There ' s nothing like the Sunday night meal in the dining hall to make us truly appreciate the dorm kitch- ens! Day or night, you can smell brownies, cakes, cookies, or occa- sionally, a real meal complete with meat in the oven. And if the stove ' s not on, you can be sure that some- one is raiding the refrigerator. Only the most studious Scottie can resist pulling her nose out of a book and joining a popcorn party where thirty minute study breaks last at least two hours — especially if the movie is good and or stars Paul Newman or Robert Redford! Movies are not the only shows that keep us glued to the tube, however. Where else could we look to find situations more tragic than ours? Soap operas, of course! (Should Jill marry John if his wife Joan will give him a divorce, or Jack, who ' s the father of her child, though she doesn ' t love him, or Jerry, who she really loves but wouldn ' t marry her if he knew the baby wasn ' t his? Personally, I think she should stay with her husband Bill!) There ' s absolutely no way to get out of it — the wash has to be done at least once a month. And even then it may be 3:00 A.M. before you can find an empty washer or dryer. And thank goodness for permanent press — who has time to iron, much less sew on a button or make a dress! Even though the library closes at 10:30 P.M., that doesn ' t mean we can close our books for the night. Some do manage to get eight hours of sleep but most of us see the sun come up at least twice a quarter from the most obscure little study niches we can find.
