Herb Detrick Four rooms (no view) . . . what do you do with them? Plants are always a convenient remedy to lack of diningroom furniture (this page, top), and at Value-King, NEUCOM students Mitch Platin (left) and Anshu Guleria (right) stock up on a little something for their kitchen (above). A bathroom for one, like Michelle King ' s on South Depeyster, is a relief after a couple years of queuing up for a dorm shower (opposite top). But for real down-home atmosphere, nothing can beat a livingroom that ' s complete with fireplace and state of the art electronics, like the one enjoyed by Jeanette Plunkett in her house off Summit Street (opposite bottom). 22
