the living end By Mary Bolin HOUSING-9 Funny things happen...like when a guy from downstairs came up to study and caught one of us walking down the hall wrapped in just a towel. She was a little embarrassed, and the guy just thought that it was funny,” said sophomore Beth Dobbling, one of309 residents of Keeneland Hall. She added, We’re all just buddies. Sometimes I feel like Vm living at home again. ” Bernie Bissmeyer, a resident advisor in now- coed Keeneland Hall, spoke of his experience in this type of residence hall as more of a natural environment for people to get along with and live with each other. There seems to be a little more respect for each other in a coed dorm. ” Another Keeneland resident, Penny Otto, liked the idea of coed living and chose Keeneland instead of Blanding I or II because she likes the atmosphere on North campus better. Otto explained, IPs smaller and you know more people. The only bad part is the absence of comforts like carpet and air conditioning” continued on page 10 Taking advantage of the October sunshine, Cheri Hamilton, a freshman pre-med student, studies for an exam in the North cam- pus courtyard.

the living end These two students seem to jit a generalization that one North campus RA made. It seems that fewer students apply to live on North campus, but once they live here, they tend to stay because of the friendly atmosphere. ” Of the 22,750 students enrolled at UK and LTI, over 5,400 chose to live in campus residence halls. Students listed cost, convenience, and general lifestyle as the factors affecting their choice of residence. Lexingtonian Mona Wilson lived at home her freshman and sophomore years because sorority membership offered campus involvement and the chance to meet new people. After two years of commuting to campus each day, she moved into the Kappa Delta house and was pleased with the proximity to classes and the fact that there were always people to do things with, to talk to.” It was study-oriented but fun, ” said Caren Cunningham of her semester as a resident of the Tri-Delta house. But, she lamented, No more roadtrips for Cunningham,” as she explained how her lifestyle changed when she became an RA at Donovan Hall during spring semester. She was allowed only five nights away each semester and spent several hours each week at the main desk. In exchange, she received room and board and the opportunity for a lifestyle shared by few others. It's completely different, ” she explained. Instead of being crazy, I have to enforce rules and constantly remind the girls to be quiet. You learn how to handle various situations and deal with people. It's really fun, but certainly not for everyone. It's an experience.” Life in the Wildcat Lodge was described similarly by twins Jeff and Wes Tipton of Corbin. It's disciplined; not everyone would like it,” said Wes. The fact that it's quiet makes it great for studying. ” He continued, The players are awfully friendly. As far as that goes, everyone on this side of campus seems to be friendlier. And there's plenty to do with the Coliseum open for running and Alumni Gym right across the street. I think this is the ideal place to live.” Living in Holmes Hall his freshman year convinced senior Glen Fanelli that North campus was NOT the ideal place to live—at least for him. The girls weren ’t good-looking over there and everything was sort of drab and old,” he said with a laugh. But living in Blanding Tower my sophomore and junior years was great. The social life was better, the girls looked good, and we were close to Seaton. Since I was playing tennis then (for UK), I liked being near the courts and the other athletes.” As a non-scholarship member of the Wildcat football team, Brad Adams was not required to live with the other athletes in Kir wan I and chose to live in Kirwan Tower. Although Adams enjoyed life at the Complex, he was eager to move into the Greg Page Stadium View Apartments on Commonwealth Drive. The Tower was fun and the location was good, but these new apartments are great because they cost about the same as the dorms, but offer more freedom and the chance to be more on your own. And privacy exists even though four of us live together. ” Privacy was the most common reason students gave for becoming apartment- dwellers. I hate communal bathrooms,” said Terry Keys, a sophomore who lived in an apartment continued on page 72 When the last pair of clean socks is gone and the closet is empty, it’s time for the inevitable chore—laundry.
