One main objective arose from this task — to get the belongings in without making a large number of trips. For this purpose, each one tended to bring along a friend or a set of parents.

It was still necessary, however, for some to live on the old campus again this year, at least for a while. Fifteen married couples lived in the new complex in the fall. The requirement for application to live in married housing is that either the husband or the wi fe must be a student enrolled at Union.
