Life and living at ONU offered stu¬ dents a place to eat and sleep, but did it really provide a home away from home? That depended on the student and the choices he or she made. Freshmen and newcomers to campus most likely found them¬ selves in one, of many dorms. The fellowship of friends next door and down the hall, plus the ready access to laundry facilities, lounges, private study rooms, and campus made the dorms a convenient place to live. Upperclass Greeks were able to choose whether to live in a fraternity or sorority house. Often demand for such housing was on a competitive and seniority basis, but it did provide an alternative and additional free¬ dom from life in the residence halls. Off-campus housing in local apart¬ ments was a choice for seniors and law students. No matter the living arrangement, though, students made their space a home away from home, with the flair that only a student could give to an empty dorm room or new apartment.

“You Mean I Have To Study Too?” Being a student means a lot of things, but it primarily means that one spends a great deal of time studying. From accounting to zoology, there are books to be read, papers to write, speeches to give, and projects to complete. The questions of Why Study, How to Study, When to Study, and Where to Study con¬ fronts every scholar to be, and every student answers the above questions in his own way. With the question of Why Study? being the most promi¬ nent, one soon learns that if one chooses not to study, then the hopes of becoming a successful scholar quickly disappear. So, in order to be successful, we conclude that study¬ ing is worth our time. The questions that follow, then, are When, Where, and How. First of all, most any time’s a good time for studying, whether it be before class, during class, after class, or the night before the big test. Where to Study offers a wide range of choices; dorm, lounge, library, chapel, local coffee shop, or in class buildings. And we answer the final question of How to Study, with friends, without friends, with food, without food, while wide awake, or through the magical forces of osmo¬ sis. Yes, students have to study too. 20 Student Life: Studying
