Second Look Underll Nothing completes a tough day of classes, work and study'- ing quite like an ice cold beer, particularly if it's consumed in the presence of friends at one of Tulsa's college pubs, But what about the students who are, shall we say illegal imbibers? Where do they go, or rather, what do they do to get their piece of the action? This year, in an exclusive, word'of- mouth survey the Kendalla- brum staff found the answers to these question. But first . , , The copy you are about to read is true. These are actual quotations from real students, but in most cases the names of been withheld in order to pro- tect . . . the guilty. Mystery minor number one: I have an older friend buy my first drink. Afterwards, when I've finished it, I go to the bar and ask for a refill. Bartenders never refuse me when I have an empty glass. Mystery minor number two: Since my freshman year I've been drinking Bo Segers' beer. I follow him - at the Tap Room, at-I.R.'s, at the Sig house, wher- ever -- and when he puts down his drink, I take it. I don't think he has ever noticed. Mystery minor number three: I go up to the bar and say, I'd like a beet, Coors Light. I havent been carded since I was 15 years old. I guess I just look like a degenerate alcoholic.

Because it's fun. because I don 't want to study, and because the Tap Room is open. Paul Portra y I Alcohol

Dorm Sweet Dorm or should I say residence hall? When students enroll at TU, one of the decisions they must make is whether to live on or off campus, Freshmen must live in campus housing unless their par- ents live within a 20 mile radius of the university, but many Tulsa na- tives also decide to live on campus. Questions arise as students wonder about the benefits of living on campus. The first thing to con- sider is that the dorms are more than just a place to live near classes, they are PART of TU. Living in the halls provides an opportunity for both a sense of community, and a sense of many different cultures learning and liv- ing together, says john Mabee Hall resident Ken Busby. And it's also a place where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the world. All the halls offer services to their residents at little or no charge. Each hall has vending machines and a microwave oven for burning popcorn or resurrecting left-over pizza. Some have magazines, corn- puter disks and game equipment that can be checked out. There also are washing machines that save trips to the laundromat every week - or whenever a student runs out of EVERY pair of clean socks he owns. Then there are the FUN things that happen. Each hall sponsors events during the year that can be enjoyed by all students. To cele- brate Halloweenulohn Mabee Hall hosted a party in conjunction with the Resident Housing Association, an organization which strives to help make students feel at home away from home. All of the people who helped to set up and pull this off did a great job, commented Dee Reaves RHA president. I spent II hours working with Theo CHronasD on the johns haunted house and it was worth every min- utef' I got lucky on Friday the 13th, was the theme of Lottie jane Ma- bee's annual Screw Your Room- mate dance Nov. 13 at the Shera- ton Skyline. The Southern Comfort of Twin South was evident as they hosted programs and events that helped to lessen the pressure ofthe exam schedule, as did Sigmund's presence at the Honors House. Movie Night on Sundays at LaFor- tune Hall let the student athletes unwind. There really is no way to relate all the activities that go on in resi- dence halls at TU. All I can say is: If you havent lived in the halls, you're missing out. It's an exper- ience for a lifetime of fun! Mike Hogan Campus Living
