Molina writes that he is "very proud to be an alumnus of the University of Regina. Coming from Kamloops, B.C., I did not know what to expect out of Regina and Saskatchewan. As it turned out, my University days were some of the greatest times of my life, resulting in life-long friendships. I would like to personally thank the political science department, especially department head at the time Phil Hansen and Shreesh Juyal who gave me many opportunities to grow and learn as a student."

LAST WORD WORD Reminiscing about residence My first introduction to College West was in the middle of a power outage when I was literally fresh off the boat – a whole five days in fact. At that point, new to the country and very much a foreign student, I was unaware of how much my time and experiences at College West would prepare me for the future. Central to making College West my home for the next four years was a fantastic group of resident assistants (RA), great support staff in the form of Pat Bellamy (College West Residence co-ordinator), and the day-to-day quirks of living among 266 individuals. Move-in day was always the September long weekend. In the flurry of dispensing keys, and assigning mailboxes and identification cards, we RAs would try to guess which of the slightly stunned looking first-year students would emerge as natural leaders during their time in residence. The greatest challenge as an RA was trying to keep a straight face when attempting to regulate the behaviour of residents. Whether it was reminding a student that gun racks were not allowed in the suites, or instructions to dismantle a shrine to Molson's brewery and remove the beer caps from the ceiling, or suggesting to residents that the furniture that had 'somehow' found its way to the roof deck (the University's best kept secret) might be returned to its rightful owner, there were few dull moments. But the RAs were by no means perfect either! I fell victim to my own authority when, attempting to enlighten residents on College West's fire policies, I somehow managed to cover my RA partner, Dave Grewal, in yellow fire retardant and kill the resident fish during my demonstration. College West was a melting pot (not just referring to the hapless first-year students learning how to cook!) of cultures, nationalities and ideas and although it was originally designed to promote communal living, not everyone appreciated this sentiment. In its 30-year history there were plenty of disputes over loud music or who would take out the garbage or clean the bathroom. That said, The University of Regina has a rich history of on-campus living. Over the years, Luther College, College West and La Résidence have been home to thousands of students, faculty members and staff. We tracked down five of those residents and asked them to share their fondest memories of the people, the life and the times of the place they once called home. Rebecca Gibbons College West was a place where lifelong friends were made, where there was the familiar hallway smell of exotic cooking and where there was always someone to talk to in the wee hours of the morning. Rebecca Gibbons came to Canada from Ireland in 1995. She was a resident assistant at College West from 1996 until she graduated in 1999 with a BA(Hons) in English. I've been living in the La Résidence for almost two years. The very first semester I moved in I had a roommate from Mexico whose name was Lorena. Lorena was on an exchange program for the semester. I got to know her very well. She is a very kind, sensitive and fun person. It was so funny during the final exam week. She finished her exams one day before me so she went out to enjoy the freedom of not studying. She did not come home until I woke up to study. What a wild girl she was! The very first day we moved into the same room, we decided to teach each other our language. I wrote down most of the things I learned from her, although I didn't remember everything she taught me. I still remember what we said to each other every night. When we would go to bed, I would say in Spanish buenas noches (good night) and she would say in Japanese oyasumi (good night). I still remember this even though it has been more than a year since she left. These words still remind me of the nights we worked hard on schoolwork and how thankful we felt for the day we had. Living in the residence has sometimes been tough because people I've come to know very well have left. I always think that I will see them someday, somewhere again. Lorena is in Mexico. I don't know if I will ever see her again but the time I spent with her will stay in my memory forever. Wakana Konno is a third-year environmental engineering student living in the La Résidence. She is from Nagano, Japan. Wakana Konno Spring 2004 THE THIRD DEGREE 27
