That in itself set a lot of upperclassmen off. But the housing problem was not solved. Upon arrival at school this year freshman found themselves living in Ludwell, in what used to be study lounges in Dupont, and tripled up in doubles. Throughout the year ef- forts were made to combat this overcrowding before the end of the year. Some improvements were made but not all freshmen were moved into roomier hous- ing. In the Spring ORL did not accept as many new students for the 1987-88 school year but the dam- age was already done. The large class of 1990 would affect housing on campus for at least four years if not more. Cont. p. 10

•js : N- v The second major change the students had to make was related to trash. Every year before this the student ' s did not have to take out their own trash. ORL made another habit changing decision when they decided students, not the cleaning staff would be required to take out their own trash to the dump- sters. Not too difficult for many, those who were close to the dumpsters, but a long haul for others. The cleaning staff had com- plained that they could not get all their work done be- cause it took them so long taking out trash every day. The new rule forced many students to change their habits, but others just put trash out into the halls as usual when other hall mates were not around. The rule did not seem to be close to changing though. The construction on campus provided yet an- other change in routine for the students. With both the Patrick McQuillan Muscarelle museum and Swem Library being added onto students found it diffi- cult if not impossible to make it to class on time if they had to walk from old campus to new. The large fence constructed around Swem and Muscarelle cut off several walkways and students had to make new ones. When it rained the new paths were mud, mak- ing walking to class an un- desirable trek. Cont. p. 14
