As a key is turned in the lode for
the first time, a student thinks
about a dormitory room becoming
"his" place.
rne door ts opened. He scans
what seems to be a rather small
area. Questions arise. Where do I
put all my stuff? How can I make
this room look interesting? He
wants "his" place to truly reflect
his personality.
Making a dorm room unique and
comfortable was a task Mike
Shorttof 512 Snowden welcomed. A

and public relations, Shortt used
his interest in art when designing
his room.
Shortt and roommate, Steve
Jason, a freshman business major,
spent a total of about 24 hours
painting, laying carpet and making
general improvements. Shortt
estimates $150 was spent on the
curtains, paint and carpet.
The two painted their room
beige. On one wall, Shortt spent
approximately six hours painting
the symbol of Carolina ? the
gamecock.
Brown crushed velvet curtains
cover the sliding doors and brown
shag carpet were added. Art works r
by Shortt and mounted
photographs taken by Jason are on
the wall.
Flashing lights were placed in

stereo and television set common
to most dorm rooms. A small
antique bar was added. Rust brown
bedspreads and brown backrests
are the finishing touches to the
room's decor.

Smith said that if the room was
painted only in beige, it would not
go against USC's painting policy.
Students may use USC's choice of
pastel colors when painting rooms,
Smith said.
Before summer session, Shortt
and Jason must pay to have their
room re-painted or paint it
themselves, according to Towers

Neither Shortt nor Jason will
return to 512 Snowden after spring
session. They did not secure the
room for the fall.
Shortt said he will move to the
ZBT fraternity house. One reason,
he said, was so his room could be

"They did a beautiful job,"
Smith said, "but we just don't
know if the next residents will like
it."
