Th E15 Nu Plan: E lt Tremblin' Trimble. Eiueet Hume Fllabama, Ur '5.F'.l.E. .- Saunders The one thing that all college students dread worse than finals is the weekly chore of cleaning their rooms. However, a few select Emory students are immune to this fate because they have the luxury of living in a motel room. This is just one of the policies that Residence Life is proud of in that it will guarantee campus housing to any student who continues to request it throughout their college years, even at the college's expense. lt was estimated in the spring of 1982 that some 500 people who requested housing would be housed in the various motels, Emory Pines and Sheraton, that are in the vicinity of the campus. But there is speculation on behalf of Dean Moon of residence Life, that this does not represent the entire portion of the stu- dent body that wants housing. Dean Moon remarked that transfer students rarely apply for housing because they know their requests probably will not be honored. However the number of stu- dents in off-campus housing has been re- duced significantly to less than one-hun- dred fifty students because of no-shows by freshmen, upperclassmen, and alter- native housing arrangements made. With the addition of the four hundred unit Turman Center, the housing short- age would seem to be a problem of the past. Dean Moon sees the opposite oc- curring, because more students will be 26fThere's No Place Like Home! attracted by the new center, to apply for housing. Also since Winship, a freshman dorm, will be demolished in 1983, there will only be a net gain of 300 units. In addition to the new Turman Center being constructed, the older dormitories are being renovated to correct electrical and other maintenance problems at an estimated cost of 51.5 million. Everything possible is being done by Emory in order to offer a more attractive housing pro- gram for its students. Despite all these efforts, the faithful Lottery system will continue to be a spring tradition at Emory to determine fall housing arrangements. Dean Moon and the other members of the Residence Life feel it is the fairest system available and they would greatly appreciate input on the students behalf, regarding the housing situation and the Lottery. However, taking everything into con- sideration, the situation is not as bad as it could be. ln fact Emory's is quite proud of how it has handled the problem. As Dean Moon remarked, To my knowl- edge, no other college does what Emory does by way of housing students off-cam- pus at the school's expense. I personally am proud of this because it shows that people care and we here at Emory, espe- cially care about our students. - Linda Peacock

Lil-I Hum l The old Emory taboo of freshman males and females sharing living quarters gradually became history as the 1981 Dobbs Experience spread in 1982 to all the freshman dorms except Means and Longstreet. Separation of the sexes by floor was the norm except for one floor in McTyeire Hall where both girls and guys became neighbours. The coed experience is a major factor Gonzales in adaptation to college life. A feeling of closeness resulted from the daily interac- tion with each other, the gain of mutual respect, and learning to watch for the privacy of others. The closeness ex' tended not only to dorm mates dating but even sparked brother-sister relationships. One dorm, Trimble Hall, initiated a Big and everyone spied, guessed, and await- ed the end of the week. When the identi- ties were revealed, something happened The floors became one big happy fam- ily. Students help each other with home work and personal problems and general- ly interact as siblings.
