Dorm life is a unique and some- times frustrating experience. Fire drills that are always followed by moans, groans and dirty looks; dorm meetings which often seem ridicu- lous; quiet hours, and being locked out of your suite. All of this and more makes up the interesting life of a dormitory. Fortunately, the good times out- weigh the bad. The laughter, shar- ing, and growing that comes from living with a variety of people makes it all worthwhile. There will always be the noisy group suite the hall. The misery of an empty mailbox for two weeks straight. But even from these hassles of dorm life we learn a great deal — mainly, patience. DORM LIFE 22

How tall did you say he was? . . . We ought to play that song about short people instead of the chimes! . . . He ' s from where? . . . What day do we get out for inau- guration? . . . They say he ' s a preacher, Centenary-semi- nary, maybe he ' s confused! . . . Have you met him? . . . I want to meet this guy for myself! and the talk went on and on and on . . . Each fall semester the Centenary community is greeted with the challenge of many new faces, but this year there was a special face in that crowd. The face of a man small in stature yet big in ideas, a man who came to help our small liberal arts college survive, someone interested in us and our needs, someone who listened as well as spoke and learned as well as taught. With him came another new face, a new Dean of Students and then there were those familiar faces that suddenly had different offices and different titles. Thus, a new administra- tion was created, a Dean that came to a dorm party dressed as a flapper, administrators that still had time to be our advi- sors, a president that leads cheers at basketball games in his spare time, but mostly a group of caring individuals. We are very lucky for we have administrators that seek to understand us, people interested in individuals not numbers and though they may sometimes arouse frustration in us they always search for solutions. Our administration is uni- que. They have to be; we are! •■ ■ ■ mrn r
