Some of Us Live Here Day After Day A delivery truck creeps through the park- ing lot to the cafeteria while students sleep. The sun untangles itself from the bare trees. Silence is broken by the buzz of alarm clocks, the clicking of light switches, the hissing of showers. Books are gathered and doors slowly squeak open. The stirring of people vibrates down the hall. Once out of doors, the cool brisk air reaf- firms morning and the start of a day in the life of a student. Time is juggled through morning and into afternoon. Music from the dorm drifts down and swirls around students on their way to the cafeteria. Inside, the hum of chatter rises as spoons and forks are busily conversing with plates, interrupted only by the student ' s hands and mouths. Thoughts of the rest of the day are savored along with the food. Afternoon brings complacency and stu- dents are tantalized into leaving their studies and daydreaming of paradise far from the professor ' s class. Later, the trees again catch hold of the exhausted sun and the necessity of study looms. In the dorms, music swirls while laugh- ter prances. Television is sprinkled from room to room while silence lies dormant somewhere for studying. Finally light pushes back the darkness which surrounds the campus like a blanket. While the last page is read, the final check of Exotic gourmet cooking is not what students at Lou-U , jf loo k for; just a decent hamburger that won ' t bite back! events for tomorrow is confirmed, and the last light switch is flipped off, darkness and solitude floods the dorm rooms. Only the mid- night oil of some diligent students refuses to yield to the darkness, but that too will end, along with another day in the life of a student. Neither rain nor snow nor threat of tests can keep these Louisburg students from going to class. To get his morning going, Mark Hooker jams out with the sounds of Blackfoot. •ff tvSi lff ' . .Si - ' I

Some of Us Live Here Whoever said that there are two things we cannot escape, death and taxes, obviously overlooked laundry. We might postpone death and we might evade taxes, but we will never escape laundry. For those who do their own, it can be like cleaning the garbage after you just ate, or it can be the star-studded extravaganza of the day. After watching all those commercials on laundry detergent, one might assume that doing the laundry isn ' t all bad. But then, you know that laundry commercials are geared to sell the product, not to the realities of ground- in dirt. The guys have some catching up to do compared with the girls. For most of them. Mom and the washing machine were taken for granted. But with infrequent trips home and the pressure of dirty underwear, guys have had to learn. They have discovered the machine and washing detergent for the first time. As to date, the whites are getting a little whiter and the ring around the collar is be- coming a thin necklace. Having mastered the art of clothes, guys, like their female counterparts, tackle making a home out of their rooms. Now we have the chance to use stuff we have found, collected, or bought. After everything is done, you can either win the Interior Designer Award or the Fred G. Sanford Junkman Award. But what- Cheer up and Gain confidence in your Fabulous deter- gent before you Punch it out. ever goes in, it reflects your character and personality. Rooms also reflect lifestyles. Some are ex- otic, some home-spun and simple, some flam- boyant. They can be a quiet place of refuge or the light and sound of Studio 54 or Ameri- can Bandstand. Whatever the case, be it ever so humble, it ' s home. At least for the duration of your stay at Louisburg. Coming back to Merritt ' s laundry room to find your favorite shirt with mysterious stains or your best pair of socks no longer a pair can make a bad day worse. Using his favorite detergent, pitcher Kevin Korpi is caught in the act.
