I-'- Ca Dorm Rooms Hey, you've got to vacate for a while. I'm expecting company. 'lWhy don't you clean up your half of the room? 'tWho left my stereo on? Does any of this sound familiar'.J If you've ever lived in any campus dor- mitory, you've probably heard similar questions and statements. Upon your arrival at school, you find your way to what the housing director calls a room. This small space is sup- posed to be your home for the next eight or nine months. Since this dreary room has been tossed in your lap, you must employ a creative mind, and in some cases a limited budget to make it worth living in. All resources are exhausted, stores are thoroughly searched, tangibie assets spent and we've converted a space full of stone and wood Into a suite almost comparable to those in the WaldorfAAstoria. On the wall of the guys' room are posters of the group HVanity , Jayne Kennedy. and tucked away in the cor- ner so no other girls will see it is a pic- ture of your girl back home. Also posted are various zodiac signs and the latest album covers. Wall to wall carpeting was installed and curtains hung. And, best of all, the phone gets turned on tomorrow. eliminating the wait to use the hall phone. The girls' rooms are just about the same. except for the posters on the wall. There are images of Peabo Bryson, Luther Vandross. and whomever the pick hit male of the week is. The make- up of the room is virtually the same, ex- cept for the stuffed animals tossed everywhere. Each one has a name to fit its personality. Some rooms look just about the same. regardless of the fact that the owner is male or female. These rooms look as though they had been struck by a hurricane or something. This type of room will stay clean for a fraction of the day. Other inconveniences haunt the cam- pus student, both male and female. The showers that turn freezing cold at the most inopportune times or just won't get hot at all. You can forget the endless number of phone calls missed because someone else was on the phone. if you've got a refrigerator, dont let anyone else know or you'll get late night visitors asking for some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Even the guys who have got refrigerators will come around with their hands out for food, This is the guy you can't trust because he helps you empty your icebox Or food while his stays full. and remember those great smells you dream about between 4 and 5 in the morning. Well. they weren't dreams. That was our friend with the full icebox. Next year, when you move into the dorm, good luck and choose your friends wisely. May.'1983 t THE YEAR IN REVIEW l9
