A price to pay for clean clothes CLOTHES LINE FRESH. Lori Ward. sophomore, takes her clothes from a dryer in the Harding laundry mat. Photo by Sharon Bowles. Time was limited in college and so was the number of clean clothes in dorm closets. To most students at Harding, doing laundry was utterly detested. So, the average student would put it off, until everything was worn, except maybe a pair of unmatched socks. But, hey, socks are socks, right? Horrible stories have been told about the laundromat. Did the dryers really eat clothes? Were the washing machines really possessed? Where did that "lost sock" go? Did it wait around for the other one? And why did my whites turn pink? Or what about when you found other people's clothes in your laundry basket? What were you supposed to do with them? Wear them? No, as you might have caused an ugly scene. What did the students dislike about doing their laundry? My roomie said the Willi a m Robe rt S helton - Cordova, TN. Management . TNT.

One girl said, "Walking all the way over there, and upon arrival, you see that all the machines are taken. I also hate putting away my clothes." I suggested that she get a maid. What about the story that Harding men use doing their laundry as an excuse to meet Harding ladies? Well, one day, I witnessed this with my own eyes. I was doing my laundry, and I spotted this guy who looked like a fifth year senior. Anyway, he was sorting his clothes, and happened to catch me looking at him with pity in my eyes. He started walking toward me, and nonchalantly asked, "Can I put my whites in with my reds?" I was tempted to say, "Yes, you can - in fact, I do it all the time." But if my mom had ever found out, she would have disowned me. The next day, I saw that same guy walking to chapel. He was wearing a bright pink shirt. Most students realized that laundry must be done, so they accepted it along with studying and curfew. But they also reminisced back to those days when good ole' Mom washed and ironed t heir clothes. Those students saved their laundry unt il they made that once a month trip home, and Mom was greeted with a quick hug and a toss of the laundry bag in her hands. And the good woman that she was, Mom would labor all weekend trying in desperation to get all the clothes washed before you departed on Sunday afternoon. Mom was given a quick goodbye kiss, she tossed you that laundry bag with a box of fresh baked brownies inside, and off you went - back to school, and Mom slept for a week. - Carmelita Bandy
