22-HOUSING With the rising cost of living, and a shortage of adequate housing close to campus, students applied for rooms in residence halls in record numbers. 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.

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. The convenience and cost was the main attraction of this type of living. One graduate student said, I looked at apartments in the Nita AR Mattmgly area and the prices were too expensive.

,ymqulavqu' 2': ngwm -T Mamn North vs. South campus rivalry The Halloween Bowl is an annual flag football game played between Holmes and Haggin halls. The players are selected all-stars of each dorm's' intramural teams. The arch rivals vie for a coveted whisky barrel, the trophy of victory. Haggin has possessed the trophy for the majority of the time, Holmes having won only once. The losers usually try to steal the bar- rel from the display in the Victor's lobby. This year Holmes stole it, but it was taken back. Haggin won the 1978 Halloween Bowl by a score of 27-8. A fight, which erupted in the fourth quarter, rapidly escalated in a brawl involving both teams. As a result, the game was called in Hagginls favor. -BARTON BRANSCUM Signs were made to fire-up the teams for the annual Halloween Bowl between Haggin and Holmes Halls. Donnie Likins and Terry Goodin from Holmes Hall made a sign th cheer their team on. L 24-HOUSING
