For the student, this is his new home. He ' ll study here, sleep here, relax here and a million other things. However four blank walls do not a home make. And so the student takes on the role of interior decorator. The OFFICE OF RESIDENTIAL LIFE provides some of the basics - four walls and ceiling, furniture, and paint. Yet the furniture is usually used as well as abused and the selection of paint is limited. 21

His first objective is usually to hide the walls, be it with paint, corkboard, or various posters. Most men prefer centerfolds, while the ladies go for pictures of cute animals. Some mask their walls with photographs, artwork or movie posters. The more practical designer just slaps on a calender, a memo board, his schedule, and maybe a dining menu. The more artistic student takes brus h in hand and paints a masterpiece upon the wall. Most of these master- pieces resemble album covers. But so often one man ' s masterpiece is another man ' s eyesore, and the painting is buried under three coats of blaise yellow.
