In my previous col
umns, I have dealt with
subjects that affect the
lives of students who live
in apartments off cam
pus. There' is one person
though, who affects the
off campus student (and
maybe even the dorm
student) more than
anyone else, a room
mate. Unless your room
mate was a friend from
back home, this total
stranger was a source of
fear before school even
started. Is she a priss? Is
he a fag? Does he like to
crank THE DOORS at 1
a.m.? Will she be con
demned by the board of
health.
After you meet your
new roommate and go
through the "where are
you from?" "what is
your major?" questions,
you are either sure that
you are going to get
along great for the rest of
the year, or that you
would rather room with
your mother. For some
unknown reason, the
"best of friends" room
mates seem to be at each
other's throats by the
start of second term,
This year I have had,
the pleasure of ' living
with eight guys who have
made my first year here
at Hazleton one of the
best years of my life.
Many of the people on
campus know them
because of the hundreds
of parties at our house.
Others have known them
through classes, and still
others have suffered
defeat from their
"nothing short of
awesome," softball
team. I have known them
from a different view-

games in two feet of
snow, the countless
hours of Mexican, and
the coal mountain. One
of the best things about
my roommates is that
they can make the
simplest of things look so
funny. If you are ever in
need of a good laugh,
come over and watch my
roommates try to cook
Hamburger Helper or
argue about who ate all
the Captain Crunch.
I cannot say that any of
my roommates are the
stereotypical "ideal
roommate," but between
all eight of them they
contain all the
characteristics that a
person looks for in a
roommate.
In Dave I find kind
ness. He is the type of
person whose goal was to
meet at least one new
person each day by walk
ing up to him in the com
mons or library and say
ing, "Hi, my name is
Dave," and treating that
person like he was a
long-time friend.
In Denny, I find sen
sitivity. He is always
aware of the needs and'
feelings of others. I can
not think of a person who
has never hurt another's
feelings with the excep
tion of Denny.
In Jim I find ambition.
Jim has set a goal for
himself to become a doc
tor and he has shown
dedication to his studies
all through the year.
Thank God he threw that
dedication to the wind;
almost every weekend.
Junior (a.k.a. Grant,
Ant, Grunt, J.R.) is pro
bably the most difficult
to categorize. Ile pro
bably takes the most
abuse in the house, but
he is also one of the most

loved. Junior's rare gift
of humor is a product of
being able to always
laugh at himself and
never trying to create a
false impression of what
kind of person he is. Hav
ing a warped mind
doesn't hurt either.
I am going to group
Lee and Phil together
because it is rare to find
them separated. There
are times that the two of
them act as if they are
twin sons of different
