Q D orm life gives students a chance to meet new people who turn into lifetime friends. Living in the dorm allows students to be in the hub of social activities. Some activities that were organized this year by the Dorm Council included watching the Super Bowl, a party to decorate Christmas trees, a sundae party, and several raids. One new activity several girls organized was singing valentines for students' special someone. Mononucleosls will brlng back many memo- ries to dorm students. During November, mono rapidly spread through the women's dorm, Fry Hall, and travelled over to the men's dorm, Woolman Hall. Due to the seriousness of the virus, students with mono were sent home so the disease would not spread any faster. School was canceled the day be- fore Fall break to allow students an extra day to re- Cupefafe. -LIaaFriesen ' 4'

Friends University is no exception. During the fall semester of 1987, the students of Friends Uni- - A versity took this tradition one step further and V 5... 12 gained city-wide recognition. Here at Friends, friends shared mono. Yes, mononucleosis, that dread kissing desease, struck in epidemic propor- tion, not only attacking those with loose lips but also the shy and quiet. Old and young both became infected with the heinous vlrus which is accompa- nied by an extremely sore throat and lack of energy. The word quarantine became a well-known word as more and more people were asked to stay in their rooms until the virus was no longer infec- tous. These periods lasted for about a week, caus- ing students to miss classes and making them de- pendent upon friends to bring them their meals. The quarantine was not enough though. Water fountains and telephones became common places to plck up the vile germs. Because students were run down from burnlng the candle at both ends, that ls, staying up late to study and getting up early for whatever reason one would get up early, students became highly susceptible to the Illness. The epldemlc flnally became so bad that the admin- lstratlon was forced to close school for a day to allow extra tlme to rest. News crews from three tele- vlsion stations hlt the campus with video tape run- ning but were sure to keep their distance. The battle against this epidemic slowly wound down as students began sleeping more and taking vltamlns. Warnings not to use the water fountains and to wlpe off the phone before and after use were ablded by, and eventually friends at Friends shared good health again. ,,,,yG,,,9 B,,s,,,,, A 2 V Michelle Wilson instructs Dana Rogers that the telephone ls to be wiped all after use because ol the out break ol mononucleosis which struck the Friends University campus In the tall ol 1987.
