Things went from bad to worse when I got a horrible lottery number to be on top of the waiting list. This is unacceptable.

This may be my final commentary for the Loquitur. This may also be my final semester here at Cabrini. Right when this school was beginning to grow on me, they are basically putting me out on the street.

This points system that has been installed to decide a student's fate is not working.

I was not one of the lucky people to get a spot on campusfor the next school year. Neither was my roommate, Joe D' Amico. The only thing Joe could mutter when he received the news was, "Pepsi is much bet-

I was in the same position last year when I signed up for the Marquis. I got screwed but took it with a grain of salt, and had to look for housing on my own. From living off campus this year, I know I cannot do it again. There is no way a full-time college student can work 30 hours a week to get by financially and still be on top of his schoolwork.

The points system was supposedly passed by students. However, were any of these students commuters? I want to know why the critena for the points system was left uncompleted.

Why does someone who lives 20 minutes away have the same chance of getting a room than someone who Ii ves two hours away and cannot commute? I also want to know why, if the points system was open to students, was it not open to ALL the students it affects?

I have contributed to this school-paid my dues, if you will-and that does not seem to count for anything. It is very unsettling to know that there are people that have a room but do not live in it. I know people that go back home on a daily basis and do not appreciate the chance they have to make something of themselves at Cabrini. I want all of these people to think of me on their 20 minute drives home to Mommy. I want them to realize that some of the people that actually contribute to the College mission statement are left back in their hometown working a full-time job in the factory in the middle of the night, trying to figure out how they got back there.

I came to college to make something of myself, as do most college students. After working the night shift at Thomson Electronics before my first day of college, I swore to myself that I would succeed in college anli never to return to working the overnight shift. I do not want to go back to the Q-set department until I'm 65 years old. The things I will take away from my short college career-if things don't work out-are the great friendships I have made. It has been a pleasure to write for my friend
