CHANGING PLACES J Kelly Schachner Garner Johnson Moving in, it is some- thing everyone who goes to college must do, but no one likes to do. The time when one must take that crash course in interior design, whether they are decorating a dorm room, a house, or an apartment. It does not matter where you live, it is what you do with what you have that counts. Whether or not UGA students decide to create an elaborate setting, each one of them adds to their college home a part of their character. Some peo- ple create their home away from home using a color scheme. They match anything from curtains to the telephone. On the other hand, some simply choose to put up a favor- ite poster on the wall. Whichever the case, a stu- dent needs to make an atmosphere that will be comfortable. To get that homey-feeling, some students choose to bring lots of pictures, a corsage from a formal, or a favor- ite stuffed animal. Stu- dents found millions of ways to become interior decorators and make their living quarters a place they can call home. Lea Mitchell and Elizabeth Schutte make their home at the Zeta house.

p Accounting 1 : Deanna Newman Being away at college gives students many opportunities to learn how to take on re- sponsibilities of their own. One being how to manage money and expenses. In addition to handling classes, students must pay endless amounts of bills. For those who live on campus. life is somewhat easier be- cause everything is paid quarterly, such as housing and food. But, there are also other expenses, such as mon- ey needed for entertainment and clothing. Those who choose to live off campus have additional bills, all which are due monthly. There are bills for electricity, cable t.v, and phone service, which are not included in the cost of rent. Although parents, loans, and scholarships help stu- dents pay for school bills, not every bill or need may be net, and so students must find ways to pay for those needs by getting a job. Some popu- lar places that students work at are Bennigan ' s, Guthries, and Georgia Square Mall. The University hires many stu- dents to work in the library, food services, and the resi- dent halls. Once money is earned, stu- dents must learn to manage their money wisely, which hopefully is something that they learn to do throughout their lives. Gelling money from home or work is a higblighl of a sludent ' s day. Paige Griner
