Getting to know you A roommate..-friend or foe? (Having a roommate not only offers the opportunity to enhance your wardrobe, add to - our transportation facilities and borrow a few bucks here and there, but it also gives college stu- dents c. chance to get to know other peop'e and possibly develop relation ships that could last their entire lives. The reasons for having any particular roommate and choosing certain living conditions vary as much as do in- dividuals. With he ecomomic situation being what it is today, you can bet that funds ' or the lack thereof, is an im- portant consideration for students when they attempt to find somewhere to live while going to school. Pittsburg offers a variety of living ar- rangements particularly for students. Facilities range all the way from the basic dormitory, to apartments, mobile homes and houses. The majority of students, given the average student income, can't afford to live alone. So, the trek begins to find the suitable roommate—which is preferrably one that can be tolerated for at least one semester. For some Pittsburg State University students, this doesn't prove to be a dif- ficult task, and many are very satisfied with the living conditions they have found. Ginger Dunn, Pittsburg senior, and Staci Whaley, Wellsville junior, were pretty fortunate in finding accom- modations last fall. Dunn's parents moved to the Chicago area after her father received a company transfer. They took their house off the market and Dunn and Whaley agreed to move in at a reasonable expense. MEMBERS OF THE Sigma Chi fraternity have found that eating scheduled house meals buffet-style is inexpensive and fun.

Rebecca Randolph, Lake Quivira senior, how this Batik material tablecloth was made by hand, —photo by Brett Roberts Dunn said that all of the bills are paid by her parents and then sent here where her and Whaley split the cost. As fur food and eating arrangements, it's a little hard to catch them both at the same me. V c go ahead and do our own grocery shopping because a lot of times we don't get the chance to sit down to a meal together, Dunn said. But, if it turns out that we can eat at the same time, we share a lot things. You really get just as much out of it as you put in, o we think it's pretty fair. Being involved in so many things at school and with classes and other ac- tivities, there's no one around a lot of the time. So, if something needs done, and you've got a minute, you do it, Whaley said. Doug Newson, Wellsville junior, also lives in a house but has a little less privacy. 'With four guys living in one house, there's always something going on and we usually see a lot of each other. Most all of us are out of classes by early after- noon, so we just kind of hang around or watch television together, he said. Newson added that the expense is definitely less when you're able to split costs four ways, We divide everything—even the grocery bill—and usually everyone gets his fair share, including the chores of cooking and washing dishes since we almost always eat together, he said. Two of Newson's roommates are from his hometown and have known each other for some time, but he said that by living together, they have definitely gotten closer. Grant McKibben, Leavenworth senior, chooses to make his college home with not just two or three other people but 16, by living in a fraternity house. It has a lot of advantages. You're in a family-type situation. There's always someone around and it's definitely never lonely. If you need someone to do something for you or someone to just talk to, you know you don't have to continued on page 22 Roommates Living Z

McKibben said that in living with so many other guys, there's got to be a lot of give and take and a lot of sharing. “Sometimes there's a party going on when you want to go to bed, sometimes you have to wait awhile to get in the shower and you don't always have the privacy you might want. But, most everyone is pretty considerate, and everyone holds respect for other people's rooms and property. Overall, Roommates Living
