Paule, di- O rector of student housing, is in charge of the general ad- g ministration of the eleven houses in the dorms. . Government in the residence halls is based on the house system. A house is comprised of the residents of one or two floors within a dorm. Each of the eleven houses elects officers to represent them. The president and vice president of each house are automatically members 'Q 1 1.

Residents involved in varied activities Much of the activity on campus centers around the three buildings located south of the main part of the McNichols campus- Reno, Shiple and Holden Halls. ln addition to actively participa- ting in Homecoming, Spring Carnival, and other campus events, the dorms also sponsor activities which are strictly for resident students. Each house in the dorms fields an intramural team in as many as four- teen dilferent sports, Both house and organization teams compete to gain the coveted All Sports Trophy, given to the team which wins the most championships in one year. At Christmas time, the Inter- Residence Hall Council sponsors a contest for the best decorated window in each of the dorms. Once a year, usually in the spring, all of the parents are invited to come and spend the weekend to see the University. Each of the houses spon- sor special activities in conjunction with this Parents' Weekend. In addition, there are parties, pic- nics, mixers, open houses, and trips to sports events sponsored by the re- sident students. Life in the dorms is not all social, however, Most houses have some sort of tutoring system or study program for their members, and Regency Heights and Claver Houses give spe- cial scholarship awards to those who attain the highest averages. Religiously, the members of each house are free to participate in special retreats, Forty Hours and First Friday Vigils as well as Mass, confessions, and rosary, which are held daily.
