What happens if the actual number of reser- Saturday night, from 8 to 12 p.m., at the West- vation cancellations and transfer students doesn't equal Dean C. Wray .Mowbray's prediction? As in previous years, it means doubling up in the men's dorms, and, for eleven men students this semester, residence at 199 Pennsylvania Avenue. According to Dean Mowbray, out of 570 male students this year. 498are residents as compared with last year's figures of about 535 and 478, respectively. The overflow came because this year the cancellation rate was less. Additionally, a high number of roomers were set up, residence halls had to be set up in July, cancellations oc- curred. and some summer-February students were let in. To accommodate this situation, two students were placed in McLca Lounge, four students were put in each of the fourth floor corner suites in McLca and ANW, and eleven students overflowed into the Pennsylvania Avenue house. In an interview, Dean Mowbray talked about the living situations created. lie explained that, although used previously as triples, the four suites were originally planned for four residents, admittedly not ideal accommodations. He noted that the Pennsylvania Avenue house had been used in previous years except the last one, and that its present residents are all summer-· February students and therefore were not guaranteed residence this semester. The Dean would prefer placing students in dorms rather than perimeter campus housing, because he feels they are closer to events on campus, have more chance to meet other students, are more involved in campus life, and have more spon-." taneous activity. . .. I\t least two of the Pennsylvania Avenue' residents. freshman Steve Campbell and' sophomore transfer Tim Kernan, enjoy their living arrangements. They explained that the house really isn't "off-campus," but backs into the golf course, next 'to the clubhouse, Both are on the football team, and said that, plus eating in the cafeteria, has helped them meet new people. They do not want to move into a dorm next semester, although they are considering it for the following year. Neither would want to live off-campus, however, "In a small school like this, anything that goes on, goes on on campus, whereas, at a big school, alot of people like to live off-campus because it's really the town where alot of things go on," said Steve, and Tim agreed. "In that situation you'd not be with a group of people you know. Like everybody at the house was at summer school, and we Know them already, so-we get along pretty well together." Both seemed to feel they were involved in campus life. Their resident assistant, Ted Tupper, agreed. He felt the eleven will form closer-bonds than they would have in a dorm. He personally likes the change from three years in Rouzer Hall, and WOUld,on the basis of his experiences, consider living off-campus if he had another year here. "After awhile, the people in a dorm start getting to you." Like the two residents, he felt living in the house was not a detriment to campus ad- justment, or to meeting people and getting in- volved ~m campus. "I'
