money management Some students feel that their core curriculum requirements are not only a waste of time but are full of information that is of little or no use to their futures. Strangely, the class that is most needed for incoming freshmen and in some cases, fifth year seniors, is inadvertently left out. Money Management 101 is desperately needed for those whose debit cards carry a total of $0.32 and for those who will spend what little money they do have on petty but desirable things. S Josh Watson, from Alpharetta. said that he will spend up to thirty dollars in one night and have nothing to show for it the next day. My headache proves that I had a good time but my wallet is completely empty. All students know that it isn ' t. ' . f downtown that breaks the budgets of UGA students, it is required materials that cost students the most. After leaving the bookstore you are already $200 dollars in the hole and you know full well that you won ' t get much of it back. Daniel Bailey, an English major, stated this along with the com- ment that school books are needed but very depressing to buy. J For the lucky ones, the college years are payed for by the parents, but for the self-supported, there is an understood appreciation for the cost of Raimen noodles and a 99X freeloader card. However, all students should appreciate the fact that money spent for anything in Athens is money WCll Spent and that perhaps the most valuable bit of information learned at UGA is that the best things in life aren ' t free.

Heather Biickly.

NOT EXACTLY A DREAJM r- ■■-r V k« r Four a.m. fire drills, constantly KCCpiIlg track of access cards, sharing a bathroom with 30 other people, and making new friendships that can last a lifetime all become integral parts of the residence hall experience. Over 6,000 people called one of the 1 7 residence halls home for the academic year. The majority of the residents were freshmen, using the dorms as an adjustment to college life. Although many rules went along with life in the dorms, a certain level of independence was offered, allowing visitation schedules ranging irOlll weekend only visitation to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week visitation. Community councils kept their creative abilities at a peak by allotting funds to programs like Halloween activities, tutoring, big brother and sister programs for local children, blood drives, study groups, hall contests and residence hall improvements. Students were often found basking in the sun on their dorms ' front lawns, lounging on the lobby sofas and chairs, watching TV or trying to find pCclCe cinQ CJUlCt in study lounges. Graduate residents, class advocates, resident assistants and other housing employees were always dealing with concerns and trying to enrich the lives of their residents. Residence halls aided in meeting new people, providing convenience to the campus and creating a safe, secure place to live. Elizabetln CI2amjpt ell . f i ' 20 « Residence hall life
