HALL LIFE THERE'S G PLACE LIKE HD It's been said that a man's home is his castle... let's make that a person's home and refer to our surrogate homes - the dorm room. The residence halls are a very important aspect of many stu- dents' lives. Most students eat, sleep, study, and live in their residence hall. According to Towers resident Kim Carter, Students benefit from living in the residence halls by getting to experience different cultures and having interactions with other people. Carter also stat- ed, The halls provide a sense of unity. When a person says something bad about your hall, you take a stand for it. lt's similar to a family. Even though Dearmont resi- dent Betsy Harris considers the hall, a place to rest between weekends, she also believes that the halls help you get to know people and make a lot of new friends. Since the hall is such a special place, the dorm room is even more important. Residents like to decorate their rooms ac- cording to their own tastes. Some tape pictures all over the walls, while others may just have one small framed picture sitting on a shelf. My favorite item in my room is my authentic 1940's portrait of Cary Grant, said Dearmont resident Amber Wehmeyer. I think Cary adds an air of nostalgia and classiness to the room. No two dorm rooms are ex- actly alike, nor are two people exactly alike. Each resident makes the room hisfher own, which is quite evident by the design of Towers North resi- dents Bob Rosen and Brad Hurt. They wanted their room to have that special look that only theirs could have, and they got it with the use of some very dif- ferent ideas like the shiny wall- paper covering all the walls. The Different strokes for different folks is evi- dent with the flashy colors and the modern ceramics and posters that adorn the cabinets and walls of the Towers North room that Bob Rosen shares with his roommate Brad Hurt. 2 2 Hall Life use of bright reds and silvers add a touch of elegance with a shade of boldness. Different personalities are reflected by how one decorates a room. 'fMy room is a combination of two distinct personalities, claimed Amber Wehmeyer. She said, Even though the room isn't exactly divided half-and- half, with my things on one side and my roommate's on the oth- er, the personalities still shine. Mine is more descriptive of the down-to-earth, country atmo- sphere. My roommates is the city-type, high class style. It makes for an interesting con- cept in interior design. john Lottie, a resident of Towers, stated, My room pro- vides me a place to sleep be- tween the parties. The room does serve as a temporary home. And, as we all know, there's no place like home. by Robin Burks ' fbmw.

Bulletin boards in the dorms keep students informed of upcoming events on and off campus. Towers West resident Scott Vem- mer is taking in some very interesting infor- mation on Spring Break 1988.
