Dormitory. n. a residence hall providing room for individ- uals or for groups usually without private baths. QWebster's New Collegiate Dictionaryj Dorm. n. a student hotel with separate rooms containing two small beds, two desks and chairs, a medicine chest, a wastebas- ket, and, usually, a roommate. fresident definitionj True, these things are found in a dormitory. But also found are new friends, a big change in atmosphere, and little privacy. Once the friendships have been established, the change in atmosphere and the privacy problems are a little easier to overcome. Even getting caught in the middle of a panty raid, getting startled back to reality by a douse of cold water in the shower, or opening a vaseline door isn,t so bad if there's someone around to join in the laughter. And if a resident ever gets bored, there's always a card game going on in the lounge, a good show on TV, laundry to be done, or a bag of popcorn to be popped in the basement. Or .... there's always studying to be done. Houseparents Eileen and Roy Feldman in Kent Hall, the women's dorm, and housemother Vivian Owens in Elland Hall, the men's dorm, are usually on hand to offer suggestions or help with problems. Also on hand are plenty of friends and a roommate who can double the joys and divide the sorrows of the highs and lows of college life. The dormitory experience - good or otherwise - provides a student with memories and experiences never to be forgot- ten.

Dave Williams, Liberal freshman, and Pete Shauers, Beeler freshman, enjoy a mind boggling card game in Elland Hall.
