Good Or Bad? SHOULD I OR SHOULDN’T I! Having a game in the quad, Jane Cleveland decides whether she really wants to throw the ball. There was a controversy on campus— some said it was the best, others said it was the worst. On one hand, living on campus was great for getting involved in organizations, getting to know people, and getting up five minutes before class. Those who said it was the best, found that the convenience of being right on campus left extra time to devote to school and other activities that might be consumed by commuting to and from school, finding a parking place and other hassles associated with living off campus. “Living off campus was a drag because I never had time to participate and meet people. I was always on the road,’’ proclaimed Teresa Peters, fourth floor R A in Chester Hall. Another advantage of dorm life was the variety of people one could meet just from casual contact around campus. Kathy Mears of Dogwood Village commented, “I could never have met half the people I did if I lived off campus.” This seemed to be the general consensus among on-campus residents. Indeed, dorms had Residence Hall Councils which attempted to make dorm life both more pleasant and more fun. The Twin Towers RHC organized movies, picnics, and other activities for residents. And, in various dorms, the Rommate Game was played However, dorms also had rules and regulations that were confining. As Paul Wilson of the fifth floor in Chester Hall said, “The older or more mature people are limited because of the misfits who ruin it for all of us.” Additional complaints, similar to that of Angie Cheek, came in the fall when many lounges were filled with the overflow of tenants and rooms became triples. Those who said it was the worst found that peace and quiet were pleasures of living off campus. Ray lllian strongly agreed with this statement. “I enjoy the privacy of off campus living. No people yelling down the halls, or noisy neighbors . . . ” he commented. Those who lived off campus also enjoyed freedom from dorm rules. “You can drink, listen to music loud, and not worry about room inspection!” exclaimed Luke Brown, a former resident of Dogwood Village. It appears that the controversy may never be settled. YOU ARE SO FUNNY says Justine Johnson to Chris Love. WHO ARE THOSE GIRLS!
