Dorm System Benefits Men The residence halls are an integral part of life at U-D. One thousand men in Holden, Reno, and Shiple Halls govern themselves and sponsor activities through the house system which divides the halls into separate two-floor units. Each house has its own program of aca- demic, religious, and social activities. The men elect their own officers and conduct their busi- ness just like any other campus organization. Da Vinci House is composed of one-half of the engineering students in Reno Hall. The primary purpose of the organization is to expose the student to extra-curricular activities. These activities are both academic and social. Through them the members assist the' University. The House also sponsors a series of mixers .during the year and takes part in the Spring Carnival and in Parent's Weekend.

Resident Students Active on Campus With its nine-house arrangement, Reno, Holden, and Shiple Halls have participated in a great number of campus religious and social activities this year. The house system certainly has increased the resi- dent student's chance to take part in these activities, since the system is based on the fact that a smaller, close knit unit is a. better working force than a larger group. These individual houses have sponsored dances, charity affairs, candidates for Homecoming, and have built booths at the Carnival and floats for Homecoming. These, with count- less others, are fmits ofthe houses, efforts. is comprised of the residents of the third floor of Holden Hall.
