Q Sue Graber and Judy Brown, sophomores, make up for some of the inconveniences of dorm liv- ing by fixing drinks to go with their cake. aware Study time is important to the boys of Elland Hall as shown by Mark Whitley: his room is typical of the boys dorm. A deserted Kent Hall coed plays a game of solitaire in her free time. On-Campus Housing Students learn to live together After two years of being over-crowded in dorm housing the new hall of Kent Hall was finally completed. The new hall made living conditions more comfortable for the girls who had once squeezed three girls into a room. Even with the improved living conditions, students of Kent Hall, Elland Hall and Davis Hall still had to adjust to the dorm life. Dorm living teaches the residents to live together. They share facilities with their dorm mates, including, show- ers, laundry rooms, lobbies and study rooms. The dorm provides an excellent place for the residents to meet many people and gain experience from working together. The dorms earned recognition in the fall with a Homecoming queen finalist, Freda Toole, and placing in the float competition. Members of the dorms were in- volved in many campus activities including, intramural football, volleyball and basketball. Dorm residents learn the responsibility of following rules, such as making beds, cleaning rooms and meeting the curfews. Elland, Kent and Davis Halls all have curfews of 12 midnight on school nights and 1:30 in the morning on Friday and Saturday nights. Occasionally as a break from study the students become involved in a water fight or shaving creme fight, which usually results in a rather messy floor. The dorms also observed the Christmas season by decorating the lobbies and the students decorated their own personal rooms. 12
