Whites Go In Hot! The Hassles Of House-Cleaning Many responsibilities are placed on a student entering college, and these responsibil- ■ include the many domes- duties the student has to srtake. For the students liv- on campus, domestic du- ties seem very time-consum- ing. Duties differ among the stu- dents who live in the dorms and the students who choose Ive in the apartments. There some simple pleasures that artment dwellers enjoy that m livers can never appreci- i. Apartment dwellers can leave dirty dishes in the sinks for as long as they want. They can also have their parents up for a leisurely weekend. But. this means that certain extra do- mestic duties have to be per- formed. Those dirty dishes will Ktually have to be washed put away for future use only to be washed and put away again. A dorm liver does not have to worry very much about dirty dishes. The cafete- ria crew handles them. A visit from parents usually puts a strain on both apartment and dorm dwellers. Visits mean hid- ing all the liquor bottles and beer cans, picking up three months worth of dirty clothes, and stuffing everything else in the closet. No student wants Ma and Pa to know they have lived in a pigpen for the three months that have passed. Brooms, mops, clean- ers, and air fresheners are put frantically to work. The place will look spotless for only the time the parents are in town; otherwise, things usually do not seem to find their proper place. Laundry is another must. That is, unless your Mom does not mind doing three months of dirty clothes. Generally, stu- dents proceed to the local laundry mat or to the washers and dryers located on cam- pus, trying to decide which clothes are washed in hot- warm-or cold water. Mom sometimes finds a once white shirt has somehow turned pale blue, but chalks it up to exper- ience. Since students share a room in the dorms, living in them is a unique experience. Though it gives students a chance to ex- plore many possibilities for friendship and social life, it can also be a confusing and rigor- ous time. Since there is a lack of privacy, roomies have to maintain a sense of cleanliness. The domestic duties are shared by both and consider- ation is a big issue. Neatness can sometimes cause prob- lems, but more often than not, things work out domestically. by Demise Sneed 41 V« 111

Christmas at the Salvation Army. (Actually, this is a PFM special) Machines provide comfort for all the caffeine-addicted students 1 Battle Of The Bu e One of the most widely dis- cussed topics at college is food. Most people tend to think that they ' ll lose weight once they ' re at school. One popular belief supporting this theory is that students are not supposed to cook in their rooms, but what about the ex- tra burner or oven you brought anyway? There is also an idea that the food in the cafeteria is so bad that students won ' t eat it (but what about all the sand- wiches and french fries that are gobbled up?) These are just two things that lead to the Battle of the Bulge. Another belief is one of the utmost truth. NIGHT RAID!!! It ' s 11:00 at night and the news starts. Then someone casually mentions, Aren ' t you hungry? Immedi- ately things like Whoppers, ta- cos, pizzas, and candy enter into the conversation, and be- fore you know it, you ' re stuff- ing face. Suddenly you awak- en to find that you ' ve caught the Freshman Ten. Freshman Ten is just the ten pounds you gain in your freshman year. This doesn ' t include the future blubber that may be added. Soon you find yourself mak- ing excuses like, It won ' t hurt to eat this candy bar if I take the stairs. Then there ' s al- ways, I ' ll walk it off by going to class. Don ' t fool yourself, because the only way to avoid gaining weight is to not eat in the first place. So if you find yourself in line at the candy machine or needing the aid of a coathanger in order to get your pants zipped up, take heed, because there is no easy cure for the Freshman Ten. by Vanessa McKinney 22 FOOD
