Resident Life: An inside Look An inside look at oompus living illus- trates that it is not as glannorous as it may seem. This year has been oharaoterized by many ohanges in resident life. The phrase resident life is used to desoribe almost all aspeots of life and sooializing whioh ocour outside the olassroom. Loft- like attaohments of raised bed and a dresser fill the rooms of Butler and Ham- merman and new vending machines have been added. The landscaping done to the McAuley apartments re- placed the former grassy courtyard. Charleston has witnessed the addition of a common study and recreation area. Charleston Commons, and four apartments reserved for Community Service Housing. Under the leadership of Father Bill Sneck, students in this program participate in the volunteer services and activities, and meet together to share ideas and ex- periences. The Residence Life Office has moved to the Charleston area. Park- ing gates occupy the entrances and exits of both Charleston and Wynne- The Party ' s Here! wood Towers. West Wynnewood is being rebuilt, and just a few yards away a complex of new garden apartments is being built. Now to the more personal side. There are a few nevers for students living on campus at Loyola College. First, never think a long distance phone call will not last longer than five minutes, never assume, oh, my roommates will not mind, and never, never attempt to do laundry on a Sunday night. Concerns such as the phone bill, roommate preferences, and vying for a washing machine when everyone else is also wearing their last pair of clean socks and has an eight o ' clock class are common to campus residents. Mini-refrigerators, popcorn poppers, hot pots, oodles of noodles, and loose change for the lobby and lounge vend- ing machines are essentials in Butler and Hammerman for satisfying the need for food. Fortunately the fast food havens of Seven-Eleven, McDonalds, Royal Farms, Popeye ' s and of course, the new Melanzoni ' s are nearby for dire emer- gencies and intense cravings. Of the the three basic needs: clothing, food, and shelter, a Loyola resident assumes shelter can be taken for granted — or can it? Just after Christmas break. West Wynnewood residents were informed that their side of the building was on the verge of collapsing. They had to evacuate, and relocate in East Wynnewood, Charleston, and the dorms. Despite this upheaval, 1986-87 resi- dent life had its share of good times. Students gathered together for activities such as sledding, barbecues, softball, frisbee, and hackysack to cite a few. RAC and Residence Life organized such activities as caroling, ice cream socials, crab feasts, intramural teams, progressive dinners, movies, and study breaks. The RA ' s and staff have worked hard to plan such programs, but Loyola life can be much better yet if more people get involved, help plan activi- ties, and openly discuss concerns and ideas.
