1987 Miracle Yearbook

Z. zz Zzz z Snores, Anyone? You pay $1230.00 for a bed — usually bunked — in a scrunched room with a roommate who chews too loudly. You'd think you'd get some quality rest, right? But the night congests with papers and books and projects and exams,and by the time you hit rhe pillow — if you ever do — your brain is so caffeinated that you lie twitching — contorting the visages of your stuffed animals until the day breaks.So you compensate. You sleep in subtle ways. Like 8:00 classes, wedged on a hymnal in Chapel, Physical Science, R.A. prayer meet- ings, sprawled on a News brief or lunch, 3:00 classes, or on rhe way home from a late pass with a Melancholic. The CClounge is a likely spot with couches that are rather scratchy (but it's a long way back to the dorm). If you have time for a nap, your roommate will probably type a paper. If you go to bed early, rhe phone will ring or least3rimes. The library can be peaceful unless you get near a social butterfly who whispers as loudly as your roommate chews. But then your roommate claims you haven't changed your sheets for9weeks. And you say rhe only crud on those sheers is rhe stuffing from a mutilated teddy bear. And that's the only thing resting in peace on a $1230.00 bed. Ruth Morgraff 52
