Friends, Neighbors, and Roommates Completely spastic over the first day and drunk with scottie dog sugar cookies and pink lemonade, we met at a tea on the President ' s patio. Although we were separated with one of us in Winship and the other in Inman we realized the potential of close friendship. Ms. X: My former room- mate and I went to see her that evening. I ' ll never forget her sign on the wall saying, Rambo ' s Angel. I ' d never seen a person with a theme nor a person who belonged to a terrorist organization. Ms. Y: When I saw her I thought, Oh my God, look at the size of those bows! But you can not judge a per- son by her bows. Ms. X: We do stupid things together. We take cameras to Kroger, we have water fights in the hall, and we wear our paja- mas to breakfast. Ms. Y: Can ' t forget Monday morn- ings at 3 A.M. on the quad trying to learn to use the timer on the camera. Most important, we are known for our craftsmanship in design- ing the most efficient use of space within a Walters room. Ms. X: We know the gives and takes of being friends. I ' m there for her and she for me. We can laugh when things get tough and work through it together. It ' s been a blast. She ' s a special person and that is what makes her such a good friend. Ms. Y: We get along so well maybe because we sing in unison in the shower. I don ' t really know. All I know is that she understands me and I her.

Living In Hotel Inman ' c V ;, 5| ' ' ' ' 5 I Last year, when I found out that I was going to live in Inman, I was ecstatic! The thought of Hving in such a glamorous dorm was quite enticing. And then I woke up. No, seriously, Inman is very nice. (Although as I write this, the dryers are bro- ken, and my room resembles a backyard. Also two out of three stalls in the bathroom are for ducks only.) As far as comparison to other dorms, Inman is rather normal. The heat and air conditioning work at oppo- site seasons, the elevator has a mind of its own and doors slam shut at all hours of the As residenls o( Inman, the are e.vcilecl about, their n Col. Sancler.s a.s the (luest i morning. Living on the same floor as Ms. G is wonderful! She can always be counted on to offer advise, lend an ear or engage in cheerful conversation. Personally, I enjoy living in Inman. It has been wonder- ful getting to know the peo- ple on my hall, and even bet- ter listening and watching those loveable seniors on first floor. I often feel ex- tremely lucky. Have you ever seen dorm rooms at Tech or Georgia? I feel honored to live in such a beautiful envi- ronment — and dorm. As with everything, it all does have its drawbacks, but on the whole, I would not trade it for anything. — Kim Lamkin August of 1987 found Wal- ters as the newest victim of Agnes Scott ' s perpetual face lift program. The interior sparkled with a coat of fresh paint. Also the basement, which had stood in ruins for many years, was straight- ened up and now is a co-ed game room with ping-pong and pool. The plumbing, however, remained the same. One must still yell Hot Wa- ter before flushing to ensure that the person in the shower does not get scalded. Being a sophomore and freshman dorm, Walters is quite messy at times. Period- ic study breaks provide Wal- ters with moments of spon- tonaety. Bursts of laughter, blaring stereos, and even screams of frustration can be heard periodically after 7 p.m. Occasionally, hall par- ties and dorm parties add to the confusion. The Christ- mas pizza party, paid for by Interdorm because of Wal- ter ' s superb Christmas deco- rations, caused a lengthy dis- ruption in the studying of the Walter ' s residents. Even though the only peaceful time is after 6 pm on Friday and Saturday nights, it is nice to live in Walters. There is never a dull moment. It seems as though we are on the same mental wavelength, ya ' know? Seriously, being friends is the easiest thing I have ever done. Wacky Walters Home Away From Home Cont

In 1988, fitness seemed to be the fad. One could always find students participating in aerobics and other types of exercise. The goal of every active student was to lose weight and to firm up. How- ever it seemed to be a losing battle when no one had an active say in their diet when forced to eat in the dining hall. One cannot say how suc- cessful the fitness campaign was. However the great num- ber of participants certainly had a good time exercising. No one person was forced to exercise alone. In most cases exercising was done in groups and fun was had by all. What spurred this fitness craze? It is hard to say. Per- haps it was the presence of new extremely nice facilities. Perhaps i t was the new social pressure to be thin. Whatev- er the cause, the quest for fit- ness at Agnes Scott was most apparent. Fighting To Be Fit Fitness Craze? Sophomores Frances Scrivener and Jackie Grouse stretch out before an afternoon run. Some students get together for a friendly tennis match in order to get some exercise.
