:h: No Longer a Dorm This year left me pondering the question: Did I live in a dorm or a residence hall ? How utterly uninformed I was to think that this great assemblage of brick, standing mightily before me was anything less than a Residence Hall. These two words were spoken with a dignified tone as though just the mere mention of them conjured up visions of fine living and elegant surroundings. The funny thing is when I looked at my Residence Hall all I saw was a dorm. The fascination with making something sound more socially acceptable by changing it ' s name has become an American pastime, but this new addition only struck me with a bad case of deja vu. Remember when they began calling janitors, sanitation engineers ? Or how about when being handicapped didn ' t sound right . Luckily now people are just physically impaired . I probably wouldn ' t have cared or even noticed if the words dorm and residence hall had been used interchangeably but while attending an RHA meeting I was told by a friend that the word dorm was one four lettered word I wanted to avoid. The punishment for using such a word, besides public humiliation, was for the offender to empty his or her pockets and add any change found to the Cup. A fun and light-hearted approach to censorship. All I knew was that all of a sudden I had an incredible urge to yell DORM, DORM, DORMMMMMMMM!!!! and then run for my life. I can only shutter at what the consequences would have been after such an outburst. Dorm was not the only word banished from the Dictionary of Proper Descriptives. Head residents were replaced by Hall Directors and pages by Desk Clerks. I ' m sure the humiliation and embarrassment of the former names were too much to bear. All politics aside, I do believe changing names is not a bad idea. It gives a positive connotation to what may otherwise be thought of in a negative way But in our search for flashy titles we ' ve abandon a more important sta ndard of aualitv. Living in a dorm was a great experience but living in a Residence Hall wasn ' t any greater Kathie Anderson Rockers, or shall we say musical technicians, Kyle Gestrab and Palani N. break the sound bar- while practicing a favorite tune.
