preparing for class, and studying after school that it was rumored to be before
we arrived. Visions of half-asleep students, desperately trying to make it to
class before it begins, are more like the reality.
After the shock of living in chemistry classrooms wore off, the thrill of all
night studying for finals set in. It was crazy living in classrooms, but camping
in study rooms provided a welcome change.
Night Owl discussion groups/racko fanatics are fixtures in what became our
everyday lives. The 6 and 7a study rooms, the 8b pool table, the 8a Heavy
Metal desk, the 6b poster wall, and 7b phones were stops on our guided tour
around the dorms. In the 6a study room, Dave Kung and John Ferrell sang
duets to "White Rabbit," and practiced their Bananarama dancing. Elsewhere
in 6a, Steve Blunt played with his wind-up toy collection. In 6b, the sleeping
Doug Lundquist moved, yet again. In 8b, the pool table lies dormant, while the
guitar virtuoso, Steve Collins, thrashed away at his latest copy of "Guitar"
magazine. Over in 8a, Matt Hausken's bass is going yet again while David
Case narrates the "state fair." Strains of Metallica were heard in the
background. In 7b, Kerry Washburn and Jeff Truitt camped in the study room.
In 7a, The study room was alive with the sounds of music. The posters on the
wall rattled, and the Motley Criie banner swung. In the commons a water fight
raged and strains of Iron Maiden are coming from the T.V. In the Academic
commons, everyone else studied.
