D DORM LIFE It takes at least one semester to adjust to living in the dormitory. Many never do, and spend four years thinking up devious schemes for getting around the mandatory dorm residence rules and breaking into freedom off campus. Once you ' re in the dorm, there are papers to be signed for almost every- thing you do, and suddenly it ' s everybody ' s business if you ' ve got a girl in your room or if you stay out all night. If nothing else, four years of dorm life will teach you how to cram all your worldly belongings into half of one tiny cubicle called a room, or how to put up with the dork next door who keeps his radio on KEEL all the time. Nevertheless, at a college the size of Centenary, the dormitory is cer- tainly a center of social activity, and some of the best parties of the year took place in dorm rooms across the campus. DRINKING Drinking has long been an estab- lished tradition among Centenary students, but it is not permitted on the campus itself. In the past, attempts have been made to alter the rules, but each time the iron will of the Church has blocked any mention of change.

The food is often over- cooked and desserts sometimes have to be pried from the plates, but then institutional food is rarely a gourmet treat and Centenary is no exception. EQUAL RIGHTS Equal rights finally came to Cen- tenary this year. For the first time a woman was president of the SGA, and after years of grumbling by many female (and male) students, Hamilton Hall was forced by Title 9 of Congress to equalize hours and priv- ileges between men ' s and women ' s dorms and to provide equal opportu- nity for participation in sports. The new rules have had little effect, how- ever, for Centenary is too firmly rooted in its Southern tradition to be transformed easily. Double stand- ards remain fairly common and men still open doors for the ladies, though perhaps not as often. F FOGELBERG After a rush of last minute deci- sions and arrangements, Dan Fogel- berg appeared at Centenary in Octo- ber. His concert was one of the more memorable events of the year, with soft lights and easy music that lasted for almost three hours. Accustomed to playing to crowds of 3,000 or 18
