Current plans call for major hall improvements, including telephones in all rooms, hall carpeting, study rooms in some halls, and the completion of other major hall improvements. The installation of hallway and public area carpeting in Scott, Albright-Ben ton, and Reynolds Hall will result in better acoustics and quieter living and study conditions in those halls. Study carrels have been constructed in Reynolds and Helder and are projected for other halls. The University Services Dept., which manages the washer-dryer operations in all nine halls, is also preparing for added improvements in this essential service. It is hoped that new washers and dryers will replace some of the older machines and plans are already underway to improve the maintenance service to all machines. Chat Sue, director of housing, summarized that "if all these projects can be completed before next fall, student satisfaction with the residence halls at WCU would increase greatly. Our hails will be much less impersonal, and students would feel more at home than they currently do." An interview with Chat HALL OFF- Q. DO THE GRADES OF RESIDENCE STUDENTS COMPARE POORLY WITH CAMPUS STUDENTS? A. "No. The grades of single students, from freshmen to seniors, living in the residence halls are the same as for those living off-campus. This was determined by comparing the fall semester QPR's for off-campus students attending the Cullowhee campus to residence hall occupants in our nine halls. This comparative study was done by the Computer Center for the Housing Office this February." Q: WHAT IS THE PHILOSOPHICAL BASIS UPON WHICH UNIVERSITY HOUSING IS RUN AT WCU? A: "University Housing exists to complement the academic aspects of Western Carolina University. We are not simply a "Howard Johnson" motel operation; rather, we try to assist in the development of resident students in their life outside the classroom through staff and programs. We also try to treat the students as adult consumers, as opposed to taking a paternalistic approach. We are also striving to make residence halls more conducive to living and studying. That's why we're adding study carrels, hall carpeting, room telephones, and new washers and dryers. Unfortunately, there's only so much we can do to make large, high-rise buildings seem like home. All In all, Housing could probably have a smaller budget if we ran a "Howard Johnson" operation. However, we can achieve much more taking the approach we do." ^Special interest floors created A major change in University Housing next semester involves the creation of several "special interest" floors and units in the Residence Halls. These were established to meet expressed needs of residents as well as to offer alternatives to those students wishing to live in University Housing. The two major changes have been Freshman living units |on the fourth and fifth Adjacent 18 Hole Golf Course Recommended by Mob>. Travel Viennese-AmericsnCuisine Guide, Gourmet, Etc.

The Freshman living units (or Freshman Centers) are being created in order to offer incoming freshmen a larger vareity of programs and extra support as they begin their college experience. The goals include meeting the needs unique to students during their initial year in college and providing supportive services and programs within the following areas: community development, academic acclimatization, personal growth and social and recreational experiences. The floors will be staffed with RA's interested and specially prepared to work with freshmen while the programs will be designed to expose freshmen to all areas of college life. The Quiet Floors were chosen in order to meet the requests of students who wished to live in the halls but needed a quieter place to study. The following floors will be designated as Quiet: Helder 4th West, Buchanan 2nd North, Scott 6th West, Reynolds 3rd South, and Leatherwood 4th South. Housing is involved at WCU Summer During the summer, University Housing is involved with a diversified group of individuals. Housing offers its services not only to regular summer school students but also to university related conference groups. Regular summer school students are housed in Albright-Benton (undergraduate males), Harrill (un- graduate females), and Reynolds (graduate and married students). The services offered to these students are similar to those offered during the regular school year. AH students who plan to attend Summer School are urged to come to the Housing Office as early as possible and make arrangements for housing if they plan to live in a University residence hall. A ten dollar room reservation deposit is required for each application. For further information concerning summer school
