Many students believe that being hundreds of miles away from home is going to be a lonely experience. With some of the tips we’ve of fered in previous articles, however, and with a little imagination, your room, apartment or house at college can be nearly as comfortable as your home. First, you should consider what comfort means to you. For some people lots of cushions thrown on a pile in front of a fireplace or in a comer accented with lights creates a very relaxing atmosphere. For others a windowsill of plants can add just the right touch for a homey room. When you have considered the things you like best you can start acquiring those items or arranging them in the most suitable manner. You needn’t spend a lot of money on creation of your new “home,” either, because some of cheapest and easiest materials to obtain can be turned into real assets for your living quarters. Consider for a moment what a pair of matching curtains, bedspread, cushions and bureau scarves would cost in a department store. With a little imagination and some tune you can make all of those things out of two or three printed bed sheets available for a few dollars.

It’s a good idea, too, to bring something familiar from home. If you’ve grown up with the same lamp beside your bed you may want to take it to college with you along with a favorite painting, a family photo album or an old throw rug. All of these items will help you feel right at home even though you may be on the opposite side of the country. Another good idea, especially if you’re living alone, is to adopt a pet. A simple goldfish or a colorful parakeet is easy to take care of and will keep you com ORCHARD & ROW CROP SPRAYERS w \ P 3 pt Hitch THESE MODELS IN STOCK: TUP * 100 Gallon Tank HO& IMU • Adaptable For Orchard or Row Crop «o£ TUP * 100 Gallon Tank HOD IMu • Adaptable For Orchard or Two Crop rio DTP * Tr ai * er Sprayer - 500 Gal.

If your resident hall director or landlord has banned pets of all kinds why not show him you are more imaginative by adopting a cactus or another member of the plant kingdom as your special “pet.” These “pets” need minimal care and love but will always be there to “help keep you company.” Remember, the keyword to making yourself feel at Myers V ! v . ¥_ f* > Included in the high ranking corn were in the 175-200 bushel per acre yields were Bruce Kreider, Richard c,ass - Drumm and Les Hershey.
