Returning to your room, you find your fellow section mates scurrying about putting last minute decorations into place for the evenings ' s Screw Your Roommate. After sampling some section drinks, you and your date don ' t mind serving your shift behind the bar. The hours of dancing fly by and, before you know it, the witching hour has arrived and you find yourself saying goodnight to your date under the watchful eye of the security guard. Walking back to your room, you hear the familiar sound of your fellow dormmates exchanging the happenings of the day. Before dropping off to sleep, you realize that for four years, dorm life has forced you to learn to live within a group in good times and in bad, and yet to grow as an individual. Without doubt, this building -- this Hall of Fame has really been your home. -Jane Bennett -Kathleen Coughlin -Joanne Richardson BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
