' 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.

Maria said that her mam reason for being an RA and. therefore living in the dorm, was to get to know other people.

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

The University Reli¬ gious Association Council with its presi¬ dent, Sue Werner, help to coordinate the groups ' activities and offer an opportuni¬ ty for exchange of ideas.
