y students have many
bn campus to choose
they’re looking for a
)t to curl up and nod off
, classes.
lollege is home to many
hie areas for a quick nap,
y are easy to miss. Still
others are obvious, but just aren’t
worthy of a good nap. Below is a
list of the best places to doze off,
in order from good to excellent.
Randall Hall: This cove of
couches is located up the staircase
that is to your left as you come in
the doors nearest Barlow hall.
McLoughlin Hall: The entire
2nd floor of McLoughlin is lit
tered with couches. What’s nice
about McLoughlin is that there
are some couches that are pushed
back into a dark comer or alcove,
creating a quieter atmosphere.
Upper level Barlow Hall:
On the second floor of Barlow
hall, there is a stretch of hallway
that contains a few old couches
that starts near the student
lounge area. These couches
aren’t particularly special; how
ever their proximity to the vend
ing machines makes this spot
comfortable.
Rook Hall: In the Literary
Arts Center, there are a couple
different ways for one to take a
nap. The first is to lay on the
benches, but you have to be of a
certain width, or else you may fall
off. So if you’re fat but you try it
anyway, I take no responsibility
for the results of your obvious
lack of nap time competence.
However, there is a second
choice for our more portly read
ers. If you take about seven
chairs, and then line them all up,
you can create a comfortable
surface to lay on (this isn’t rec
ommended if there is a class in
the LAC). Another option is to
take a nap on one of the bench
es built into the wall in the
upstairs hallway.
Under the Trees (seasonal):
Not to be confused with trees
behind the Community Center
(which smell like smokers), this
is a tough one to describe but an
easy one to find if you’re pay
ing attention.
Also, if you plan on napping
here this time of year, it is best
that you do it in layers, seeing
as you will be napping at the
mercy of Oregon weather.
There are three nice benches
located under some trees in
front of the Pauling Center..
Community Center: As you
walk into this building, head
toward the center until you are
able to look to your left or right
and see the fireside lounge. There
are two couches right in front of
it. This spot is good for those of
you who like being near the cafe
teria, and it is also good for those
of you that prefer wide open
spaces for their naps.
Lower level Barlow Hall:
The best public location to sleep,
this spot is located by the auto
garages in Barlow. If you are
coming in Barlow from an on-
campus entrancb, the best way to
find these couches is to head
toward title bathrooms in the cen
ter of the building, and then go
down the stairs, and you will see
the couches to your right.
The Print Lab: By far the best
couch to take a nap on is located in
the Newspaper Lab. I’d tell you
how to get there, but you need a
password to get in, so why bother?

Special Services, Casey Sims. “The
only classes that don’t qualify that
people get confused about [would
be a class like] ESL, which isn’t a
college class, but is at the college,”
Sims went on to say.
Before a student can get a
tutor, they need to talk to their
teacher first.
If the teacher
decides that he or she cannot help
the struggling student, then the
teacher will recommend a tutor.
“Come to our office here at
CC142, and ask about [a tutor].
We’ll give you a white card [which
is] called ‘request for tutorial assis
tance.’ You fill it out, you have
your instructor sign it, and bring it
back to us.”
The Tutorial Services Center
also shares an office with the
Disability Resource Center. Last
year, there wasn’t a Tutorial
Services office; Tutorial Services
was a part of the Disability
Resource Center. Sims thought
this was inappropriate, since
many people have trouble with
one or two subjects, not just per
sons with disabilities.
The department tries to get
tutors for students age-according-
ly. However, Sims made it clear
that while they want students to
get along with their tutors, they
are not inclined to cater to stu
