/he computer clusters at the Moody Towers
and the Quadrangle, other
wise known as
Cougar Byte,
provide a safe
for those of us
who waited till
the last minute
to do a project we knew
about months in advance.
Although the main
reason for the computers
was purely academic,
many students could be
caught playing games until all hours of the
. night. This is not
2 to say that they
didn't give precedent to those residents who were
^un need of for
such things as resumes or
research, as well as those
infamous papers.
The biggest complaint that residents had
was that they were always
in need of repair. There
were times when
only a handful
out of 15 or so
computers
worked. Mario
Martinez, a Towers resident, put
it best when he
said, "It's a nice idea when
it works". The printers
have also been a topic of
some discussion, "they
take forever and the ink is
usuallv so light that you
can barely read
^^ it", Lori Gissler a

Whether it be in pajamas or
in the buff we all have to sleep. I
found a few brave souls who were
willing to share their version of
sleep apparel with me. The general
consensus seems to be that whatever is comfortable is appropriate
attire.
Attire ranged from the sexy
to the practical. Lisa Noble, a Tower
resident, enjoyed a pair of her
father's old yellow and white
striped PJ's that she rolled the legs
up on because they were bell bottomed. She thinks "their great and
so comfortable" especially when the
upper floors of the Towers turn into
iceboxes at night.
For the guys the number
one essential element seems to have
been boxers in all fabrics, sizes,
designs and colors. One second
floor resident, who refused to be
photographed, loves to sleep in his
red boxers that sport little Jersey
cows on them, they kind of clashed
with the fuzzy dog slippers he wore.
David Bizaine of Fifth floor South
wasn't shy about his tie-dyed briefs
and matching t-shirt in green and
pink swirls.
Whatever your choices the
main thing that was kept in mind
was comfort. Unless you believe as
one resident, who used the alias
"Mel", that is that the cuddle factor
has to be high and it has to be kept
soft and luxurious.Then there was
the more practical explanation of
wearing something practical to bed
. What if there was a fire? You never
know who you might meet.
Sleep fashions that were
practical and yet made a statement
were a residence hall favorite.
