Sleep is a rare phenomena experi- enced by few when Hving in one of Pearl River ' s six dormitories. Talk- ing, laughing, practical jokes, feuds, and noise in general create an atmosphere which could only be found in a dorm. Girls living in White and Marion Halls had to go through the tedious, tiresome task of signing in and out and worrying about being in on time, while boys were virtually left on their own. Nevertheless, elabo- rate methods of getting around restrictions and curfews were invented by each. Many who viewed dorm life as a sort of solitary confinement found some consolation in late night activi- ties such as pre-Perk dances, jam sessions, Christmas parties, and var- ious mischievous illegalities.

Moving In — A Hassle for Students Moving in is an especially trying time for most students. Finding out you live on the third floor of Huff or being made to believe no males are permitted upstairs in Marion Hall, not even to help with several large suit- cases, can be an experience in itself. Multiply this by being too late to get the bottom bunk, when you have this thing about heights, and quickly realizing that your roommate loves animals, hates sports, and has this infatua- tion for Doritos.

Student Center Provides Outlet for Students Activities on Pearl River ' s campus were scattered after last year ' s decision to ban dances. The Student Center provided a needed outlet for resident students, offering them a variation of pool, foosball. and air hockey. Cafeteria officials broke campus monotony by sponsoring several buffet suppers, a Halloween Carnival, and a Valentine ' s Day special version of the Dating Game. The two tennis courts on campus were in constant use by student tennis buffs, while extra curricular Karate classes became a novelty attraction for a number of curious PRC males. 1 4 J 18
