I didn't. When someone told me that there was an Iranian student attending 2C- ZC, I tried to get a mental image of the country. All I came up with was a vague collection of half-learned facts from 9th grade world history: Sandstorms, camels, and sheiks in sheets. I began wondering How did he hear about our school? What's it like in Iran? Which country did he like better? Well, after talking with freshman Jalil Tooshi, I wished I had paid more attention in 9th grade. Caught up in a cultural misconception, I asked such brilliant questions as Your father's two wives-did he have them at the same time? and What's it like during the monsoon season? Later on I found out that polygamy is virtually extinct in this hot, arid country, which has no monsoons. Luckily, Jalil has a good sense of humor, and we finally man- aged to wade through my embarras- sing mistakes. One of the questions I asked Jalil was how he heard about our school. It turned out to be a long story. Or- iginally he had been a hotel manager in Iran. He decided that he was ready l Larry Surace, Mike Hogan, Patti Ed- for a change and so started traveling first in Europe and then in America. He lived in California for awhile and eventually ended up in Washington. There he talked with a friend of one of his friends from California. This new acquaintance was familiar with Auburn and recommended 2C2C. A civil engineering major, Jalil was glad he came. Although he miss- ed about 45 percent of what was said in class because of the Persian! English language difficulties, he thought that the program was very good. While we were talking, it was snowing, one of the first storms of New York's notorious winter.

. lf' Tre ' . - - 0 you get along with Your room- 1 A mates, landlord, and neighbors? This question got varied responses from C4 students who lived in student housing. 3' ' H Wm Those who spent hours in apartments lent themselves to many memorable events. Starting with a trek to locate a va- cant room or apartment, students be- gan a new semester and a new way of life. Rent regretfully paid out for an apartment for four or five students ranged from 574 to S95. It was amaz- ing how fast that rent seemed to come due! Roommates were sometimes a prob- lem. Differences surfaced over too much phone, too much noise, and too much for not enoughj religion. Need- less to say, rotation of roommates was NO ONE ELSE IS HOME, so Kathy Larsen uses the silence to study for her French final.
