Wardrobes, Boy Friends, Snores And Goldfish
Keep Roommates Together For Four Years
By Sally Reiland
Roommates. There are some who
stick together all the way and some
wlio don’t. Of those who do, there
are six good examples in the Senior
class.
i For Alison Britt and Carol
Glaser; Lu Long Ogburn and Sara
Sue Tisdale—this is their fourth
year of rooming together. But for
the Shopes, who are an exception
to every case, it is the 2lst year.
Jean and Joan met each other
at a very early age—several minutes
old, to be exact. They quickly
abandoned the idea of separation
when coming to college on the
grounds that: (1) they were “scared
to death,” and (2) rooming apart
wou 1 d completely disrupt their joint
wardrobe and force them into sew
ing name tapes on their unmention
ables. The twins depend on each
other for everything from trans
porting laundry to “standing in”
for each other—but depend on their
Suite mate (who, incidently, still
doesn’t know which one she is
waking up) to arouse them in the
morning.
Lu Long and Sara Sue met each
other taking entrance exams for
Salem, but didn’t know then that
they would room together. Sara
Sue says that she has made one
real blunder in their friendship.
That was in trying to get too well
acquainted with Tommy Medlin, to
whom Lu Long is now engaged, and
whom she thought was Lu’s most
attractive brother some four years
ago. Lu says that there has never
been a dull moment—what with
Sara Sue’s four-year array of vari
ous boyfriends. Although each of
the girls admitted that “I do all
the dirty work in the room—but
please don’t put that in print,” they
do agree on one point—their 10:30
p.m. bed-time. The combination,
they say, of Lu’s musical inspira-

tion and Sara Sue’s home ec-in-
spired practicality has held them
together in considerable peace and
quietude.
In consideration of the Alison-
Carol duo, there is one predominant
element—Alison snores. “She al
ways has snored and she always
will snore,” according to Carol.
Alison remembers how upset Carol
was when she heard that she was
rooming with someone from Mur
freesboro, being sure that whatever
it was, it would be a country hick—
especially since Alison had written
that her eyes had a tendancy to
cross and that her hair was kinky.
Once they met, however, they found
each other quite tolerable—snores
and kinks included—for they lost
no time in discovering that Carol
had short boyfriends and Alison
had tall ones, and that they could
swap that for whiph they had no
use. It seems that their one point
of disagreement over the years has
been about the amount of fresh air
necessary for sleeping. In the
meantime, they agree on a policy
that when one of Alison’s goldfishes
dies, Carol must dispose of the body
in a deluge of tears.
So it goes with the four-year
roommates !
