Men's Residence Halls

because the student life in the halls is intimate. The residents of a Hall not only have good opportunities for serious study; they also hold formal and informal dances, have coke dates, exchange parties, open house affairs, and participate in inter-group athletics, religious events, and student government activities. There are also some privately-run permanent residence halls at the University which take care of 500 men and 120 women students. If you are a man, you can get both room and board at two of the three private men's residence halls. If you are a woman, you can arrange for room and board in either of the two private women's residence halls. If you want to try to get into any of the privately-run residence halls write to or see the following:

The permanent University-owned Residence Halls can accommodate 486 men students and 907 women students. If you are one of these, you rent space by the semester, and you have to eat your meals in the Residence Halls. You are given preference in the assignment of quarters if you have lived in the Halls during a previous semester. It is possible for you to be assigned a room by yourself, with one roommate, or with two roommates. In this room you do your studying, bull-sessioning, and sleeping. Your room will have in it study desks, bookcases, chairs, mirrors, dressers or chests, wastebaskets, study lamps, window curtains, and lounge chairs. You are supposed to bring your own bedspread, towels, washcloths, blankets, and dresser scarfs. Every day, except Sunday, employees of the University clean the rooms. And there are special rooms in which you can do your personal laundry, pressing, and drying. You'll eat your meals in a large attractive dining room where all residents are served at the same time. You get a good chance to form new acquaintances in a Residence Hall, because the group living there is so large, and
