TwoCents

By Laura Casamento sports editor

ple have experienced the opposite trend: they can spend every living, breathing minute with their roommate, never fighting or arguing and making the room into your own little "happy haven."

However, most people cannot live with a person, hang out with them and refrain from ripping off their head. Instead, you should broaden your social circle a little. Having other people around makes it a lot easier to spend quality time with your roommate.

Three people plus one 4X7 room plus no air conditioning equals trouble. Enough said.

Always shower when no one else is in the bathroom. Certain times, such as 5 a.m., ensure that no one will be able to steal your personal supply of hot water by using the shower next to you or flushing the toilet. And while I am on the subject of showering: Never expect to get a good quality shave in a two-squarefoot shower. This applies to us girls, of course.

If you do something stupid on Thursday night, you will hear about it at least 20 times by 9 a.m. Friday. Always take this into consideration before leaving your dorm room, let alone going out to get drunk and pick up assorted members of the opposite sex.

Do not even think about slacking off. Three nights in a row spent typing research papers until 4 a.m. should clear you of this habit real quick. No matter how high your roommate turns the volume up on her stereo, remember that yours can always go higher. This way, you can ensure that not only will you get to always enjoy the music you like, but so will everyone else on your floor and in your building.

There is no bedtime. That is why God invented baseball caps and sweatpants to be worn to your 8: I 5 a.m. class the next day. Anything is funny at 3 a.m. Remember this the next time you find yourself laughing at your next-door neighbor's pajamas. Visiting rules are easy to get around. I will not say exactly how to do this, but it's easy enough to figure out.

Always know when your laundry will be done. Then make sure you are there when the washer stops. If you are five-tenths of a second late getting it out, you will undeniably find your sopping wet laundry strewn on the floor, on top of washers, in sinks, or, possibly out the window.

And finally: Rarnen noodles are God's gift to college students. Microwave 'em, use 'em as bookmarks, or engage in Ramen wars. They are still only 10 cents a bag.

Does Cabrinihave your interestsin mindwhile they renovateSacred HeartHall duringfinals?

Dana Seberio, a junior: No, why don't they wait 'til finals are over. I am a commuter and I do not even know where my finals are going to be. Being a senior next year I know they have never taken our interest in mind. They only care about the money.

Hope Manley, a junior: Yes, but they should wait one more week until finals are over, even though renovations are important for next year. Students still have papers to do.

Kevin Fosbenner, a first-year student: Yes, I have just lost my license and the week that they cut back will save me a lot of time.

Dennis Finocchiaro, a junior: I have class in the smart classroom and it doesn't work all the time, so I have to say no.

Tam Tram, a sophomore: No, because the way the classes are run, they double up the amount of work during finals week. I hope they get more and better computers next semester.

Dr. Leonard Norman Primiano, professor of religion: Yes, they do because the administration is afraid that Sacred Heart Hall renovations won't be ready when the school year begins in Sept. of '97.
