It called itself a bike room, but the Bike Room of today would scoff and spit at this label, turning away in disgust. According to Rogala, the bike room consisted of a work bench, a smorgasbord of some inferior tools, and a desperate need for leadership.

She could not help but notice that the only books available to those at this shelter were "trashy" romance novels.

Slowly, they position it against their lips and blow. "The theory behind this is that the pressure and headaches of classes are so great that balloons relieve this tension. I think it is a chance for students to express themselves," said Bon dishwasher Ted Clarence Jordan, father of the rubberized gifts and otherwise known as "Yogi." Witnessing Jordan make his rounds during dinner is as frequent as bento being served at lunch. Although we see him everyday, many students wonder who he is and where he is from.
