College offices are housed in Hill Building which is the oldest structure on the campus. Jeff Habegger. a freshman management major, believes that the youthful age of the college is a strong attribute. Jeff believes that the highly experienced faculty members leach students to learn what you can in the classroom, and then go out into the world and go after it! According to Dean Clyde Painter. the growth of the college has been impressive. All faculty members pre viously were members of tlu . Depart - menI of Business and tconomics. be fore that department was officially es tablished as a college.“ The college also serves many students from other academic disciplines.

' it is so risky applying’ I’m glad I ' m in the prelaw program because it makes you feel much more secure to know that you are guar¬ anteed a place in at least one law school. The prelaw program can help relieve much of the anxiety associat¬ ed with gaining admission to a law school, as the above comment by senior psychology, sociology, and prelaw major Tom Tompkins illustrates. Undergraduates who elect to complete the 36 quarter hours of the ' prelaw core and maintain an overall grade point average of 3.3 are automatically admitted to the Pettit CoMege of Law. 4s Tom Tompkins said. I think it is a good pro¬ gram because it is so risky applying to other places. In another matter related to the College of Law. in the fall of 1980plans were announced for tin ' expansion of the Tilton Hall of Law. The 16.800square feet addition will nearly double the capacity of the law library. Other features of the expanded library will include study car rels and increased storage space. In addition to the expanded library, the proposed addition will have rooms for student organizations and a conference room which will be open 34 hours a day.

' get to know other people ’ University housing continues to be the dominant form of housing for university students, according to the Office of Resi¬ dent Life. Approximately 59.8percent of the student population resided in unner sity housing during the 1980-81 academic year. The term university housing re ters to the university dormatories. the fraternity houses, and the sororitv houses. However, of the more than I5CV students living in university housing, more than 80 percent live in one of the eight major dorms. Clearly, dorm life touches a great number of Chill students. Maria Parekh. a resident assistant R4) in Clark Hall, enjoys living in a dorm, r.irt of her enjoyment comes from organizing speeial events for others in the hall, for example, during the Christmas season. Maria .?m Richann«’Cunningham dressed as elves so that the girls could select the names of their kriss kringles tor the gift exchange. Hut. Maria said that her mam reason for being an RA and. therefore living in the dorm, was to get to know other people. The faet that only eleven percent ot the student body lives in a fraternity or sorority house can be deceptive. Many students are members of a Creek soeial organization but are living in one of the dorms. During Creek Week, it was evi¬ dent that many students were affiliated with a Creek house. Judging from the large turnout at the 8ig Olympics on April II. several CMU students may have found a way to enjoy the best of Creek and dorm life. ■John Hughes
