Aside from the exuberant discussions about the new blonde which moved into your neighbor hood and the aqueous reception accorded a visiting serviceman by the folks back home, is the tor tuous mad scramble for rooms for the ensuing term. It all starts when the evening trains begin st reaming in from all points---you come into the barracks unshaven, undernourished, and un ambitious after those few days in Eldorado to find the harracks doesn't look quite familiar - some how the color of the walls looks different, from the rooms you had been confined to for the past umpty nine months, the sacks don't look quite as soft and fluffy as those you 50 recently neglected to utilize, the floors have a new coat of wax, and the roach powder is piled high in all corners. Then's when you begin scouting around to find new roonimales for the next four months, for Joe ship ped out for flunking a refresher course for the third time, and Bill was just pledged into the Tappa Kegs and his big brother is making i-oon for hin in his conpaitment, 'cuz it's always ice to have some one around to shine your shoes and ease the burden on field day.

Then too, it wouldn't hurt to get Jim in with you for his girl has the best look ing doggone female fviend you ever saw. So. the three of you take a lih erty together that last night of leave, only to wake up the next morning to the tune of a bellowing Specialist's voice inst ructing you not to mike any room arrange ments, for the organization tias been set up in !ho OD's office mnd .cou find that you are to be thrown in a room with that guy that sat. in the back of your chem class and "horrowed" twelve cents from you one day in the cante'n to buy himself and some babe a coke, while you went dry. Some how*. you manage to get l)on into your room too- he sevnis like a neighbor, since he live's only four states away from .ou otut the're on the West Coast. Just when you've fmishe.d flip ping a coin to soe wtho gets what dreawers and closet space, anid who will he the room capt ain the fi rst week, three behemoth sixth-ter'mers walk In to say t hat they want y'our room, and they tire stur' you will findt anot her gouod rIoom some place nearby.
