OLD ROOMMATES NEVER DIE Yoa wer« the sister I always wanted to kill It is highly unlikely that a Scotty will finish up four years of college without the pleasure, at one time or another, of living with a roommate. Roommates are generally good things to have. If you really hit it off, they can become your best friend, and, in a pinch, your best enemy. During an emotional crunch, when you disagree on the room arrangement, each other ' s boyfriends, each other ' s friends, and life in general, she can be hell to live with. During the good times, she can be a sounding board, a source of laughter, a shoulder to cry on, or a profound relief in comparison to the loonies that surround you on the hall. Of course, everyone suffers personality conflicts at times. Some may be too major to ignore, which makes a week too long to spend in the same room with that girl. However, irony of ironies, you may discover that a couple years later — or maybe even a couple weeks after you move out — that she is really not so odious. You could even get to like her. But living with her just didn ' t make it. Other roommates may have a problem at first that dissolves with the first heavy discussion, when you discover she is not the ogre she seemed at first glance. Heavens — she is reasonably compatible. Living with her may work out after all. A few roommates can be heaven sent. When your personalities start blending so that others have difficulty telling you apart, or when someone suggests that you cut the umbilical cord because you are always together, or when even after you both take singles you still go to each other with problems, you know it is almost a marriage. But marriage could not always be so good . . . 1

mm WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE Jk . . . V.ik - Ml J tii i ' - ' ■ IH This page is dedicated to the weird weather that permeated the beginning of fall quarter. As school began, the cool weather of fall set in weeks early — and the rain struck in earnest. It spoiled Senior pictures and threatened to force the Black Cat bonfire activities into the gym where, needless to say, there could be no bonfire. . Finally, it cleared at the last minute and the bonfire was held in the amphitheatre. Since then it ' s been beautiful, so that just when I decided to write about the rain, out of frustration, it has stopped and I can ' t get any pictures.
