fXaSMmk U-Haul it When the freshmen returned to campus on Sunday after- noon they found it alive with activity. The process of moving in was on for another semester. Stereos topped the list of necessities. Televisions, radios, posters and plants were also popular items. Anything to brighten the walls and give the stark dorm rooms some per- sonality-after all that was to be home for the next nine months Mixed with the enthusiam of seeing old friends for the first time in months were the necessary annoyances of beginning a new year. The lines for fee payment during the first few days of the semester seemed even longer the previous year. Drop- add was renamed add-drop, supposedly to give it a more pos- itive connotation. But renaming it didn't eliminate the red tape involved in adding or dropping a class. By the middle of the week almost everyone was looking forward to a long Labor Day weekend at home-a chance to get all the things that were forgotten and to recount the details of the week to family and friends.

The waiting list for residence halls included over 1500 students desiring on-Campus housing for the fall semester. The capacity for undergraduates is 4742. There was a great attraction for this convenient lifestyle. Mark Schmitz, a preemed junior had to wait for two months for a room on campus, Schmitz didn't apply for housing until late and suffered the consequence of not having a room when he returned to Campus in August The advantage of living on campus was best said by Adele Cox, a sophomore majoring in accounting. IFS easier to adapt to the University because you get to know the people On your hail. She added, It's easier to get to class when the weather is bad. Privacy can be a problem in the residence halls. Elaine Messinger. a Bianding Tower resident, said, There is a lack of privacy because of the community bathrooms and paper-thin walls It's hard to study when there's a test the next day and the people next door are being rowdy. Residence halls have their own form of government which plans activities and schedules different events of interest. Programming committees function on both north and south campus.South campus had a Crz'nsti dance that included an Olivia Newtonrlohn and John Travolta look-alike contest, They also had a Halloween dance with the Iim Taylor Disco Show to provide the musit: North campus sponsored the Boyd Hall Haunted House and mini- concerts in the courtyard ranged From bluegrass t0 jant As Marty Haas, a biology major from Holmes Hall, said, There's always something going on, so many people to meet; I love it The residence halls pruvide special facilities for leisure activities. l- Students of each hail have available laundry rooms, kitchens, vending machines, TV moms, pianos, and recreational equipment. A healthy afternoon can be spent in the courtyard or on the basketball couurts using footballs, frisbecs, basketballs and other sports equipment that is available in most halls. Married and graduate housing cut the cost of living for those on a budget. Cooperstown is only five minutes away From campus by the shuttle bus.

I was used to living in dorms, so I don't mind living in graduate housing She said she doesnit mind her small efficiency apartment and that One advantage is that there is less Cleaning. -BAR TON BRANSCUM and -IONI DUSCH Campus living can be very hectic with little time for clean-up for Susan Brinkley, a sophomore in business.
