Seeking shelter by Sieve Dye D This year, some Cowley students will experience problems on a larger scale than finding enough time to study or locating their classrooms. For them the problem will hit closer to home. They may not be able to find one, at least not on campus. The College is finding it hard to place students who want to live on campus. About a week before classes started, Sid Regnier, vice-president of ad- ministration told the board of trustees that even by using all available housing there were still seven more housing con- tracts than there were dor- mitory spaces. The College is finding a variety of solutions to the problem. The most permanent, and the most expensive, of these solutions is the con- struction of a new 40-bed dor- mitory at the corner of Fourth Street and Central. Con- struction on the dorm started in July and is already out of the ground. The new dormitory, which is being built by Walz and Sigler Construction Co. from Wichita, carries a projected $732,300 price tag. While the new dormitory is a much needed addition to the campus, it ' s completion date is uncertain. Regnier told the Board of Trustees in an Aug. It meeting that the constructor company is projecting an end o January completion but he isn ' 1 sure that ' s possible. The dormitory will provide relief to a situation which presently has students staying three to a room which was designed for two. According to Director of Student Life Virgi Watson, students who are staying three to a room will be moved to the new facility as soon as it is completed. (Continued on page 7) PULSE Survival Guide

Dorm (Continued from page 6) We ' re going to move the students staying three to a room first, and we ' re going to give them single rooms over there, Watson said. The College has also fur- nished a garage apartment behind Ireland Hall which will accomodate four students. Watson said that for security reasons, those rooms will be housed by male students because it may be too dark to put girls back there. The situation may be relieved somewhat by the normal at- trition rate of the students. We will lose 10 or so at the beginning, Watson said. Some basketball players may not make the first team and will get mad and go home, and some girls might decide they don ' t like it here-that it ' s not what they expected-and go home to mom. For the most part, Watson says the students understand the crowded situation. We talked to them about it, and no one minded. They all wanted to stay, he said. While some students may be able to seek accomodations off campus, many can ' t afford to. We have students on Pell Grants that aren ' t here yet. They can ' t tell a landlord they ' ll pay him when their Pell Grant arrives, Watson said. We can wait on the money here at the College, but you can ' t find a landlord to do that. Henderson named dorm supervisor by Steve Dye Cowley may not have a new dormitory yet, but they do have a new dorm supervisor. Pat Henderson is a graduate of Oklahoma State University, with a bachelors degree in psychology. She also has an associate degree in word processing fom Tulsa Junior College. Henderson is married to a corrections officer at a prison in Hominy, Okla. They have two children, a 14 year-old boy and an 1 1 year-old boy. Before coming to Cowley, Henderson worked as a house service worker at the Winfield State Hospital and Training Center. She said that her job there was unsatisfying. I wasn ' t too happy with my prior job, mainly because I felt like I -spent all that time going to school, then I wound up in a job where I didn ' t use my college education, she said. As dormitory supervisor, Henderson is aware of the shortage of available housing for students on campus. We do have more students than we have rooms, but we ' re think it ' s going to be a real trying to make everybody hap- challenge, and that it ' s going to py and put them where they get me in the area where I want want, she said. Henderson is aware that there were some problems with dorm management last year, but said that she doesn ' t an- ticipate any trouble. I ' ve had some of the studen- ts and some of the staff both tell me that things got a little out of hand last year, but I ' m going to put my foot down at the very beginning and say that we ' re going to treat the roomates with respect, and if not, they will be written up. I ' m hoping that I can say ' hey, this is going to be our family life for a year and let ' s all try and work together ' , she said. Henderson said that although it means being apart from her family, she is happy to be at Cowley. I love it. I really do. When I first interviewed for this job, there was some hesitation because of my family situation. But my husband said, ' Hey, it ' s up to you, ' so I took the job. I to go, she said.
