Not dorms
In response to lay Johnson's
Ma\ 22 letter. 1 would like to
propose that the most popular
living accommodations on
campus he referred to as clor
mitories.'' not dorms
A dorm" is often stereo
typed .is a large facility lor the
imprisonment of new. imma
tore, unsophisticated students
who spend most of their time
sleeping, eating pizza, plaving
pranks and destroying them
selves as well as their sur
roundings
A "dormitory." however, is
a spec ions environment lor stu
dents to come together in a
warm, bonding, familv-type or
ganization that promotes more
intense, high-powered stuck
mg c onditions
While we are on the' subject
whv shorten birth names when
that only connotates vouth and
immaturity? Why have slang
when it involves such chnppv.
lineduc ated sounding terms
that are not at all proper in
ll e/i.s/er'.s? We could go on
pondering forever um
what v\ as viiur name again ’
