Cramped Quarters Still • • . A Touch of dome About 90 percent of all college students lived in a dorm sometime during their college career. Campus living was something everyone locked forward to. for a variety of reasons, when they came to college The most important reason had to do with having freedom from the ‘rents. This year, dorm life was very cramped as nearly every freshman found his home away from home tripled Six people shar mg a suite meant an increase in RU s enrollment as well as an increase in patience. Patience was a necessary prerequisite when it came to sharing a bathroom, sharing closet and drawer space, and sharing wall and floor space Innovated use of lofts and university-supplied furniture allowed each room a more individualized touch. The A-frame and freestanding lofts, along with the typical single lofts were very popular this year Lofts provided the added feature of opening up the floor for other furniture, such as couches, fold-out chairs, and the ever popular entertainment center. Most rooms were not thought to be completely furnished with out a television, stereo, refrigerator, and a phone The drab colored walls were cov- ered with an assortment of posters; pic tures of home, family and friends, flags and tie-dyed tapestries or sheets. The cold, drafty floors were hidden beneath throw rugs or wall to wall carpeting, and plants or fish brought a brighter perspective to that ' look of home. Some students even tried to keep larger pets, like puppies and kittens, in their already filled dorm space. “We had a cat at the beginning of fall semester, but with two other people in the room, it got to be a hassle because it was always knocking stuff over, getting it and me into trouble. said freshmen Shannon Welch. “It's hard to keep a pet in the room, especially an illegal one, when you don't really know what to expect from your roommates The whole living thing starts to grate on everyone's nerves.'' The campus offered a variety of residence hails for students to live in. Each building had a unique living environment. Bolling. Floyd. Tyler, and Muse 10-13 housed only freshmen, which allowed for growth and excitement of first year away at school to run their lives ragged. Females wanting to live without males in thcir building had the choice of Washington, Pocahantas or Stuart Many who chose these buiidings liked the privacy and for the most part, were quieter than co-ed buildings Upperclassmen who returned on cam pus found there were two more dorms that offered co-ed living arrangements be tween the floors Perry went coed by suite and Draper, by sides of fhe hall This arrangement allowed for a different type of male-female relationship to develop, that of a big brother and little sister or vice versa. For those wanting to develop their social life even more. Madison. Jeflerson, Naptime A tied on the Hoot means teas ot a tall to the ground A favorite passhme ot man students is to nap between classes, between soaps, between naps pfk to l.f Ctrohn and Moffett still retained that rockin' dorm reputation. Students who wished a more quiet and subdued life than their peers lived in Ingles; a 24 hour quiet living en vironment. Students who maintained a 2 0 cumulative G P A could apply to live in the posh environment of Norwood The year old renovation still left students in awe Not only in the months of Spring, did residents have the luxury of air condi tioning, but they also had a the luxury ot a single bathroom equipped with a full bath, suitable for soaking during those cold winter months. Norwood may have been nice, but many students overlooked the fact that wc had to pay extra to live there, too. said junior Susie Ritenour Along with each building s different lifestyle, some buildings offered a differ ent design in living. First floor of all build ings had the highest ceilings of all floors, but first floor Muse towered over all. with the highest ceilings on campus Tyler Hall was quite unique from all other buildings with an entirely different floor room de sign The doors of Tyler's quarters pro vided a vent and the room layout did not have a hallway leading into the rooms, like all other dorms As buildings differed in lifestyles and design, it did not come to life without the individual touch of each resident. They turned their “dreary old room of mine into a home Each room took on its own personality which came from those who lived there Each resident gave his or her touch to help make their stay on campus as comfortable as possible . .. these fea tures helped to make RU's dorm life a home away from home.
