Importance of Recycling at the University I remember my first semester here at the University and the dark halls of the Bates House Residence Hall. Many a party was concluded with an idea for what to do with the endless piles of cans that had congregated on the floor. One idea, I remember, was to wall someone into his room and another was to see how many we could stand on end without toppling. But, we usually just ended up throwing them in the trashcans in our refuse room. Sometimes out
Franklin College, established in 1834, was the first coeducational institution in Indiana and the seventh in the nation. Franklin College has grown, physically and ideologically, and has made changes to its campus to support the larger amount and increasing variety of people.

Ideologically, Franklin has grown towards an ideology that gives students the opportunity for greater equality and responsibility
Today is the big day, the day I move from my house to a college dorm room. I knew after the first day after I graduated, I felt like I was ready to be on my own. You ever get that feeling that they say you get when you graduate. You feel as if the world is yours and all you want to do is explore and do everything you dreamed of. As the days count down to go to college I forget that college really is not free. So, I began to stress out. I thought I was ready but realty hit me dead in the face. It
Of primary importance in dormitory design is the issue of privacy. In Designing Places for People, author C.M. Deasy states: Privacy is as important to dorm residents as it is to anyone else, but it is usually much harder to obtain. Dormitory or barracks living implies being surrounded by people. Being alone or sharing private time with someone else is normally not considered to be an option. If privacy is needed, it must be sought somewhere else. In this regard dormitories fail to provide for an
This is a question all college students must answer: Is it better to live on campus or off campus? They both have their advantages and disadvantages, so it is very important to do your research before making this decision. A lot of people who decide to go to college wonder if it is more cost efficient to live on campus, rather than live off campus while having to pay for furniture and other household appliances.

The dorms belonging to the Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca are no strangers to some degree of scandal. There have been many cases of abuse of power signaled by the students throughout the years in regarding the dorm regulations as well as the placement of some people who do not qualify to be assigned to a dorm with a higher degree of comfort. The basic principle in which a student can be assigned a room on campus is simple: a certain faculty has a pre-established number of dormitory places
As a resident of the Setters Leadership and House FIG, my passion for serving the community has grown even more. I view my RA as a leader in the community—a person that I can entrust and seek if I ever need help. Those who currently uphold a RA position in the residence halls that I have built relationships with have inspired me to become a RA. The RAs that I got to know helped me adjust to the different environment here at Pace. With that difficult transition from Hawaiʻi to New York, I know how

Cuba's Economic and Political Instability Cuba’s political instability and sugar-centered economy were the result of U.S. influence through the Platt Amendment and the various Sugar Acts and reciprocity treaties. Marifeli Perez-Stable takes this stance in her book The Cuban Revolution: Origins, Course, and Legacy in her interpretation of Cuban radical nationalism in the 1950’s. The domination of Cuba’s economy by the sugar industry was responsible for much of its wealth but also a great deal of

The campaign of Obama was so focused on ‘change’, because that is what the people wanted to hear.

In this paper I will examine Fidel Castro’s History Will Absolve Me speech as a tool, to illustrate the vast differences between Cuba prior to the revolution and after, in order to determine whether, if indeed, history has absolved Castro. Moreover, to completely understand the Cuban revolution, one first needs to know the cause of the revolution. Despite the multitude of personal reasons for wanting a revolution in Cuba there is generally a consensus among the Cuban people that the revolution was

Batista then with the help of the US controlled the country through a couple of puppet presidents and then became president himself in 1940. From 1940 to 1944 Batista ruled as president until in the 1944 election he lost

The soldier explains how powerful the Queen is and how she uses her power over others to gain what she wants. He also talks about the soldiers that do her bidding. Any idealistic notions the soldiers may have had at the thought of being soldiers is countered by the reality of their day-to-day lives. Kipling’s own life experiences lends credence to the

Auschwitz. Located in the suburbs of Oswiecim, Poland, the extermination camp became a symbol of death around the world! From the gas chambers to barracks and cremation ovens, Auschwitz left every prisoner petrified. When you first step into Auschwitz, you immediately feel surrounded. You are locked in by 13 feet of electrified barbed wire. Barracks built by the dozen enclose you. And, not to mention every SS officer and kapo screaming orders at you as you walk to roll call. You feel trapped, and
