"It's different from a pharmacy

Kleger said. "If they are involved
in the interpretation of the test,
they need to be licensed. If they
hand somebody a test and say,
'Determine yourself if you're preg

that."

But a smiling Roberts and Steinmeier
recalled how their attitudes changed when they
arrived at the University.
"I loved it then," Steinmeier said, making a
sweeping motion with his arms to indicate the
spaciousness of the converted lounge. Living
with more than one student is also an advantage
during the orientation period, he said, because

Many students expressed con
cerns about balancing social activi
ties with academic responsibilities.
"I'm concerned about keeping up
with my work in general," Carey
Linaugh (freshman-computer sci
ence) said.
Although Megan Mahon (fresh
man-visual arts) also was con
cerned about course work, she said
with the proper time management
skills, she feels she could succeed.
"I want to spend time studying,"
Mahon said, "But I also want to
have fun and enjoy it."
Many students said they are
looking forward to their new-found
independence, but still want to
please their parents.

"My parents will be upset if I
don't do well," Andy Daniel (fresh
man-engineering) said. "But I'm
organized and I know when to
study and when not to."
Resident Assistant Wendy Hess
(senior-management science and
information systems) said time
management is the key to success.
"If you can learn to balance your
time, you can be sociable and get
good grades," Hess said.
Hess said getting involved is also
crucial.
"Try to join something, whether
it's on the (dorm) floor, through
(Undergraduate Student Govern
ment) or any of the clubs around
campus," Hess said. "That's how
you will meet people."

which never caused a problem with
fires.
"I was irate," Bell said, adding
that the lamps are safe, especially
with the new plastic safety feature
that protects the bulb from lint and
dust. ,
Harpster is not convinced the
safety feature for the lamps is
enough.
"The safety feature won't stop
the bulb from burning as hot as it
does," she said. "Something could
still spark a fire."
Bell said he doesn't have one of
the lids yet but he plans to get one.
He plans to use his lamp despite
the policy, he said.
"I'd tell them where they could
stick that halogen lamp," Bell said.
Harpster said lamps are not per
mitted at the University at this
point, with or without the safety
feature.
Kelley Margolis (sophomore-his
tory) said she had a halogen lamp
in her dorm last year, and it did
cause problems for her.
"Suddenly I walked in and it was
like 'Oh my God!' because a poster
was on fire," Margolis said. She
said she also had some clothes and
papers catch fire.

"By the third time we were just
like 'Oh, another fire'," Margolis
said.
The fires were small and she and
her roommate put them out quick
ly, she said, and the fire alarm
never went off.
Margolis said she kept the lamp
despite the problems because of
the insufficient lighting in the
dorm rooms
"Finally at the end of the year I
put (the lamp) in the hallway and
saw somebody dragging it away,"
Margolis said. She added she was
glad to get rid of the lamp.
Unlike Margolis, Stacy Ernst
(junior-psychology) said she never
knew anyone who has had prob
lems with the lamps.
"Any lamp has a possibility of
starting a fire," Ernst said. If she
would get caught with the lamp in
her room, she said, she would put it
away temporarily and then use it
again.
Kim Rzomp (sophomore-bio
chemical molecular biology) said
she planned on getting a halogen
lamp but saw a sign in Wal-Mart
explaining that the lamps were
banned on campus.
Rzomp bought a desk lamp
instead.
