Microwaves make living on-campus enjoyable
Jennifer Cowman
The Pendulum
If you live on campus, you
might have noticed a new addition
to the lounges. Microwaves.
Microwaves have been added
to each of the lounges in Hook,
Smith, Carolina, Virginia/West,
Sloan, Jordan Center, Harper
Center, and Chandler.
Steps to install the
microwaves in the lounges started
last spring. Lee Proctor, director
of housing, and the Residence Hall
Association decided that putting
microwaves in the lounges would
help the students feel more at
home and make living on campus
more enjoyable. They were also
fulfilling a request by President
Fred Young, and many parents,
who questioned why they weren't
"Putting micro
waves in the
lounges would
help the students
Teel more at
home”
already part of the lounges.
Questions were brought to
Proctor about why microwaves
couldn't be put in each dorm
room. Proctor said due to all the
electrical appliances in the rooms
(i.e., stereos, TV's, lamps,
refrigerators, etc...) the ampage
requirement was too low to
accommodate an extra electrical
appliance.
Proctor said the decision to
purchase the microwaves was
made this past summer. The
microwaves were paid for out of
general funds. The carpentry shop
installed all of the microwaves.
Students seem to like this
new addition to their campus
living. Proctor has received
positive feedback. One student
responded as Proctor walked into
one of the lounges, "These were a
good idea."
Asked if any future plans to
improve campus living were in
order, Proctor said there weren't
any right now, but if anyone has
ideas for improvements to bring
them to any member of the
Residence Hall Association, he
said that they welcome any ideas
students may have and do their
best to incorporate them into
campus living.

Microwaves were placed in all the lounges during winter
reak. It is the responsibility of the students to take care
of them.
Now you can afford to dream in color
Apple introcluces the Macintosh LC.
If you thought that finding a color
Macintosh® system you could afford
was just a dream, then the ne^ affordable Macintosh LC is a dream
come true.
The Macintosh LC is rich in color. Unlike many computers that can display
only 16 colors at once, the Macintosh LC expands your palette to 256 colors.
It also comes with a microphone and new sound-input technology that lets
you personalize your work by adding voice or other sounds.
Like every Macintosh computer, the LC is easy to set up and easy to
master. And it runs thousands of available applications that all work in the
same, consistent way-so once you’ve learned one program, you’re well
on your way to learning them all. The Macintosh LC even lets you share infor
mation with someone who uses a different type of computer-thanks to
the versatile Apple* SuperDriver which can read from and write to Macintosh
MS-DOS, OS/2, and Apple II floppy disks.
Take a look at the Macintosh LC and see what it gives you. Then pinch
yourself. It’s better than a dream-it’s a Macintosh.
