Since the opening, workmen have completed carpet ing, connecting telephones, hang ing curtains, installing food ma chines andl laundry facilities and furnishing the studies. On Oct. 9, the first-floor cafe teria opened and work on the re volving restaurant is nearing comn plet ion. Capstone has not been without other inconveniences. "You have kinda cut yourself off from the Russell House andl student centers, one coed remarked. Capstone is located two blocks from the main camp)us. Parking is another crit ical problem, but not one unique to Capstone. In the area of dlorm govern ment, Angela Shahid, Capstone president, and B e t s y Emnmons have noted difficulty in communi cation. "That is going to be the biggest problem," Miss Emmons comnmented. "And having no cur fews is no help as far as hall meetings are concerned." Residents have adopted a con stitution similar to those of other women's residlence halls andl hall elections hav'e been held. Residents of Capstone have some things to complain about, and they do, only to conclude with ". . . but its worth it."
