A different kind of living Learning to live with others-dorm life Dear Mom and Dad, Once again-a letter from me. I've been here a few weeks now and things are going pretty well. It's wildhere in the dorm-I donit see how anyone gets much studying done ii suppose that's what the library is for, thoughi. My roommate and I get along fine. iThat's one big worry out of the wayi, but I feel sorry for this girl down the hall. Her roommate is always throwing wild parties while sheis trying to study. The neighbors on all four sides of me iup, down, left and righti seem to be okay. One of the girls upstairs tap dances at odd times dur- ing the night and one of the girls on the right plays the bass every hour on the hour. Other than that, things couldnit be quieter. We've had a few hall meetings where the resident assistant tRAi got up and told us about everything-where to get keys, how to conduct ourselves during panty raids and not to walk across campus alone at night. We have room checks every week and a, hall supper com '9 up ngttymeeen The unniest : e dinner future It s f T. treating and we nder: Evidence , know estadorng 16TDorm Life

E TSU students move in U-hauI-it, they-haul-it, we aII-hauI-it 'Dear Mom and Dad, Things here at ETSU are great. It took me hours to get all my stuff moved from the car to the dorm, and unpacking it aIl-well, that's an- other story. It didnlt seem like I had that many things packed. but somehow, after I made umteen trips to the car and up four flights of stairs tthe elevator wasn't working I changed my mind. Next year, I'm definitely going to pack lighter- elther that or find a boyfriend with lots ot mus- cle and willingness to cart box after box up the stairs and around corners. The only box I really had trouble with was the crate that had all my albums in it. I know that must have weighed at least a ton! Maybe i should have hired a professional moving company like Allied or Mayflowerll it seems like nobody does that though. Instead, itts a uehauI-it, station wagon-it, Datsun-it or Mustang-lt proposition. You know how it goes. Hope everything is okay at home. As I said. llm all moved in tboy do I dread moving this junk back outll I've got to run to a hall meet- ing. Will write more later. ttlt was so hard to sneak my boyfriend and my liquor to my room. eAnonymous, Special Education Carrying my stereo up three flights of stairs and cleaning up my room before I could move in. -Paula Bishop, Math Left: Celeste Coxton begins the tedious process of moving in with a suitcase and book bag.
