Close quarters, and paper thin walls are all a part of dorm life. It's true that personalities sometimes clash when the guy next door wants to study and you want to listen to your stereo. But there is a happy medium, and when that is reached, everyone can live peacefully and have a good time. That's what dorm life's all about.

North Campus prepared their version of a Fall Fling on a September Saturday to help people get acquainted. The afternoon was filled with fun and games For everyone. The games included an egg tossing contest, which turned out to be a bit messy, with some getting the raw end of the deal. Blazer Hall cafeteria contributed to the afternoon's fun by preparing special picnic dinners. One dorm on South Campus helped its residents get acquainted by throwing a watermelon party on the dorm lawn. The only things left behind were seeds, rinds, and tensions of moving into an unfamiliar place. Many dorm activities benefit special charities as well as the students. Boyd Hall's Haunted House raised over $300 this year for the Universities United Way campaign. The event, held Halloween weekend, was coordinated by student volunteers, and the admission was 50 cents. Other special benefits included a Bring Your Own Toy dance held by the Complex Service Committee and UK residence halls. Money and gifts were raised to benefit needy children by charging one dollar or one toy as admission to the Complex dance. The proceeds were sent to the Lexington Orphanage Home for Christmas. The Complex area also sponsors a dance marathon each spring, raising over $5000 each year for Camp KYSOC. a summer camp for handicapped children. Usually there's at least one activity planned for dorm residents every week. Free movies and dances are the most popular events, along with guest speakers and minieconcerts.
