Mwimd ww By Todd Moyer College days at Bloomsburg were filled with experiences one could never have at home. Getting away, meeting other people, and living on one ' s own is what college life is about. It is living in the dorm, going to a party it is barely passing a test, it is staying up all night with a friend to study for a final. Playing pinball, reading a chapter, then watching General Hospital in the T, V. lounge is what makes up a student ' s life. Yet, there are those who say there is nothing to do here. There is plenty to do, but one must make the initiative to find it. College is what one makes it. r » Clocwise from top right: School pride is shown by the Husky pin, while another kind of school spirit is shown at the student demonstration. To enjoy yourself is the name of the game whether it be a daring night at the Commons, participating in homecoming, or fraying in the winter, students enjoyed themselves.

Living in dorms is an experience for everyone. Walking down the hall, one can hear a variety of sounds. Albums blaring from their stereo speakers, laughter, scream- ing, swearing, and more laughter. This is a dorm. The place that houses the freshmen, sophomores, and some jun- iors. For many students, this was the first time they had a roommate. Most of the students found their roommates likable or at least tolerable. Then of course one has the neighbors. It soon gets to the point where no one really stays in their own rooms. Constant motion and activity, along with the concert level music from stereos, makes the dorm an exciting place. It seems as though the only time the place is quiet is at 3 a.m. or during finals. On the last day, a bit of sorrow is felt as one packs away the memories of the year in the dorm. i ' : I Wash days are never really that exciting. Students soon discovered what mothers knew for years, that doing the wash was no picnic. With his Presto cornpopper, below, John Updegrove makes some popcorn to help stop the midnight munchies. Poppers were great to have in the dorm to make a quick snack. Door decorations, for birthddss or when pledging a sorority, hung in the girls ' dorm to add some brightness to the dreary hall.
