Barbara Kennedy, Lewis Hall coed, leaves the dorm to begin her morning classes. There are four girls’ dormitories on the A I campus. These dorms provide the coed with many luxuries and conveniences during her college career. Being a home away from home, the dorms help the student to adjust to campus life. Study rooms, lounges, and kitchenettes are just a few of the facilities contained in each building Three of the dorms are air-conditioned and centrally heated. A set of rules and regulations are furnished by the As- sociation of Women Students. Approximately 500 girls live in these residence halls. The dormitories provide several social activities each year An annual picnic is held at the beginning of the fall se- mester. This is to help the girls become acquainted with others living in the dorms. There is also a Christmas party and open house sponsored by each dorm for its residents. These all contribute to the friendly and congenial atmosphere desirable in dorm life. LIFE IN THE The lounge in Lewis Hall is frequently visited by its residents.

Johnny Terry (r) and Bob Wells (J) work in the ag mechanics shop. Chemistry major David Crawford performs an experiment for Chemistry 409, A group of A l students were sitting in the Tejas room one evening. Remarked one student, “I wish there was some- thing to do on this campus! When the sun goes down, this places goes to sleep. Nothing happens around here at night.” “Tom’s right,” said another student. “Nothing goes on around here—unless you count football games, basketball games, church groups, discussion groups, free movies, club meetings, parties, and dances.” A co-ed chimed in, “There is even more than that happen- ing. I’ve been over in the library working on a research paper and the place is crowded! Coming over here 1 met a couple of friends who told me they were headed for classes. They claim there are about 25 classes being taught at night, not counting the labs.” “Come to think of it,” admitted Tom, who had started! the whole discussion, “as I was coming over here tonight, I saw lights on in the science building. Somebody must be working in one of the chemistry or biology labs. I know people work in the darkroom most evenings during the week. And I could hear music coming from the music building, so I guess kids are over there practicing.” “Another concert is being given next Tuesday, so 1 guess the music majors are getting prepared,” commented the coed. “Well, gang, I’ve got to be going. I need to finish up a project in the Ag mechanics shop tonight!” said one of the boys as he stood up. Watching his friends disappear into the evening, Tom shook his head. “There is a lot more going on around this college at night than I thought!”
