Dom Li{j£ Home A way From Home Was is 1:00 a.m. or 1:00 p.m.? It didn't matter. Dorm activities were basically the same no matter what time it was. Someone was always trying to sleep while others were trying to study. The lobby usually contained someone sitting and watching television. Whether our rooms were good, bad or ugly, we always had a place to call home. by Diane Calhoun Posters for the college student provide a remedy for unsightly walls and add color to the room. The cafes are an extension of our rooms. Sleepy faces at breakfast and excited chatter at dinner time were normal for a cafe. We grumble about the food, but we enjoy meeting and joking with friends we don't see during the day. Privacy Is a rare commodity in a dorm. Telephone calls are no exception. We try to be Invisible. but someone always spies us. i i. rov-of Residence Halls

■ f i Personal touches help make our dorms a little more like home. Plants, posters and treasures from home add to our comfort. lavw Along with exams and classes students have to deal with the tedious side of life, such as laundry. We became experts In the jargon of wash 'n wear and wring gently. Our mistakes were delegated to the rag bag. Saturdays mean our day — we choose the activity and some of us choose volleyball. The game Is played for fun. not for the score. Floors challenge other floors and the cheering section quickly forms. The rooms are small, but there Is always room for another friend. Some studies, some played games, and others simply talked about home, careers and plans for the weekend. Friends somehow make our room a bigger, warmer place. 8 Residence Halls

 cadmics The Deal of a Lifetime Our years here could be measured in computer hours, class presentations, research papers and of course study hours. Years were measured in semesters peppered with holiday breaks that alowed us to be civilians instead of students. Through it ai we muttered oaths and epithets aimed at the academic system and ourselves for the work load we carried, but we didn't quit. So our struggle with midterms, equasions. and back-from-spring-break-blues came to an end with graduation day. It seems as if that day brought us back to realty and all that we had accom-pished in our years at the Rock. Registration, buying books, and final exams were an behind us now. Memories were taking shape. The Rock offered us a deal that would create the path we would take — a deal of a lifetime. by Annette Jacob Glen Brunkln, Scott Wal-tart, Bill Wilson, and Rita Johnson enjoy their work In the print shop. They not only learn, but form friendships that last beyond the class. Computers — the magic word in academics. The seats In the P.C. labs are not vacant very long. Who said computers simplify things? Academics, of course require studying, and our rooms upon occasion look like an extension of the library. da ArrvH ami r ;
