Malaki Edison Desk Manager of Hashinger Hall BY JOSH LANDAU
Even before Malaki Edison became a student at the University of Kansas, he knew it was his home. He specifically felt tied to Hashinger Hall, where he has been spending time with his friends since 1996.
"I used to skate inside at the fifth floor lobby," Edison said.
The sixth-year senior has been considering himself a "Hashie" ever since. He is the desk manager of the hall, handling logistics, desk staff and security staff. He has only lived elsewhere when Hashinger was closed for renovations. Even during his year away from the hall, he never really left. As a member of the renovation committee, he was able to be the voice of the students.
"We won and lost on the renovations," Edison said. "But everything that we have, like the porch, is because the students fought for it."
During the renovations Edison was the desk manager at Ellsworth Hall. Though he had no complaints, Edison was happy to move back into Hashinger.
"Hash was the first time I felt like I belonged somewhere," Edison said. "When they took the fence down and we could sit on the porch again, I knew I was back home."
"I loved the residence at Ellsworth, but the architecture there is just not the same. I just dig this place," Edison said.
After the renovations, Edison is adjusting to the changes in Hashinger. Drywall instead of cinder blocks and new, unbroken furniture and lights are some of the biggest differences, he said. Still, Hashinger is truly his home.
"If I had it my way, I'd be involved in film after college, but I still want to look at being a professor," Edison said.
lectison is an expanded media art and film student. After college he wants to go to graduate school in New York or get a job in the industry, but he still wants to be involved in the education system.
