Pep rallies are also held on West Green since it's located close to Pe- den Stadium. The West Greens lo- cation is ideal because it's so close to the Convo and uptown. Unlike East Green and New South, stu- dents don't have to hike steep hills and don't have many problems re- turning home at night. Most students enjoy the West Green because of its ideal location and larger rooms. The green itself is smaller allowing closer student relationships. The West Green is not only a place for the OU. jocks but it's a home away from home for many students who con- tribute their own personalities to the large variety of people who teach, work and learn at Ohio Uni- versity, Bclsy Lippy Left - O.U. is nol .1 party school.

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.

Q- Southern Comfort South Green living - Catwalks, mods and partying One of four greens on campus, the south Green, manages to retain an air of tranquility despite the fact it has acquired the party green reputation. l like the South Green the best, one photography major said. It's the prettiest of all the others . . . It doesn't even seem a part of the oth- er greens. l guess the railroad keeps us secluded. a sophomore said. Many open spaces and new buildings make South Green unique. Catwalks extending one story above ground level provide excellent access to the dorms and give the dorms a pleasing look. Another South Green character- istic is the opportunity to live in mods. Constructed in a manner which allows one to experience the privacy of living in a single or dou- ble, the mods retain community life. Six rooms are grouped togeth- er, and are connected by two living rooms. I like living with six guys and six girls and having two rooms to party in, one student said. Other people said the mods enabled them to develop intimacy among their peers. I like its location. The College Green is too stuck up. The West Green too far away, and the East Green, well it's the East Green. Here on the South we're close to everything, said a young man be- tween frisbee throws. A junior who recently moved from the East Green said she preferred the south. Living in a mod is more on your own. lt's almost like living in an apartment. One mod resident best summed it up. What do l like best about the South?, he asked. Everything . . . it's the best green on campus. Treva Ballon ' t. L r . A 'L-.. nh 521.1 I C lg' Q L 4 'L Q M I S-.. D.: vid A. DeNnma
