Life with engaged roommates is not always blissful By Sandi Haraguchi ■ The Daily Universe Brigham Young U. While engaged couples may bo bliss fully happy, their roommates often pay the price, according to some students at Brigham Young U. Senior Beck l/icev, who has lived with four engaged roommates, said his initial reactions to the engagements were pos itive. "It's really great for the first little while. Then it starts to get old because you just got another roommate, his Orange Continued from page 8 lished 25 years ago, is the tale of a young 21st century thug who is “reformed” by the state through behav ior programming. The book's concepts grew out of ideas in Huxley’s “Brave New World“ and Orwell’s “1984," giving the work a depth of nch literary tradi tion. For the novel, Burgess created N'adsat. his own language, a complex linguistic marriage of English and Russian prefixes and suffixes. The book was made into a movie by director Stanley Kubrick. In the book and movie's classic ending Alex returns to his violent ways, laughingly stating, “I was cured all right." And there, for a quarter century, the story ended. The problem is that the 21st chapter is a denouement, and it changes the book's entire meaning. My New York publisher believed that my 21st chapter was a sellout," Burgess writes in a new introduction to the text “It was veddy, veddy, British, don’t you know It was bland and it showed a Pelagian unwillingness to accept that a human being could be a model of unregenerable evil In the “missing" 21st chapter, the de programmed Alex simply grows bored with violence. He sees it as the pastime of the young and comes to realize that he feels a need to do something produc tive with his life — to get married, have children and build, as opposed to destroy. The 21st chapter shows him envisioning this new future. “There was Your Humble Narrator Alex coming home from work to a good hot plate of dinner, and there was this ptisa all welcoming and greeting like loving. "But 1 could not viddv her all that hor rorshow, brothers, I could not think who it might be...in a cot was laying gurgling goo goo goo my son Yes yes yes brothers, mv son. And now I felt this bolshy big hollow inside my plott, feeling very sur prised too at myself. I knew what was happening, 0 my brothers. 1 was like growing up." The question, of course, is whether the chapter adds to or detracts from the con ceptual design of “A Clockwork Orange. Unfortunately, a human being can be a model of unregenerable evil. More power to Burgess for maintaining his innocent vision, but if he is to convey it in a novel there still must be character motivation and believability. Nevertheless, this re-issue is impor tant. As the publisher’s note mentions, “Whichever is true, the larger truth is that 'A Clockwork Orange’ is a modern classic which must, indeed, be made available to Anthony Burgess’s American readers precisely in the form he wishes it to be fiancee." l/OC<‘\- said “At the saint' time, you’re losing a good friend "I went through a lot of pain because I couldn't figure out at first why one of my best friends suddenly wouldn't talk with me and we lived in the same apart ment." According to .Joel .1 Moss, a Bi l' pro fessor of family sciences who teaches a preparation-for-marriage class, an engagement is “a way of telling the other roommates goodbye." “What they experience will vary from roommate to roommate What generally happens, however, is that roommates will tend to look at the formal engage ment to mean'don't intrude ’ l his is hard for a roommate who has been a close friend." The issue of privacy is also sensitive for some roommates Senior Hilda Fontanet. who has lived with five engaged women at BYlsaid she herself frequently felt intruded upon "t )ne time 1 was changing and my roommate came in the bedroom Her fiance was following and 1 had to sav ‘Excuse me. tins is my room, too Will you please let me change7’ After that 1 changed in another bedroom or the bathroom,” she said. One possible reason tor such tension, according to Moss, is that people don’t know how to act when their roommates become engaged. "The engagement Itecotnes like a wall between the roommates," lie said (Hirers simply may not like their room mate's spouse to-be 1' ontanet, for exam pie, said she and her roommates were concerned and unhappy with their room mate's choice. “I le wasn't good enough for her It hurt seeing her change and settle lor some thing less than she could have had," she said Buy a 2 pack >1 Memorex MBS'11C 90 or C 100 Audio Cassettes at your college hook store, and we ll give you a $2 rebate Here's what you do First, buy the tape IXih Then send us the following stutt ►THE UPC SYMBOL OFF THE 2 PACK BAG (No individual cas sette UPCs will he accepted) ►THE ORIGINAL DATED CASH REGISTER RECEIPT WITH DATE AND PURCHASE PRICE CIRCLED ►THIS COMPLETED FORM Send it to $2 HBSII Refund Dept 333t> Lubbock TX 79491 PLEASE PRINT ALL INI' )RMATION Enclosed arc proofs ol purchase from UBS II C-90 or C 100 2 packs (’lease send my refund ot $_.._ ilimit$4) to: NAME ADDRESS CITY STATE ZIP ADDITIONAL TERMS OF OFFER Tluscowptelird form must j«. compiny rfqucr.i and may roi tx* mo fun;- aav rrpf jdut ed tinul!otSi ttlund*perlamuy hmnrf.-*J ■*-nJdrov. .u-up<» •- tfvjni.’j on rrqums w-.Hbr honornl Hlrgood '(liy ■ Vtrira -r\ MRS*!' *• i ,0 ' ; J< * 1 uy. vjfler v<.id wrere pn^Uird by a* axnJ or rrur* :rd •'V1iv jfiovv 6 8 week •> lot ilc&vwy Her $u> xl oriy in L A n!y >n pu/ j5« rrjde: . .nrrr.fr: '! ivs * Regt-!-. rrusi he received bv unujry if> .ir*j This orter not to be used in t orjunt tu *n with any dhrr Xfrr ■ , > ‘ *■' asluner -rtvitc !: ’■ ‘ 'fd 1 "Tt LuttWCk IX "'i n This is a test: MGMOREX I Before [hey became famous, [he Beabes were a! one pom! known as I si The Quarrymen hi The Sliver Slippers I c.; Idiol Savanl, d) The Rudes 2 Which Rollins Stones aibum cover displays a pa.r ol pants with an actual ripper’ a) Some Girls", bi faile on Mam Suer: c| "Sticky Fingers: d; Between the Buttons" 1 RFM's greatest hit roJectirn released last year was titled ai "Homonymous. bi 'Eponymous' ci "Anonymous ;d, REM s Greatest Hits' 1 The following group before develop ;ng their own unique up music sound (laved p„nl r «.k music u The Harm.'rs bi tizzy fell and rhe Fresh Prince c The Bea tie Boys dl Boogie [.“own Pr> Auctions same OFFICIAL MEMOREX MUSIC TRIVIA SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY F< -KM Cofcge...... *!*!!!"\ SEND TO MEM' 'REX'* SW: EPSIAKI S r’O BOX -it- BLAIR N? w s r sum sue ftHCMOftU'SWeiPSTAKLS Off; 1AL KUUS NC F-RC.HASt NlCESAAinr HERE 5H» * *« :N*:H j< •*- -iy ban:;*.? . >m ■ rir «» »• V ■ *&r\\ i-. t r>-mOer rwrfcoffwa mvrnm -c «. rv .sled -r the emry form in onto tobern*bie to *r jl :x*jorsr - the entr. form mov :< answered w . and the «-*rv - - - «;v te ‘Jh - -vr< p» •vr addrrurd entry c*d to Memoiri Sweepslafcc* PC Bo 4h0<> *U»r si -^.w * pfeanconed-v mr - irK.ilyrrpr.Our r-mpitryr.nl M:'%-ai tx-ruary 0 '*K 'y '■ ?'-*-■ *ru <'* an ndrpr-d<-' riprap *»t--v fiTA I ar i;»\u"a »' '•*' • p*!*r' 1 A 4 '*J* ‘ “ r ru>< van* Si 50C each: tor two to London England mcJudmg roundthp «Ufr ” the gateway i_t.es11 the winner *' re t..* and one tomcr for two . renens i (Jerden Monthly wur»-tOOtie Mart* awarded ;n’w< i i randrrr drawing 'rorraiftjr* a. ergOr ntw receded f j r* krrv «■$’•*• - Srarkr^ *c~ . mate'ru +.rS4 Tf ^ -’r'* ta-f * ** SweeMUke* itn only to U S < Jie®e vudemi if a minor w*jn pur w« be awarded n the name jI his her >»ni or ^wfdu' Me /* ^u*i be * mpinrd by pa»cr: * ^cartkar. on the Emptoym J 4mer..an C ■ 'Vjt Sefwort Mciwea Product* Dl.
