Students living on campus are more satisfied with their university experience, become more comfortable in the university envi- ronment and are more likely to utilize the services provided for students. Through this feeling of connection to the university, students have a greater opportunity to participate in social, educational and recre- ational programs and activities designed to further their personal, scholastic and social development. Furthermore, residence hall student gov- ernment organizations provide a variety of activities and opportunities for students to become involved in developing their own com- munity within the University. In the past, residence hall activities have been as varied as the individual residents, and the staff members or students who plan and participate in them. Residence halls remain the student-focused activity centers where the exchange and shar- ing of ideas, experiences and interests among colleagues is commonplace.

L e oe OH ke e cOch i ken tfou a e Mt For many students, the end of spring quarter means a long, school-free summer ahead of them. With final exams behind them, they return home and often do not give much thought to what is happening in Athens. However, not all students get an extended break. Some decide to stay for summer quarter. Whv would anyone choose to attend school during the hot summer months? Students often discover that they must attend summer classes somewhere if they are to graduate in four years. For many majors, taking 1 5 hours a quarter for 1 2 quarters simply will not be enough to graduate on time. Rather than overload one quarter, students sometimes find it easier to give up one summer to classes. Other students like the smaller classes and the smaller number of people on campus. Other students would just rather stay in Athens than go home. Whatever the reason for staying, life on campus during the summer is quite different. First of all, ten hours is considered a full load instead of the usual 15. Next, the quarter is only 7 1 2 weeks long. As a result, class periods are extended. For example, a class that would normally meet for two hours would last for three hours in the summer. Another big dillerence is that students can either attend classes for the entire term (7 1 2 weeks) or for half of the term. While this translates into all of the credit in half the time it also means that students are faced with midterms only two weeks after the start of the quarterl Students who remain in school during the summer will also discover that this is the time the university does a lot of construction work. This summer, work was completed on the east campus parking deck, SPACenter, the bike paths and the performing and visual arts complex. Students may also find some younger faces roaming around campus. Each summer, the university hosts many camps for high school and junior high school students. Students would often see many tumbling cheerleaders practicing outside the Coli- seum each afternoon, or basketball players who were a little shorter than they were used to seeing. Other younger faces belonged to future freshmen. Toward the end of the summer, groups of orientation-goers carrying their UGA folders could be seen touring the camptis. Finally, students who left for the summer missed out on many exciting, if not frightening events. Unfortunately, criminals did not take the summer off Athens made the evening news all over the state as a disturbing three rapes occurred in one summer weekend. Also, few students missed the chaos that broke loose on campus the day the business school caught fire. Clearly, students who decided to not to go home did not miss their share of summer excitement.
