Dennis Eames - 'f u. Koren WolterS Secret zoos , give students ; PET PEEVES Sadie Jo Fish moved into Centennial Hall in December. Al- though she was unfamil- iar with the surround- ings, she adjusted quickly. Fish roamed freely between rooms, making herself at home. Not everyone liked her, especially not the resident advisers. Sadie was a cat. In the residence halls fish are the only pets allowed to stay in the rooms. However, some students found these non-cuddly occupants of the deep bor- ing, so they disregarded the rules and smuggled in a few exceptions, which were well hidden from resident advisers. Aware of the policy, three women decided to liven up their rooms anyway. Freshmen Lisa Adams, Regan Lacina and Diane Schiermann went to the Hu- mane Society Animal Shelter and adopt- ed a kitten, which they named Sadie Jo Fish. ttWe call her Fish because theyire le- gal tin the hall roomsif Adams said. After taking her home, the girls let the kitten run between their rooms. Everything went well a for a while. Stopping by the wom- ensi rooms on a noise complaint, the RAs discovered the secret about Fish. ttThey told us to get rid of it, so we hid it in another room for two days? La- cina said. Regardless of the warning, the wom- en decided to keep their pet. However, it was sometimes difficult to keep the pet confined to an area the size of a student,s hall room. ttShe got out one day; I chased her down the hall? Lacina said. ttShe almost got to the RAis door. I caught her just in time. It was beautiful? Almost everyone enjoys the compa- ny a pet can bring, but some students agreed with Residence Lifeis policy. Never the less, Sadie continued to live contentedly as well as did other pets that lived illegally in the residence halls. V SJeHDM UGJDM A furry resident of Valen- tine House is Sadie the cat.
