You announce to all your friends and rela- tives that you plan to attend college in the heart of sunny Florida. Your friends are all jeal- ous, after all you will be coming home for Christmas Break with a tan, and they will all have frostbite. Your parents were a bit skeptical that you turned down Boston College because of the cold winters, but after a little research they agreed that Rollins prides itself on those same high academic standards and expecta- tions . . . just in a warmer climate. Upon the start of class, Rollins students quickly discover that studying plays a major role in their lives. Rather than staying cooped up all day long in a stuffy room or the musty library, many students learn to take advantage of the great central Florida weather and the beautiful Rollins campus. It is not uncommon to find books of all subjects cracked at the pool or at the picnic area behind McKean Hall along Lake Virginia. Other popular sunny spots in- clude the library lawn, the boat docks, the ten- nis courts benches, the gazebo at the Cornell Arts Center, Ward Hall ' s fourth floor terrace, the student center steps or even in a sunfish in the middle of Lake Virginia. This is how you explain a great tan and super grades. After all, life is not all fun in the sun at Rollins. — Karen Beavin top: Mike Menyhart and Marbles spend time studying on the Chi Psi balcony. center: A shady spot behind McKean. bottom: Kristi Gaston and friend find the student center patio a nice place to study, but another student finds the sun there a bit too strong (opposite right). 24

Oh well. Learning the combination is only a small part of the annual drudery of moving in. Also included is the joyous task of 47 trips from your car (or in some cases, your U-haul) to your room. Pity the people who fear elevators and live on the fourth floor of Ward Hall. It ' s not all bad though: look around and you ' ll probably find and O-team member to help you carry your stuff. Then there ' s refrigerator rental and the potential for non-Beans food. After a couple of days the excitement (?) of moving in and illegal painting of rooms goes away and everyone settles down to a regular routine. In a dorm, though, chaos is a regular routine for many students. You must contend with noisy neighbors and wild parties. Then again, you might have to deal with overcritical roommates who do crazy things like study and go to bed early. Then there are the dreaded trips to the bathroom down the hall. With luck, the showers may have curtains and the doors might close. But there is some hope. With the wide variety of housing Rollins offers, from tiny Matthews House to giant McKean Hall, chances are that next year you won ' t be haunted with fears of bugs, disputes over hall phones and temperamental coke machines. But don ' t hold your breath, and remember you get to go through the fun of moving in again in just three months. Sissy DeMuth 23
