenched with sweat by the end of the show but still had enough energy to play a long, vigorous version of Strike Up the Band for the finale. end of the show Stan- to h ave passed and needed ley ou to be lead Violent Markasky. Stanley was able walk off stage eventually, not before he put an' I Loi button on his jersey. Other band members included Kevin Raleigh and Bob Pe- lander on both keyboards and vocals and Michael Gismondi on bass. gt x.. I 1. K I ONCERTS
