K A j. reed ATONEATONEATONEATONEATONEATONEATONEATONEATONEATONEATONEATONEATO Last year the Residence Halls Office faced many closed floors and many double rooms which were single on every floor. The number of students living on campus was not enough to cover the vacancies. Responding to this problem, radical changes in dorm Eolicies were instituted in an attempt to ring the students back to campus. An outstanding number of students returned to dorm life this year, causing a housing shortage. The overflow of students was solved by the use of temporary housing at the University Inn and Howard Johnson ' s. They were then gradually moved to campus housing. What were the changes that inspired this renewed interest in campus hving? Residence Halls has provided the students with a number of different lifestyles, and created more special interest areas. j. reed 29

The 1968 Complex has been designated to hold almost 100% freshman students in two different towers. Separate floors have been created for marine biology, nursing, presidential scholarship, limited visitation and quiet study areas. The purpose of this was to create a freshman dorm to make it easier for them to adjust to college life, to keep students on campus and increase their GPA ' s. Residence Halls feels that by putting people together who share similar interests they can accomplish these goals. The 960 Complex is a mix of freshmen and upperclassmen and houses males and females on alternate floors in both towers. Special features include quiet study floors. Mahoney Pearson consists of a majority of upperclassmen and some freshmen, with men and women arranged in opposite wings of each floor. Both halls have a quiet study area and limited visitation floors. A special interest feature is the third floor of Mahoney, which consists of art and architecture majors. Eaton Hall is designed only for upperclassmen, with males and females living in alternate suites. MAHONEY PEARSONMAHONEY PEARSONMAHONEY PEARSONMAHONEY PEARSONMAHO j. reed 30
