195 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 o 0 2l 2 Mr. and Mrs. Ray P.

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.
