8 THE MICHIGAN DAILY
Rooms Show Co-ed's Personality
Through .Decorations, Furnishings
By ANN EICHLER
Running , . ,rushing . in
... out ... all day long.
The dormitory room, a place
for sleeping and .haging clothes1
is now taking on new importance
to University students.It now not
only provides these essentials, buti
also a place in which to study and
relax during rare spare moments.
When you first entered the res-
idence hall room this fall, you
most likely faced a bare room with
only a small window and furni-
ture, placed in very strange ar-
rangements.
There is a way to change this
impersonal room into a friendly
"second home."
As a starter, many students re-
arrange the furniture to their lik-
ing; or not to their liking, but to
facilitate the opening 'of dresser
drawers and closet doors. Some
add extra lamps and chairs for
comfort during the hours the
room is occupied.
With roommates or someone to
aid the decisions, bedspreads and
curtains are purchased. These
should reflect the personal taste
of the roomer. Small throw rugs
make soft padding' for bare feet
and the cold, hard floors. They
are relatively easy to keep clean

and add a bright spot to the liv-w
ing-studying quarters.
Women's dormitory rooms are
quickly filled with pillows, stuffed
dolls and fuzzy animals decorat-
ing the beds. Walls need not by
any means be bare. The little con-
temporary cards, signs and pic-
tures will do well on the walls or
door. They come in a variety of
sizes and colors with different
messages ready for any occasion.
Display Favors
Colored fishnets or burlap
makes an unusual background
for the display of party favors,
clippings, sports equipmentvand
what-have-you. A bright blanket
or decorated bulletin board will
also give your room its own true
"collegiate" look.
Pushpins, the University's an-
swer to thumbtacks, will support
a thin wire across a corner or side
of your room, from which pen-
nants and small momentoes can
be suspended.,
ThedStudent Loan Art Gallery,
located in the basement of- the
Student Activities Building, rents
many types of pictures at a small
charge per semester. Posters may
also be purchased at local, book-
stores.
Pets
In any type of room goldfish or
turtles make wonderful compan-
ions. They are sure to be the focal
point of any visit from friends.
Plants, too, add a touch of life
and interest to the dormitory
room.
Personality, substituted for the
emptiness found at the beginning
of the semester, invites one, or
two or three to take advantage of
these quarters 'for bull sessiohs,
contemplation or cramming.
You and other University stu-
dents always feel welcomed by a
decorated room.
You who are running-... rush-
ing . . . in . . . out . . . all day
long.
