well, Jon, those at K'zoo are hardly representative of U.S. dorm rooms
generally.
the very strong Cistercian presence at Western Michigan dictated that all the
dorm rooms used for the conference should be based on the La Trappe model
specifically designed by Rancé himself --the living conditions of the 12th c.
houses of the order being considered much too luxurious to give 20-21st c.
akademics a real taste of middlevil life.
