Todd Thompson, Brian Miller and friend do it the easy way when mov- ing their refrigerator into Sherrouse Hall. Instead of taking the stairs, they used ropes and belts to hoist the refrigerator to the second floor. One of the drudgeries of living on campus is having to do your own : laundry.

Dorm sweet dorm Moving into the dorm takes several trips back and forth to the car.

Students around campus responded with varying answers but the most popular advantage was being able to keep up with ex- tracurricular activities. Lisa Bird, Bossier City sophomore said “Most of my friends live on campus. This makes it easier for us to get together and keep in touch with each other.” Not having to cook was also a popular response. The only disadvantage giv- en was that the dorms are sometimes too noisy when you're trying to study or sleep. One solution given for this problem would be to have separate dorms or halls for upper and lower classmen. One student said, “I think upper and lower classmen should have separate dorms and the rule of only upper classmen in certain dorms should be enforced. Lower classmen shouldn’t be able to get in this dorm no matter who they know or how much money they have.” Students deciding to reside on campus have their choice of 13 residence halls. Men may reside in Olin, Sher- rouse, or the athletic dorms, Harris and Breard. Women have the choice of Cosper, Le- mert, Madison, Masur, Mon- roe, Nicholson, the Panhel- linic dorm, Cuachita, and Slater. Hudson Hall is the only coed dorm on campus. Of the women’s dorms, six are “inside” dorms, meaning the rooms are located in an inside corridor. All other dorms except for athletic resi- dence halls are outside dorms. The main advantage given by students living in an outside dorm is everyday visitation, not just on the weekends. An- other advantage was, “You don’t have to go down a long hall to get to the front door.” One student said, “living in an inside dorm gives you the feeling of being closed in like in a hospital.” The main advantage of an inside dorm is security. As the majority of the 3,518 on-campus students will agree, the advantages of liv- ing on campus outweigh the disadvantages -by Brenda Brinkley
