All of these organizations have houses, some holding as many as 50 people at a time The best thing about this type of housing is that someone does the work for you. Most of the houses have a cook, or the members take turns preparing meals. Either way. you get reasonably good food (especially if you used to eat in the dorms), and you don't have to cook. Many of the sorority houses even have cleaning help, so all you have to do is keep your own room straight. The only drawback is that there ore usually more people than places, and that leaves Clifton Apartments College housing is always a unique experience, especially since it is probably the first time away from home for many freshman. For this reason, out-of-state freshman are requried to live in dorms.

This win incorporate an indoor arena for basketball, concerts and other events, as well as a new bookstore. This will be a great boom to students. Basketball games win be on-campus, which should increase attendance, and hopefully a bigger bookstore will help eliminate the crowded aisles and long lines often found at the current bookstore. Completed during the past fail was the new business school and sorely needed garage. Not only will the College of Business have more room for classes and activities, but the parking garage garage will help aussage the parking problems faced by our large number of commuter students. As always, construction at UC is IN THE SPOTLIGHT 14 Matthew Bon
