The Roommate Game Have you ever wondered why your best friend may be the hardest person in the world to live with? Have you ever wanted to go to sleep and your roommate brings her boyfriend or several friends over to listen to a new record album? Have you ever wanted to sleep in one morning and your roommate decides to set her alarm for 5 a.m.? Most likely, you have answered yes to at least one of these questions or can relate to one that was asked. Despite all the bothersome, petty things roommates do that may drive you crazy, we still live with them. They are a part of college life that will never be forgotten. Roommates are people with whom we share our lives, in spite of all the annoying habits that go hand in hand with living with another person. We go to meals with them, celebrate good times with them, share joys, sorrows and care packages with them. And, if we are lucky, we may even be able to share some of their clothes. Roommates come in all shapes and sizes, and we may not always like sharing a room with them, but we manage . . . somehow. In the long run, we learn to adapt to differing tastes and levels of neatness, learn to settle arguments and differences of opinions sensibly, and even learn to control our own irritable temperaments. Rooming with another person is a learning experience that is part of the liberal arts education we all obtain at Westminster. Barb Merkel Barb Forbes, Julie Lympany, Lynn Wollenberg and Julie Nan have learned to tolerate each other. TOP — Pat Pintirsch and Denise Ferrara get along just fine.

Happy Valley When you need a break from campus, where do you go? How about those times when you need something quick but nice for a friend ' s birthday? Or, where do you go when you feel you need to temporarily escape the hassles of col- lege life? If you answer these questions with Prima ' s, Miller ' s and New Wilmington Park, then you know your town, Happy Valley . . . New Wilmington. Though we often fail to realize it, the snug Boro of New Wilmington provides a lot of ser- vices for the Westminster College Community. Besides Prima ' s and Alice ' s, both popular spots for the pizza starved college student, the Hoagie Hut and Isaly ' s are open throughout the year to provide meals and snacks for the typical study-breaking student. For those with a taste for the .finer things in life (and the cash to pay for them) the Tavern and the Feed Mill offer a delightful change of pace for the students entertaining his or her parents for the weekend. And, of course, there ' s always time for a run out to Dutch Isle and their special cookies-n- cream ice cream. If non-edible service is what you seek up town, then perhaps Miller ' s Convenience Store, Greenwood Phar- macy, New Wilmington Food Mart or Mon ' s Buy-a-bit are the places you frequent most. The local Florist, too is a popular place, especially during formal time. For unique gift items or even something special for yourself Puff-n- Stuff provides Tobacco, teas, candies and a host of other assorted goodies. If a quiet walk through New Wilmington Park is not quite enough to clear your head of college turmoil, then there ' s always a coffeehouse at Shelter from the Storm or Neshannock Church to help you relax and enjoy yourself. The list can continue on. New Wilmington is special for those who call Westminster home for 9 months of each of their college years. The many businesses in town help make it just a little more special ... for all of us. Chris Svitek Linda Burdette New Wilmington 19
