Webster and South Halls are the older complexes on campus. It is made up of rooms that house two people each. As with any place, residence hall living has to be made more com¬ fortable. The taste in decor has a wide range as seen in the accompanying pictures. There are neat and simple rooms, neat and complicated rooms and ones where the floor is hard to lo¬ cate because the occupant doesn’t pick anything up and can’t find anything. Dorm living can be tough for those who have never shared before. It takes some time to adjust. There are many activities that go along with dorm living. People style hair in the halls, finish canoes in rooms, sew, listen to problems, and much more. Top Left: bedroom in South Hall. Top Right: outside of South Hall. Center: bedroom in Webster Hall.

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.
