HOUSING OFFICE When I found out that the theme of the annual was to be 'Survival at CSB' it seemed apropos to our situation here in the Living-Leaming Center. The first year of any operation is a struggle for survival - getting on your feet, establishing relation- ships within the larger campus community, working out policies and procedures, etc. It's been an interesting, stimulating year for me. I think the newness is half the fun. It's exciting to watch something as new as we are grow, to be a part of it, to know that what you do now will have an effect on the college for some time to come. So it becomes challenging, the biggest challenge being - how to humanize the educational institution. John Beckman Housing Advisor 29

28 I am a village fellow. You may not know what that means and I'm not always sure that I do. To some of you, I am one of 15 faculty members who sign your advising slips each quarter. To others, the one who occu- pies the office across the hall and keeps yelling, hey, turn down that music! To a few, a friend, Damned few, though, and that's too bad . . . Sincerely, Village Fellow n HOUQE FELLOWQ

One of the most important factors in surviving any educational institution is people - people who help and care about each other. There are seven students on campus this year, the Resi- dent Assistants, whose job it is to help other students in the Houses. As any of them will tell you, it '3 been a year of personal growth, excitement, and frus- tration. There have been moments when they themselves wondered if they would survive, but they've all made it - much to the benefit of the resident students in their Houses.
