Mf Residential Living Throughout the years, students living in campus housing have pro- fessed to do so for one of two rea- sons: that either the convenience or the established friendships outweighted the problems of the residence halls. But recent changes and renova- tions have made living on campus just a litle bit nicer. For the first time at Tulane an experimental hall program was started. Residents in one floor of Warren House and two floors of Sharp, planned, painted, and select- ed carpeting for their living areas. Residents on a floor in Butler en- circled their hall with a graphic. Students were allowed to paint mu- rals in their rooms, and build lofts. In many cases, once permission was granted, it was anything goes ! And in a move that affected even more residents, the Newcomb and Tulane Resident Councils were again made stronger, and began participating jointly in projects. Pressure was taken off the resident advisors as house councils took a more active part in programming. An even more visible change was the start of maintenance that had been long-planned by the Depart- ment of Residential Life. Furniture in Josephine Louise House was re- finished, many residence halls re- ceived new lounge furniture, rooms got new blinds and furniture, and painting programs were begun. Living in a dorm still was not like home, but it was on its way. — Linda Franke Department of Residential Life Women ' s dorm bathrooms are especially crowded be- fore 9:00 a.m. classes and before Friday and Saturday night dates. Painting the 8th floor wall of Butler Hall was part of the Residential Life Department ' s Experimental Hall program. Sunbathing on Irby ' s second floor balcony is a favorite spring semester pastime. i »i. - ■ mfj . f ' ' • 14 presidential Living i. r, V
