...more than one team, Dallas Linebacker Jeff Rohrer had sworn, "If some scab is in my locker, I'm going to toss his stuff right out in the middle of the floor." But no clothes or fits have been thrown. And the air is almost as clear as the linoleum. In the aftermath of the football strike, pickets, defectors and replacements are cohabiting fairly well...

...brief hours between 3 a.m. and sunrise, the Tasty became the center of my known universe, a linoleum temple of greasy smells, wild conversation and piping hot coffee.

However much freshmen may criticize the Union, Burriss Young, associate dean of freshmen, says that it is a lot better now than it used to be. In the late 1970s the vestibule was completely redone, and some "really raunchy linoleum was taken up, and the nice stone floor uncovered." Young says that he would like to do more.
