Enduring it all Streetside Shhh . . . you are on Streetside! The area of cam- pus which has long been seen as a quiet area is Street- side, which is composed of Jenkins, Benedum and Agnes Howard residence Halls. The buildings offer both the old and the new. Prior to the completion of Camden, Benedum Hall was the newest hall on campus, and Agnes Howard the oldest. Benedum offers many features which the older halls do not offer. It has many lounge areas as well as a number of kitchens for use by its residents. Benedum also has the Nellie Wilson lounge on first floor. Jenkins has long been seen as the hall which houses upperclassmen. During the summer of 1982, Jenkins received many of the benefits of renovations. Plans are in the works to provide more lounge and recreation areas for Jenkins. Agnes Howard Hall provides for residents the oppor- tunity for both community and suite living. Aggie, as it is often referred, has also seen improvements. The college recently completed the restoration of the bathrooms on suite-side. Along with the college ' s efforts are the efforts of the College Club of Buckhannon — which provide for the needs of the building, to preserve its antiquity. Jerry Yeatts served as Residence Life Coor- dinator for Jenkins, Benedum and Agnes Howard halls. Jerry came to WVWC with his wife, Sue, from Ohio University. The Assistant Coordinators for Streetside were Jane Nickell in Benedum and Lisa Mummaw in Agnes Howard. Jane and Lisa, both Wesleyan students, completed their studies in the Spring, 1983. Jerry, Jane, and Lisa worked throughout the year in coordinating their RA staffs. In the Spring they held a carnival to benefit United Way.

Donna Kocher resided in Fleming Hall and served as the Residence Life Coordinator for the Quad area. She came to Wesleyan from Alma College in Michigan where she worked in Housing for two years. Assisting Donna in the Quad were Teri Velicoff in McCuskey, and David Wharton in Doney Hall. In an effort to provide for the needs of their residents, they aided in the initiation of Quad Council which sponsored programs. The Quad Have you ever been quaded? Have you ever tried? Unless you have been a student lucky enough to live in the Quad, this probably has little meaning to you. This excitement is a part of the experience which is shared by the residents of McCuskey, Doney, and Fleming Halls. Although the Quad has long maintained the reputation of being wild, the residents find the at- mosphere excellent in providing for individual growth and expression. Due to the close proximity of the buildings, social interaction runs rampant in the Quad. In an effort to renew the physical structures of this area, the Quad is undergoing renovations. The rooms of the residents are being repainted and necessary repairs are being made. Study areas have been added in many areas, and carpeting has been installed in those areas which did not have it before. Along with these im- provements, plans have been made to provide more study and kitchen areas. With its new look, the Quad has experienced a renewed sense of pride.
