The Plaza : place to tall~ to the most people possible in the least amount of time between classes. Hilton on the Hill : Viginia W . Kettering Hall for Sophomores. Housing Lottery: ice cream and legalized gambling to determine each student's future residence. Vater : a shortened v ersion of elevator.

s a freshman, living in Marycrest wasn't that bad, even though I did live on the seventh floor. Every girl is stuck in Marycrest their Freshman year, no one has a choice and that makes it bearable. I had the same problems as eve ryone else: fights with roommate s, visiting hours, broken elevators, roaches, dirty bathrooms and cafeteria food. It was enough to moti· vate me to get out of the dorm. So in March my friends and I entered the Virginia W. Kettering lottery. It was our only hope since some of us weren't allowed to live in a house yet. The day of the lottery finally arrived. Our group walked to the Kennedy Union Ballroom and eage rly waited for our lottery number to be called. We waited . And waited. And waited . That was it. The lottery was over. And we
were stuck in Marycrest for our Sophomore year. So here I sit in my Marycrest room . As I look around, it really isn 't as bad as I thought it would be. The advantages? I'm closer to classes than I would be at Kettering. I got to choose my room. I have my own sink, and my choice of roommate. All the girls on my floor are also stuck here because of the lottery. The disadvantages? The same as last year, only more familiar. Overall, living in Marycrest as a Sophomore turned out better than I thought. But please, pray for me so that I get into Campus South ne xt year! - Heidi Hartz []
