Monday, December 1, 2003 THE BATtm Travelers nix restless nigh Pillow-to-go ensures good snooze tit By Judy Hevrdejs KRT CAMPUS They have lost sleep trying to squish hotel pillows into comfy submission and spent restless nights at relatives’ homes where guest-room pillows were as lumpy as lousy mashed potatoes. They have given up finding comfortable pillows on the road. They are the people who pack pillows when they travel. With the holiday travel sea son kicking off this week, expect to find them at railway stations, bus stations, interstate rest stops and just off interna tional flights and red-eyes from the West Coast. "I travel sometimes with a neck roll. 1 also travel with a little roll that has seeds and fragrance in it," said Clodagh, the Irish-born, New York-based designer and feng shui devotee. "A lot of us who travel a lot are attached to pil lows for one reason: comfort." Few of the pillow-packers fresh from rides on Amtrak’s California Zephyr and Empire Builder at Chicago's Union Station one recent afternoon would disagree. "It's down and it's comfy and it's a lot bigger than the ones they give you," said 24-year-old Carolyn Whitmer of the bed pil low accompanying her in coach from Montana to Ohio. Benjamin Johnson, 21, cush ioned his trip from his St. Cloud, Minn., home to Boston with help from a plump bed pillow. "I would not be able to sleep with out it," he said, noting that he also had packed a blanket. So, did it help? "I was totally out," Johnson said. "I was the last one off the train." There was a more pragmatic reason for 19-year-old Leslie Mays of Kirksville, Mo., to trav el with her bed pillow. "I'm stay ing in a hostel, and it could be nasty, so I brought my own pil low," she said, "just in case." That many people travel with pillows—from neck-nuzzling travel pillows to full-size bed pillows—doesn't surprise Eugene Halton, a professor of LOU 2. US 3. LSI 4. Mic 5. Ge< 6. Tex 7. Ten 8.

When he recently asked the 18 students in one of his classes about their pillow-packing prac tices, four people said they trav el with pillows. "For at least two of them, it was functional. They are on sports teams, and they travel on the bus a lot," he said. "They take it for comfort on the bus, which is understandable." Understandable, too, are the be-prepared travelers toting pil lows in the face of possible lay overs and the less-than-comfort- able seating designs found in so many waiting rooms. Said Halton, "A pillow could be very function al to grab five minutes’ rest." Two others in Halton's class offered reasons beyond simple function for toting pillows. "One guy said he doesn't like to use hotel pillows," Halton said. "They have a stale smell. Another guy said he sleeps with five pil lows ... and when he's in hotels, they're not thick enough. Halton. who co-wok book "The Meaning of 1 Domestic Symbols and Self." points to the funed aspects of pillows as wells comfort factor as the pne reason people travel wii "If you take the literalb of ‘comfort.’ it is to cm strengthen.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Disney vice chairman Roy E. Disney has resigned from the media giant’s board of directors, sources close to the company said Sunday. He reportedly called on chairman Michael Eisner to resign as well. Disney’s resignation may be a pre-emptive move to avoid being forced off the board of The Walt Disney Co. The board’s governance and nominat ing committee has decided not to recommend Disney for another term because he is over the mandated retirement age of 72, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
