S„ Sorry, but boys can ' t be junior proctors in this dorm. closely knit group Clark Hall Clark Hall, a two-story freshmen wom- en ' s residence, faces the front of the campus and completes a quadrangle of dorms. This year, as in the past, the closely knit group of girls have participated in campus social and athletic activities. The Clark Hall open houses are usually huge successes due to the hospitality and spirit of the girls. Under the guidance of their house mother, Kay Haher- lach, and the junior proctor Maria Girard, the freshmen women learn how to live to- gether. They govern their dorm through election of women to the house council. They also alternate as hostesses in their lounge each evening.

' 3 It stands tall and strong on the edge of town. Hughes Hilton Hughes Hall This year, the center of attraction on the A.U. campus is Hughes Hall. From the beginning, it was called the Hughes Hilton ' by those impressed by the $1.5 million dormitory for women. Ultra-modern in structure with spacious rooms, elevators, and lounges from the main lounge on the first floor to television lounges on each floor, we all feel more than at home. With a new dorm comes the growing pains. The fire drills at 12 :30 when it seems like 3 or 4 in the morning. Could you forget the night on the sixth floor when the sink fell off the wall? That bell, but which one ... is someone stuck on the elevator, is it the phone, or do I have a caller downstairs? We ' ll never forget the times we were caught indisposed in the hall by the workmen when they whispered man in the hall. And open house, when our neat rooms were open to the public, including the boyfriend. All in all. we love our new dorm and certainly have broken it in for those who fol- low. However, the ones we really say thank you to are our house mother, Mrs. Nunes, and each proctor on the floor. 28 campus life
