If you're talking about a true chameleon, not an anole. I'd highly recommend not putting any thing in it's cage, as they're very sensitive to stress, although how sensitive various with species. I had a Senegal chameleon when I was young that was very happy for several months until I decided to put an American toad in his tank and it turned off colors the next day, and it died a week later from stress. Also since you're in a dorm, I'll tell this tale, too. I had a fischer chameleon in college it lived for three months, but it died from the stress of people walking in and out of my dorm room all the time during finals week. In the reverse, I doubt your tiger would care about the chameleon though. In general it's a bad idea to mix species.

The best food for a tiger is earthworms. Pinkies contribute to unhealthy fat accumulation. Crickets are okay, but not the most nutritious. I'm sure others will have some input on tiger food. I'd suggest checking out the caudata care link. It will answer most of your questions.

Edit: Not that you should keep an Anole and Tiger salamander together either.

Definitely - do not keep the tiger and the chameleon in the same vivarium. First, their environmental requirements are totally different. Other problems are the pathogens each carry, the potential for biting, stress, etc. The chameleon (or anole) requires heat, a basking lamp and UV light. These would be lethal to your salamander. The salamander needs to be kept on a moist substrate at less than 72F. The best substrate is organic topsoil or cocofiber or a mix of both. The substrate should be at least at 3 inches for the salamander to burrow and there should be hides for it - cork bark, pieces of wood, etc. A small shallow water dish is also a good idea. There is absolutely no need for a half land and half water viv.

If you are in a dorm room, you have to assure that there is also a place where the tiger can be in dim light - do not place the viv under bright light.

As to what to feed....pinkies should never be a staple. Think worms, nightcrawlers, red wrigglers and dusted crickets - please see the care sheet that pete referrenced and look at this link from caudata culture on foods for caudates:
