Dorm life, similar to communal living, provides the student with entertainment, food, drink, culture and fun with the tel- evision and soda machine being the most popular. The long, rela- tively spotless halls with num- bered doors on each side, the laundry room and the bellhop desk all add to the motel-like envi- ronment. In addition to this, dur- ing mid-afternoon, the atmos- phere which resounds through the halls of the dorms resembles that of a summer resort during mid-winter. At these times the guests are often beckoned by the sounds of General Hospital, or some other favorite soap opera, on the television. Like hotels, dorm life has its dis- advantages; it’s just not home. You have to do your own laundry, share a bathroom, watch the tele- vision shows requested by the majority, and abide by the regula- tions, as well as participate in the work, such as acting as a dorm receptionist, alias bellhop. Although at times, these obsta- cles seem great and more trouble than they are worth, the parties, study breaks, friends, neighbors, guests and all other pleasurable characteristics of dorm life pre- vail. In the end, it is the memories of the good days that one will remember and give a toast to as some of the best times at Whea- ton. dorms 15
