m ? . ' Another experience exclusive to college years is the communal living of the dormitory. All of a sudden, one is expected to make their own bed. clean their own room, and wash their own clothes, and sometimes to adjust to college life with a stranger as a roommate. This year the Freshmen experienced a crowdling problem. Some were forced to live in the ironing rooms but used their creativity to design a truly decorat- ed room. Others chose to surmount the housing shortage by building lofts in their rooms. There is also an adjustment to a lack of privacy to be made — for example, hall telephones. A neat room is the key to some students ' peace in the dorm; while for others, neatness seems to have been overlooked. Nevertheless, dormitory living is the supreme test for college survival. P. 20.

Mealtime and Social Hour Although the adjustment from homecooked meals three times a day to Acy ' s call in the grill or the mystery meat in the cafeteria can be a difficult one, mealtime at Millsaps is a time for relaxing and visiting with friends during a hectic, test filled week. The cafeteria is a meeting place and a place for finding that someone one has needed to see but can never seem to find. The grill is the escape from the questionable menu at times in the cafeteria. It is also the loitering place between classes or the place for last minute cramming before tests while hurriedly swallowing some food. Although the cuisine may at times not be gourmet, the atmosphere and availability of the two restaurants of Millsaps are their successes.
