ibling roommates enjoy advantages
By JULIE ORASWELL
Features Editor
College years offer you a
time to get away from
home and to be free from
those brothers and sisters that
youVe fought with all during
high school. However, some
UNC undergraduates haven't
left their siblings behind; they're
rooming with a sister or brother
in a dormitory.
Athena and Eleni Zourzoukis
have roomed together in Cobb
Residency. Hall for two years.
The sisters, who are a little more
than a year apart in age, share
clothes, food and just about
everything else that is in the
room.
"Rooming with Athena my
first year at college made it a lot
easier. I didn't have roommate
problems like others might have
had," said Eleni, who is a sopho
more pharmacy major.
The two sisters also enjoy
many of the same activities.
They walk together, eat many of
the same foods and attend the
same Greek Bible study. They
trade off the phone bill expenses
every month and share a car.
One handles the dirty dishes if
the other has a busy week, and
each likes to keep the room rela
tively neat.
lf I had another roommate, it
would be difficult to tell them to
turn off the television or go
somewhere else to study," Eleni
said. Tm comfortable doing
that with Athena and she is,
too."
Athena, who lived in a quad
in Cobb before she and her sister
roomed together, said she does
not think she missed out on part
of the college experience by not
rooming with assigned room
mates. She got along with all of
her former roommates, but it
was more convenient and sensi
ble to room with her sister.
"Even though we have some
of the same friends, I still meet
new people," Athena said. "We
have different majors and differ
ent friends." Athena is a junior
business major.

sophomore and junior years.
This year, Bob lives in the

CIEE helps provide employment for
students in select fields such as hotel,
restaurant, office, agricultural and
resort work. Students who pay the
CIEE fee of $82 receive a work
permit for six months, advice and
listings to aid students in job and
housing hunts.
For students who seek quick,
short-term work that is not exactly
executive caliber, the CIEE plan may
help ease the continental transition
and ease them into jobs. CIEE led
UNC students Andrea Szot and
Anne Turner toward British "temp
agencies" that locate temporary jobs,
mainly in office work. Turner and
Szot soon parlayed their word
processing abilities into a manage
ment consultancy position and a
newspaper job, despite having no
pre-arranged contacts before setting

sisters who live in Kenan Resi
dence Hall, have never been
separated from each other for
very long. They shared the same
room at home, played tennis and
ran track together in high
school. They thought about just
living in the same dormitory, but
they later decided to live in the
out from the States.
Other UNC students have been
able to find employment on their
own without going through the usual
channels. Though student work
permits are often required, they are
only good for six months and are
unextendable. Therefore, students
who wish to work a bit loriger may
seek jobs outside the normal city
spheres where permits are usually
not demanded.
Bill Bradford, a first-year medical
student, was able to combine study
in London and work on a Scottish
farm. Bradford used his time in the
city to locate a job that would take
him to the more removed sections
- of Great Britain.
Bradford, who calls himself a
devoted world traveler, has also
studied and worked in Japan, Nor
way, India and Alaska and will head
to Pakistan this summer. He said his
work endeared him to one British
custom. "The British work ethic, or
lack thereof, creates a healthy overall

"Then oui parents only had to
buy one refrigerator, one carpet,
and they could visit us at the
same time," Kelly said. "Other
advantages were that we have
the same habits, like study hours
and when we go to sleep at
night."
Both Cravens are business
majors and will start the core
business courses next semester.
The sisters are taking opposite
sets of classes so that they can
find out about courses and
teachers and tell each other
about them. Another reason for
different courses is to eliminate
competition between the two.
Kim doesn't think that she has
missed out on the college expe
rience by rooming with her sis
ter. "1 don't wish I'd done it any
differently," she said. "If you can
be close enough to a sibling, you
should room with them. The
good outweighs the bad."
Freshmen Ronnie and Jeanie
Gontram, also twin sisters, live
in Cobb Residence Hall. After
both were accepted at UNC, the
Gontrams decided rooming
together would be more conve
nient. They share the room with
a third roommate, a girl they
met at Mars Hill a year before
they came to UNC.
Ronnie said the third room
mate helps keep the peace.
"When Jeanie and I fight, Tara
is there to tell us to cool it and
make up,' she said.
Ronnie said that although she
and her sister have totally differ
ent personalities, they still
remain close. Because they
moved a lot while they were in
school, the sisters shared activi
ties such as the Brownies, gym
nastics and summer jobs. They
still do things together, but with
other people as well. "We like to
have our other friends and to go
out with different people," Ron
nie said.
The Gontrams are not major
ing in the same field. "I made
my choice for journalism in high
school" Ronnie said. "! sort of

environment. The working day
essentially ends at noon when you
head for the pub."
Britain's relatively small size and
its oft-touted public transport system
make in-country exploration
another easy weekend option.
Whether you wish to check out
Wordsworth's home in the Lake
district or look out for Nessie, the
most famous of Loch Ness' attrac
tions, you can take the night train
after work Friday and be back at
work bright and early Monday
morning.
Students interested in summer
jobs in England shouldn't worry that
their chances to avoid the summer
time blues in Hometown, USA have
already passed. It takes about two
or three weeks to get a work permit
and applications are accepted year
round, according to travel agents.
The Office of International Study,
located in the basement of Caldwell,
has brochures, books and CIEE
applications.
