Many opportunities greet students living in dorms Dorms create lasting friendships Dorm life was, essentially, what one made it. As a freshman, the times in the dorm meant studying together, eating popcorn and catching up on the latest. The friendships established during the time were to become the ones that lasted a lifetime and especially important during college years. Roommates were looked on as either good or bad tor sometimes really badD but they taught that living together doesnlt always make instant friends. Dorm Directors and Resident Assistants were only a hall away and became the big brothers or big sisters during the year. F requent activities in the dorm gave students the chance to meet even more people from their own dormitory or another. Movies, aerobics, after-game parties, inter- dormitory sports and speakers on common in- terests were just a few of the things the dorms ottered. One of the most important aspects of dorm life was the mail. It either came to some by the letters or it didnt come at all. Home town church newsletters were even a welcome sight when the mail was low. Rule Violations tknown to most as RVisl were a constant reminder that quiet hours were in effect in the evening and in the morning. Many girls found their way, along with their bath- ing suit when the weather got warm, out behind Kerr. Known to most girls as Kerr Beach, spring brought out many girls as they worked on summer tans while catching up on reading assignments. There were so many activities in the dorms and so many people. But the times students spent in the dorm were times that will only come during a few years of ones life. Lounge areas provide Tom Howard, Suzy Birth and Anita Maupin a place to talk and study. Birthday surprises were in store for Terrie Hellard in the Howard Residence Center. 28i Dorm Life
