Denton Hall, an 8 story high-rise dorm sits at the very edge of the campus of the Pacific University. This old coed dorm, part of a three building Quad, readies for the start of the Spring Semester at PU. Parents hug their children, new roommates are introduced, and senior residents greet their old friends. The start of this semester finds the third floor in bit of a transitional phase. More then half of the hall’s residents have either graduated or have found other housing off campus. Senior residents, familiar with the routine, anxiously await their new residents and roommates. The long cinderblock hallways are crowded this afternoon as freshman finds their way and unpack their things. The third floor of Denton Hall houses about 100 students from all walks of life, with girls on one side and boys on the other separated by the elevator lobby and the game room. Each dorm room houses two students with the exception of those senior residents lucky enough to have their own single rooms. Only three days before classes officially begin…
Carrying a heavy suitcase, Brad walks to the very end of the hall and finds his room by the stairs. The door is open; his roommate Jim is already unpacked and laying on his bed listening to loud music. Seeing Brad enter he jumps out of bed turns his stereo down.
“ Are you my roommate?” he asks. “ This is appears to be my room” Brad replies.
“ Cool, Im Jim, nice to meet you” he says, getting back into bed. Brad was a sophomore, commuting from home for his first year, his parent’s orders until getting enough good grades that his parents granted his wishes to live on campus. Brad had a history of not paying attention to his studies and had to earn his way to Denton Hall. His focus was more on drinking, sports and girls, then on biology and math. His 5’11 bulky frame and curly dark blond hair along with his dry sense of humor made him a favorite at beer bashes and house parties; still he had larger ambitions and felt the time was right to follow his dreams. He was going to buckle down this semester, he wouldn’t let his parents down, still they worried about the temptation of college life on their young son and the new experiences he might encounter….
