AlexToevs for the Emerald Creative dorms win out Participating students were judged in three different categories in the University Housing Better Rooms Contest Ayisha Yahya Freelance Editor Residence hall rooms do not have to be drab and impersonal. With a little creative effort, stu dents can add flair and transform their rooms into vibrant spaces, which reflect their unique tastes and character. In the fifth annual Better Rooms Contest on Friday, students living in the residence halls got to show off their interior design skills. “With a little imagination, it’s amazing what these students can r put together,” said University Housing executive assistant Janice Langis, who was one of the con test’s judges. This year’s competition drew 16 contestants, and rooms were judged in three categories: Most Creative Use of Space, Best Use of Space and Best Coordination. According to University Hous ing spokes woman Tenaya Meaux, the com petition allows people to see how students make the best use of fairly small rooms. Amber New by’s room won the Most Gre ative Use of Space award. The room quickly grabs attention with its strands of blinking colored lights and a flood of purple things. A purple floor rug and a sheer purple cloth with yellow moons and stars on the ceiling. A purple feather boa across the room. Pur ple chair, phone, bedspread, lava lamp, table clothes and wall hang ings. Then there are the giraffes. Stuffed, wooden and origami gi raffes. A giant poster of an adult giraffe planting a kiss on a baby giraffe’s head on one wall. On an other wall is a massive collage of Duck football newspa per clippings. “I’ve been told that my room re flects my personality 100 per cent,” Newby said. She describes herself as colorful, energetic, hap py and fun. And, of course, she is a dedicated football fan. Westmoreland Housing area di rector and contest judge Candace Cardiff said she felt Newby’s per sonality was “bursting at the seams” throughout the room. “I could have stood in there for an hour just looking,” Cardiff said. “Everything was placed to have an effect.” Newby said everyone who walks by the room does a “double take.” “People come in here to get away,” she said. “It doesn’t feel like a dorm room.” Carla Sertic and Jana Hardwick, in Barnhart Hall, were judged to be the most coordinated room mates. Their room transported the judges into a Morrocan-like belly dancing haven complete with beads hang ing in the door way, a plush red bedspread and belly dancing music playing in the background. Sertic and Hard wick even put on belly dancing at tire for the occasion. “I saw the harmony of these two people being able to live together and enjoying it,” Langis said. Andrew VanDyk and Max Goins, who live in the Walton Complex, scooped the Best Use of Space honors. The two freshmen built their own beds, which tower high above the floor, with desks that neatly fit under the beds. Shoes are carefully stacked on a shelf by the window, next to a couch made up of three mattresses and a high shelf holding a television. “We just wanted to be efficient and have a lot of space,” Goins said. The high beds do have disadvan tages. Goins said he has hit his head against the ceiling several times, especially when something startles him. Still, he said others like the idea, and two other students in the hall have built similar beds. “If we can do this with a dorm room, imagine what we can do with something bigger,” he said.
