Dance couples who participat¬ ed in the event collected pledges as to the number of hours they completed. The event lasted from 9:00 a.m. on Satur¬ day to 9:00 p.m. on Sunday. Couples were provided with food and drink and raised several thousand dollars for Muscu¬ lar Dystrophy. Much of the success was due to the Kappa Al¬ pha organization. 23

RESIDENCE HALLS EXPAND Living on campus has always been part of student life here at Southern. It becomes an even bigger operation with the construction of the five new two-story residence halls. The halls are co-ed with the exception of Hall B (all women) and Hall C (all men) and with up to five people housed in the apartment-like units. This year it was only necessary to house four people per unit. The apartments contain a large livingroom (two chairs, sofa, two end-ta¬ bles, and a coffe-table) a corner partition (a fu¬ ture kitchen) and a bath. Every unit has its own mailing address and the road is Sarcoxie Trail. Each residence hall has a Student Assistant that is available at all times. Hall B contains the recreation and laundry rooms for the new residence students. Top left: new residence hall bedroom. Right: Webster Hall bedroom. Center: new residence hall livingroom.
