ecial LJ Ji. S D O fl S O I flJ.Il 3,HCl programs special ACTIVITIES By Kara DeBoer Regardless of a student ' s year at the University, dormitory life provided a strong social network and an outlet for community outreach. Every dorm on campus offered its own distinctive opportunities for residents. Of all dorms on campus, East Quad boasted the most creative activities. From the dorm ' s own theatre troupe, the RC Players, to its art gallery and performance venue, the Half Way Inn, residents benefited from a plethora of artistic programs. One of the year ' s first performances, An Evening of Scenes, was acted out by dorm residents. Confronting the year ' s most relevant political issue, resi- dents of East Quad also performed a Semi-Guerilla Play about Bush ' s Proposed War on Iraq. Multicultural councils in many dorms headed the orga- nization of dorm activities. Nick Rutledge, LSA sophomore and member of the West Quad A ' Subuhi multicultural council, said the dorms offer a good chance for students to branch out and get a taste of a different culture. The A ' Subuhi council sponsored two speakers for Native American Heritage Month, including a University professor. Rutledge said the council also spon- sors Westifest, a dorm-wide end-of- year celebration. Akshay Bajpaee, LSA sophomore and peer advi- sor for his Couzens Michigan Community Scholars Pro- gram, said dorm activities help students connect with other people in their residence hall. He said, It provides good social stability. The Couzens MCSP organized movie nights, a haunted house trip, community service programs, and a forum following the events of 9-11 featuring pro- fessors and experts on world politics. Nadya Sheikh said Couzens was also home to student interest groups. We have a group called the ' midnight runners ' who go running at 9:30 p.m. three times a week, and also a birthday com- mittee who decorates students ' doors, she said. All students at the University could find a dorm fulfilling their custom needs. From intramural sports and yoga classes to craft and open mike nights, at least one had what every student liked. Even the most randomly placed freshmen could find a home away from home. HOUSING 311
