Ffomeflagl-' Home Quest for familiarity keeps students busy The door creaked open, dust, and cob-webs filled the darkened room. The cold floor creaked under the new student's feet. In wonderment the student sat down, only to sink to the floor as the old, musty mattress shifted under his weight. The student wondered at the strange, awful smell in the room. Then it was time to look over and see the new roommate. Ahhh, it was only a dream. Still the future student had broken out in a cold sweat. Every fu- ture student had at one time a nightmare or two, about their room and roommate. Once they had arrived here and had as- sured themselves that the room was nothing like their dreams, and their roommate wasn't an identical twin of Alf the alien, things looked bet- ter. The next thing stu- dents did was to make their new home more like home. Home wasn't just an atmosphere, it was a comfortable feeling with the place and the people around them. When making Tulsa University a new home, the students tried to bring every comfort of home with them. Ever- ything was moved in from plants to posters, stuffed animals, stereos and T V s. Almost every- thing but the kitchen sink came along. Some students said that articles from home were the key to feeling more comfort- able at a new place. Oth- ers said that care pack- ages from mothers who love to cook, were the best way to feel more at home. A good chocolate chip cookie usually did just as much to cheer someone up as any article from home. Davie Cooper's cuddly friend Reading the newspaper is a is pun'-fectly content.

Student Life Many agreed that pic- tures of friends, family and boyfriends and girl- friends back home, helped students feel clos- er to home. And what better way to have felt good while at school but calling those friends and family. A large phone bill was worth keeping in touch with good friends. It was also a good connec- tion to money from mom and dad, and that really made a student feel good. Feeling at home wasn't just fitting a new situa- tion into an old one. It was about making new friends and developing a new home here at Tulsa University. The posters, pictures and mail from home helped, but mostly it was up to the student - with a little help from friends. Kelly Hunter ,,,A ,V 4, fit.- urifsayagm 1.
