Cable in Dormitories
Television antennas, Cable television, Students, Dormitories, Susquehanna University
Students who brought their own TVs to campus often had trouble with reception. This led to the illegal wiring of their sets to the line in the dormitory lounge. Cable wires strung through windows presented a security risk and so the Univesity began to offer students the option of cable for their rooms. The installation fee was $15.00 and the service fee was $20.75 every three months.

Desk top graffiti as a sign of genius? Perhaps, but most likely just an indication of the interests of the student who occupied the seat before you. This Crusader writer analyzes the three types of graffiti: the rock group, the love group and the Greek group, and laments that all of their creativity is simply washed away. So sad!

The Campus Center Game Room was a place for students to unwind.

Stakes ran high with winners taking home their choice of an ATARI home video game cassette, a pocket calculator or $15 cash.
