Cathy, Andy and Sabrina have h'reraffy grown closer because of their shared living quarters. Since Freshman year in Abby Hall to Junior year in an Ausrell townhouse these three ha ve endured it 3!! together. Obviously this Spelmanite is not lounging on MacVicar's balcony. Clearly there are some advantages to getting a high housing priority number. Some would probably Fee! a little displaced. However with friends passing by constantly, Lawna is comfortable eating, studying and relaxing in Lower Manley. When one? a commuter, a hall chair represents home base.

The commuter students of Spelman College are the saddest, most pathetic creatures on earth. They roam from the Lower Concourse of Manley Center to the dorms around campus in search of a place to temporarily call home. Once this temporary shelter is found, they are grateful and the appreciation that they feel is apparent in their actions. Student Life But things arenit always this traumatic. At times the commuter student is normal and well adjusted. These brie:C periods occur when the commuter student is in her own habitat, her apartment. They no longer worry about the overcrowded bathrooms, the leng- awaited pay phones, the the uncontrollable noise at the other end of the hall. These happy-go- lucky students enjoy the serenity of spacious apartments, the city scenes and air from the patios, and the responsibility of choosing and maintaining their living conditions and guests. The commuter student is a Spelmanite who earns her degree of living and coping everyday.

Rules Were . . . One of Spelman's most strictly en- forced rules pertains to male visitation. Men are permitted on capus for person- al visits only during the hours of 6:00 pm and 12:00 am. When a male comes to our security gate, he must show some form of identification to the security guards. Upon entering the dormitory, he must page his hostess at the front desk in each dorm. The all-call paging systen lets his hostess and everyone else on her hall know that there is a visitor waiting in th elobby. As soon as the words Man on the hallli are spo- ken, everyone seems to get an urge to go to the bathroom. We all remember from freshman year that all doors must be Open at a 45 degree angle. Of course, there is no privacy. Rules were made to be broken. II. J'! l.l , I, ' .. 1'5 i'lit'lilii'u' l M aw, 1. H'. '9': tat!
