However, these living conditions were everyday experiences for the majority of students who lived on campus. As the housing requests flowed in for the fall of 1982, it was apparent a housing shortage exsisted. The main concern for Housing Director Bruce Wake was where to house the surplus 96 students. To ease the housing shortage, 66 temporary housing positions were created. Male students were housed anywhere space permitted, including lounges on the floors of phillips and dietrich halls. The second floor in Colbert Hall, which had previously housed women, was filled with male residents. Even though the lounges were spacious, there were numerous disadvantages. It is not a room, it has no furniture and storage, complained Molino, I leave everything in my suit case or throw it on my bed. What will be done if more students decide to live on campus! Currently, plans are in the process to remodel Cauffield Hall for housing. When completed, it will house between 25 to 30 residents. Along with this addition, another floor in Franken will be converted to male housing. -LouAnn Harr —8 Dorm Life
