pf- c r y nCerk yHt i HqLes ADDED ALL OVER OUR BODIES it is in a vice grip may not sound like fun, but this and other body piercings were popular among students all across the country. Of course a decade ago you would have never even witnessed this phenomena because, at that time, piercing started and ended with ears. In the 90 ' s it moved onto a whole new genre that left ears behind. Carla Reese noted, My piercing makes me feel like an individual. It makes me a little bit different than the next guy, and if I don ' t want to look different I can just take it out. It ' s unique but it is not irreversible. From tongues to noses to nipples, nothing was left out by people who got into piercing. Most people chose to go to professsionals where cleanliness and sterilization were the most important factors. One such professional was Hugh Merry. Some of his main concerns in the body piercing industry were that people got good piercings that did not get infected easily or cause more pain than necessary. Since piercings were not permanent, they could be removed if desired. Angela Corsiglia said, I got my nose pierced when I was a freshman. I really liked it then but now, as I get a little bit older, I want people to take me seriously. I don ' t think many piercings are associated with maturity. Some people were cool under pressure and didn ' t have any trouble getting punctured, others were reluctant to subject themselves to this torture. It is really neat, but I just couldn ' t stomach it.. Greg Swann said. Photo by Laura Polhill The bull look of getting a nose ring through one ' s septum was popular. This nice gentleman also chose to pierce his tongue. Dioto by Charles LaBenz Body Piercing 19

4 f SPONSERED MANY ACTIVITIES C OTPPltCOTtitS jtrri v(AeA tAclr reslAcnts with a variety of activities. For Valentine ' s Day, Gila residents made cards to give to the elderly. The dormitory also partici- pated in an event called Take A Faculty To Lunch where resi- dence hall members took professors out to lunch as a sign of appreciation. Gila sponsored fun- filled events for its residents such as slumber parties in the T.V. lounge and wing dinners. Other dorms on campus offered entertainment for their members as well. Coconino, another all female dorm, held a sex bowl with the all male dorm Chochise where residents of both dorms were given the opportunity to question each other on the issue of sexual awareness. Yuma, one of the honors halls, put on a haunted house for Halloween where they accepted canned food donations as admission. Kaibab- Huachuca sponsored Christmas in April . Residents went and did fix up work such as painting and cleaning a house for a family who could not afford to hire help. Every dormitory was required to put on programs dealing with issues such as rape and alcohol awareness to inform students on the different issues they might find at college. Rape 101 and Alcohol Myths and Reali- ties were two events featured this year. Guest speakers visited the dorms and provided information to residents regarding these two topics. Dorm Daze was another activity that involved people living in the dorms. Students were able, over a period of ten days, to participate in activities such as soccer, leap frog, and world ball. Dorm living gave students a wide range of fun things to get relief from the everyday stresses of college.
