nism ra AMS nih this time because I only washed SECTION B— PAGE 6 Off The Cull Stuff BY BRUCE HOPKINS How I Met My Ironing Lady It was a difficult decision, but I decided to say goodbye to Mary for- ever. I could no longer rely on her. I had to learn to be independent. Besides Mary was too expensive. And she’ld only iron five shirts a week. Anything more, and she'll over- charge. Yes, I had to learn to do my own laundry. I was going to cast Mary MacIntosh Laundry Service cut of my life forever. This was easy to say. And my first week here, I had no trouble at all doing my laundry—I took it home with me. The second weekend was a bit more difficult. I had to go to the laundramat. Fortunately, my room- mate had had experience at that sort of ‘thing. He kind of helped me along, He stopped me from put- ting the bleach in with the colored things, and reminded me to nemove the kleenex from my pants pocket, and so on. He instructed me in operating the unusual washing! mechanism, and introduced me to the lady (we think) who manages the laundramat. Ironing was easy underwear, and perma-press items. I | did wash some socks, but I figured I, could wear them wrinkled. I had o trouble at all. Last week was a different story. Larry was working Saturday morn- ing so I had to wash the clothes my- | self. But I was confident in ny abilities. All T had to do was think everything out. I did quite well actually. T was extremely proud of myself. I washed them, dried them, and carried them ficulty at all. All I had to do now | wag iron my shirts and pants. I [had 5 shirts, and 1 pants. I decided [IT would do them later that night. TI hadn't gotten over the shock of | washing them yet. | Night fell. I gathered my ironing | together. Now, the ironing room in ' South Hall was not as yet finished ' which meant I would have to travel ito North Hall. Now, in order to iron in North Hall, one must either | bring one’s own iron, or sign out | with the proctor to use the dorm iron. As I did not have my very own iron, I had planned on ysing {the dorm iron. But the Fates were not with me. There was no proctor on, duty. “No proctor?” I said to myself. “No proctor?! Well, isn’t that en- ough to steam your iron!” However, all was not lost. know- ing full well that my friend and neighbor Ed McNertney had an iron, I immediately returned my- self to South Hall to call upon Mr. Mc-Nertney, who I knew would, being a kind-hearted and generous soul, would permit me to horrow his ironing mechanism. Ed was out. His room was locked. “Well, Hop,” I said to myself: using my more personal nickname, “looks like we do our ironing to- morrow.” Although the Fates seemed to have turned against me, T was mere- ly witnessing the darkness before the dawn. Hope was just beyond the horizon. Hope shown through at dinner on Sunday.
