John Sullivan, director of West Dorm. Dorms, Apartments House College Eds Of the approximately 3,000 students who hve on the campus or in the immediate area, about half are male. Freshman boys are required by college regula- tions to live in the college residence halls, but upperclassmen are permitted to set up housekeeping in apartments or boarding houses around the campus. At present the college owns three residence units for men. Quads I and II are separate units which, with the women ' s quads, occupy a square block. Units I and II house 150 men each. West Dorm now has a housing capacity of 600 men since the addition of a new wing which was opened in the fall of I960. Those boys who don ' t live in the college dorms live either in apartments or boarding houses near the campus. To their dismay, some have found that not living in a dorm demands that they perform them- selves those duties done by college employees in the dorms. Many a male student has found it easier to eat out every night or to open several cans of food than to prepare a well-balanced meal. Fred Slack, director of Men ' s Quads SEEMS as if these West Dormers have taken a stand in the hot 1960 Presidential campaign — Neumann gets their vote. Eiiii-u- 30 DENTON newsboys evidently have persuaded these Quads I and II residents to pass the time reading the paper while waiting in the endless cafeteria line.

THIS weary Green Jacket takes her post in the library hall- way to direct students during the registration period. OUCH! That hurts! a student who lost his vaccination card tells the nurse. Students who lose their yellow cards must be re-vaccinated. AFTER finding that the class being taught by his favorite teacher is sti closed, this ed looks through the college bulletin for another class. Collegians Fight Lines To Enroll for Classes Only three more times! These well could have been the words sighed by a weary junior who has completed a three or four-hour stay in the library to register for classes — some wanted, some definitely unwanted, and some take- ' em-or-leave- ' em. Not only did lines, lines, and more lines compli- cate the registration process, but also the forgotten vaccination slip and closed sections added to the worries of the initiated as well as the uninitiated. For some the closed sections meant either revising a com- plete schedule of classes or waiting several hours for the required section to open. Registration seemed at times to be largely an endurance contest. After the hectic business of signing up for classes, the students buckled down to studying, but the ordeal of spring registration loomed ahead. Perhaps next time the vision of a quick, painless trip through the library would finally come true. But as an experi- enced senior said, Dream on, foolish junior.
