Dorms Are Now Residence Halls Where 1300 out-of-towners stay and sleep and study The U-D dorms? They are no more. This year the U-D began referring to Holden, Reno, and Shiple as Residence Halls. Then the newly formed Residence Hall admin- istration divided Holden, Reno, and Shiple into nine separate Houses Csee next page for namesjg each House has its own officers and has a rep- resentative on the Inter-Residence Hall Council which is the supreme student governing body for the Houses. The purpose of establishing separate Houses was, according to Roderick Shearer, director of Residence Halls, to give each student a closer tie to his fellow residents and to provide more residents opportunities to take part in campus events. Before the House System, the Halls joined to sponsor one Homecoming float. This year, un- der the new system, the Houses sponsored nine. Paul Paule put in another year as business manager. Close to 1300 male out-of-town stu- dents had rooms in the residence halls this year. Most of them took their meals daily in the Stu- dent Union Cafeteria. 20 Carl Osterhoudt takes time out from his books to gaze at a picture of his Carl's a freshman engineer: hails from Lakewood, Ohio. --.,,........w,.,- ,. .-.,,...n,-.., ..,. sw
