It ' s not much, but it ' s home The Rollins College dorms are actually small communities in themselves. Pinehurst offers an eternal intellectual atmosphere for those students possessing an insatiable quest for knowledge. The members of the Fine Arts House reside in Rex Beach dorm. Here they put together small skits for the enjoy- ment of the entire campus. They live in a comfortable coexistence since they share a mutual interest in the arts. The three largest dorms: McKean, Ward, and Elizabeth Halls are more of a hodge- podge of people. These dorms are more akin to the stereotyped college way of life. (There is always someone awake at 3:00 a.m., a constant hum of a blowdryer, and the palpatation of a loud stereo.) Living in these dorms is quite a learning experience for in- coming freshmen. Consideration of those around yo u is the major lesson taught to these students. Some of the most choice housing on cam- pus is in the fraternity and sorority houses. These houses are well maintained and most- ly consist of single-rooms which means that they are the most sought after by students. Fortunately and unfortunately, these are re- served to those in the respective fraternities and sororities. Matthews House is an en- gima. Students with totally different inter- ests and backgrounds live in this small house. The only thing they have in common is that they live in Matthews House. Holt Hall provides a quiet, peaceful atmosphere because of it ' s location of the outskirts of campus. Students living in Holt enjoy their privacy, but don ' t feel excluded from cam- pus life. No matter what dorm of houses you live in during your four years at Rollins, they are your home away from home. Casey Harding

ml 1 Registration occurs two times during the year — early September and late Novem- ber. Both of these days are days that want to be avoided by everyone involved. For most, it involves one headache after another. After thumbing through endless pages of course listings and descriptions to find a course that he needs or kind of likes, the student must sprint over to his advisor to get his approval, and then go to the computer to see if there is an opening. If the course is closed, he must start this process all over again. This can go on from one hour to even four hours depending on his luck. It is a mad house that is open from 8:00 a.m. — 4:00 p.m. It is the only way to handle registration even though students continue to try to think of other ways. 17

Many of the students made bunk beds out of their beds to allow for more room. It creates a different kind of look besides giving more storage space. This door in McKean Hall definitely expresses what is on the mind of this mysterious occupant. I wonder if he has taken into consideration the manner in which he is going to remove those pinups. It looks like an eventful day for Neal Gilder. He decided not to study one Saturday afternoon, but to play mouse trap and drink beer. Your dorm room is your home away from home, and it is up to the individual to make it or break it. Scott Ashby has decorated his room moderately compared to others on campus. 19
