Creative decorating makes home, home by- Brian Howell lflf hen thinking of a college to at- tend, many students choose a school a long distance from home. The reasons usually vary from parental problems, course majors, and finan- cial situations. The idea of college life is changed for most when they enter the dorm room for the first time. Students find themselves asking the question, is living away from home good for me? A craving for home-cooked food, spending money, a gas filled car, and dear sweet Mother to wash up the pile of dirty colthes. Other minor details stand in the way of freedom, such as, sickness, haircuts, feeling of security, peace and quiet, parents guidance, and that terrible thought of no allowance. Students living in the Nelson Student Center, Tiger Hall, and apart- ments, find the first month hard to relate to friends, not being around, freedom of high school and missing their parents. Students find ways to mend these feelings by decorating their rooms and apartments to suit their tastes. Plants, bookcases, quilted bed- spread, refrigerators, stereo com- ponent system, a 19 television and a mini-stove for those late night mun- chies all help dorm rooms seem more like home. Students decorate their rooms to suit their tastes with posters, plants, glass end tables or (Continued on page 29) RY PENTHOUSE-Thls is Sigler decorated his room to give i lived-in fooling.

Cowley week filled with activities The Coaches were the over-all win- lers and members Debbie Davis, Bob luden, Ron Ryer, Joyce Eastman, Jay ackson, and Pam Mattingly had little rouble figuring out what to do with he $25 prize money. Bob Juden divided the money up Detween the team members and they =ach ended up with $5 which was quickly spent. I don ' t know what I spent my prize noney on, said Debbie Davis. I just Dut it in my billfold and probably spent it sometime. Officials, Linda Hargrove, Pam vAattingly and Lavonna Jacobs were cept busy at the tournament calling ime, giving the score, and blowing p MihMgg X the whistle. Although the turnout for Open Colige Night on Tuesday was a bit of a disappointment, Linda Puntney, coordinator of the week felt that evening was a success, too. All of the night classes were open to anyone who wanted to attend them and then we offered 13 additional courses on a one-time basis. Studen- ts, faculty and staff instructed the new courses and they ' re cooporation was super. Classes were offered in a variety of areas ranging from Producing Organizational Newsletters, to Pop Dancing to Cowboy Lessons. We only had about 40 people par- ticipate in the Open College Night but those who were there had a lot of fun, Puntney said. Bob Juden ' s Cowboy Lessons and the Pop Dancing taught by Joey Wilson and Jim Pellock were probably the most popular cour- ses and I think the instructors had a good time, too.
