MAURA O ne room in CNR’s oldest and quaintest dorm, Maura Hall. The hall itself is equipped with many attractive features, such as easy access to both the Physical Plant and Mail Room. No long waits for dead rodent remov¬ al or journeys of epic proportions to pick up those packages from Mom here .. . Maura Hall also proudly offers a serene, majestic ballroom, breath-taking staircase and, for the music- lover, a choice of pi¬ anos to satisfy any taste. Of course Maura’s rooms come in a variety of sizes, from singles roomy enough for three to triples cozy enough for one. And the best feature of all is the thrill of discovering just what room is in store for you. Y ou’re dressed to kill and ready to en¬ ter the place where dreams come true - - MAURA BALLROOM. Win¬ dows dressed in folds of carnation brocade frame a band on stage and a bevy of glowing classmates - - with dates. The night passes too quickly, and as the band plays its last set, everyone is left wanting more. That is, ev¬ eryone except the four floors of residents who weren’t invited and can’t wait for their beds to stop shaking. Their only thoughts are of stuffing the folds of carnation brocade down the band’s throats and biding their time until their class can celebrate its mo¬ mentous occasion. Maura Hall slumber party? Get to sleep! — Maura

True, we’ve heard rumors: archaic plumbing, a maze interior. half the residents driven out by heat, the other half by cold, but of course these are only rumors. How could any dormitory complete with its own courtyard be anything but charming? Well, Brescia, it’s written. Now let’s just hope it gets typed ...
