There's no place li r East Green maintains homey A bright orange frisbee slices the cool fall breeze. Accumulating leaves crunch under the feet of passers-by. A young man seated in the grass strums a guitar. An oak tree shows off its painted leaves as a squirrel gathers acorns at its feet. If this all sounds a bit too homey for a large university, it is in reality only a sampling of the environ- ment found on the East Green. The East Green consists of thir- teen residence halls and is the ol- dest residential area on campus. Six of the dormitories house freshmen, two are international houses, and five are home to upperclassmen who have chosen this green over the other two. johnson Hall resident, Toni Crouse, lived in jefferson Hall last year and decided to stay on the East Green. I chose the East Green for its homey atmosphere, said Crouse. The South Green is too far away. The West Green is too plain. Here we have trees and a winding street which makes it seem more like home. Echoing these thoughts, Doug Maurer of Gamertsfelder Hall, said, It's Home! The East Green is his choice because it's closest to everything. It's not as wild - more civilized. Another Gamertsfelcler resident, Tim Harrison, has been living on the East Green for three years. Har- ke home atmosphere rison likes being close to the laun- dry facilities, and he adds, I think it has a better atmosphere. I like the people. When Bush Resident Assistant Diane Havranek was asked why she chose the East Green as her home, she said Why not? I wouldn't live anywhere else. The West is all cement and flat. And the South Green, Havranek joked, is the R.A. retirement home. There's not much for an R.A. to do there. Besides, I like to work with fresh- men. Also, when all of the Univer- sity's dorms are rated academically, more of the East Green's dorms place higher than those on the oth- er two greens. Brenda Lemon -uw 1 I c fs-, ., Becky Cray

West Green offers variety The Wild West, Oktober- west, 'May West, The West Green. lt's the home of 1800 people coming from all over the country to get an education. They bring their personal possessions and their very own originality. A few years ago, college officials attempted to discontinue the use of West Green dorms as housing fa- cilities. However, O.U. enrollment increased and the West Green not only opened but expanded. It now consists of james Hall for the freshmen guys. Both freshmen and upperclassmen reside in Crook Hall. Two upperclass coed dorms, Ryors Hall and Sargent Hall, are also located on the West Green. There are two freshmen girls dorms on the West Green, Wilson and Treudley. The green cafeteria is located in Boyd Hall, a male and female graduate students dormi- tory. Boyd Hall is also famous for its Boyd Beach. During the spring sunbathers flock to the beach to start their summer tans. However, the most impressive building on the West Green is Ir- vine Hall. Completed only last year, Irvine Hall is used for classes in osteopathic medicine. The rooms are decorated with carpets, panel- ing and chandeliers. In addition to the variety of stu- dents and the cluster of buildings, the West Green is also responsible for some memorable weekends. May West, held in the spring, along with the Locolympics, pro- vides West Green students with plenty of new friendships, games and beer. 4 s..:' - .k . . . - ,,,, Louise Clvbulski ,. W.
