6 Really don’t straighten, don’t dust, You’D just scare your family Parents Weekend (as it used to be known) is upon us, so there is little time to convert your college reality into the pipedream vision of college life that your parents hold.

The most important preparation will take place in your dorm room. Of course, if you live in Hinton James, skip this step. Your parents are prob ably not crazy enough to risk their lives among all the bats and asbestos. For everyone else, this is a necessary step. Even though on the ideal visit your parents will only spend moments in your room before wisking you away to an all-expense-paid dinner, they have special visual powers that can detect even themost microscopic speck of dust. So clean the place up. Al though I understand what a pain do ing the laundry is, you might want to pick up your clothes, so the carpet is actually visible. Especially if your par ents are the ones who paid for it.

Somewhere in the back of your closet should be all of those neat little high school gradua tion gifts you got, but never used. Things like that alarm clock or typewriter you’ll want to have them prominently displayed thoughoutyour room. See, one important rule to re member with parents is that the more they see you using gifts that they bought, the more inclined they’ll be to spend more and more. If you’re feel ing guilty about trying to sponge off yourparents, forget it! We as children are burdened with the obligation to allow our parents to pamper us be cause it is their only joy in life. Really. Next on the list, is your room de cor. Although your buddies may be impressed by your vast collection of malt liquor bottles and your leaning tower of pizza boxes, these are usually interpreted as signs of too much disposible income by visiting parents. Another good idea would be to also ditch the posters of bronzed, semi clad models in favor of kitty cats or sports figures. This will aid your mother in maitaining her image of you as a 13 year old who still thinks members ofthe opposite sex are yucky. Although you may have been trying to shed this rep since puberty, it is crucial for your parents to believe in your innocence enough to trust you in this pit of temptation we call home. This is extremely important for those of you who live in co-ed dorms. Along with a reconstruction job on your room that will make the work done on Old East pale in comparison, your lifestyle will also need a com plete overhaul as well. This weekend is probably not the best time for you and your significant other to try-out the new 24-hour opposite-sex visita tion policy. It would also be wise to make sure that your hallmates do not address you by any nicknames you may have earned because ofyour abil ity to consume mass quantaties of alcohol. It is extremely difficult to convince Pops that you’re called Spewmeister because of your dedica tion to your studies. Oh yeah, now is probably a good time to buy your text books. I recom mend used books. Not only are they economical, you don’t have to waste time bending their bindings or dog earing the pages. When choosing books, it is more important to choose big, impressive-sounding texts as op posed to books you’ll actually need for your classes.
