fwumen d nuusmg By LIZ CANNIFF SUH Writer Residents complain about housing, and Residential Life Services complains about the residents. Despite noisy halls,, restricted visitation and illegal room changes, many women on campus enjoy living in their adopted homes. Residents of Bates House complain about the lack of tight security. Annette Ellard, a Bates House freshman said, "I call it E plan: everything goes." Another Bates House resident said, "The security isn't as tight as it was last year." Ellard also complained about the limited number of refrigerators alloted to Bates House residents. Thev gave out thirty refrigerators for our whole dorm," she siad. Changing assigned rooms is a recurring headache for RLS. A sorority floor resident in South Tower feels the University policy for handling moves from sorority floors to regular on-campus housing is not satisfactory. She said, "We have to follow all the rules, but if we want to move off a t.. n,w.? :..t? 1u tu? i? * ? ? r ?U1 UI ll_y 11UUI 1I11U 1 I'gUUIl IHJUSIIIg, WC IU IIIC UUUUUI U1 Lilt: list." At the head of the room waiting list are upperclassmen, incoming freshmen and transfer students, and last are applicants on file in the order in which they apply, according to the Student Information Manual. Since sorority floor residents are technically considered offcampus, their level of priority falls into the third category with apartment dwellers and students who live at home. One student enjoyed living in South Building. "It's in the : J ji ^ r il: - n ~ l : j r-? v _i _i n ur_ i niiuuii: ui everyining, sne saiu. sne aiso saiu, we nave good closet space." The folding type doors in South Building . seem to hold up better than the sliding type doors found | elsewhere on campus. The resident said the all-you-can-eat i format in South Building cafeteria is inconvenient. "It costs ! $3.25 just to get in the door, and who's got $3.25 just to buy a drink?" Women on campus must follow more rules than the men. Female towers residents must sign in guests beginning Sept.

Hall advisers must sometime face the stress of being both a student and a University employee. A Towers hall adviser complained that university officials were "idealistic" , dealing with discipline problems last year. j The RUSSELL HOUSE UN \ donating prizes for the 198 \ Grouchos I AlUl^ii/* Af | A \|| IIV | IV. /~\||IV? / Stage Door \ Stuffy *s J Steak and Ale ( Budweiser of Columbia, Inc. \ 1 he Peddler Steak House / TacoCid ( Yesterdays \ Graphitti I Peaches \ Golden Spur J C 6 S Bank J We would also like to thank NE< \ House Building Staff, for all of th< I w fnm^rrnu/ c (t AMPrnri/ f j v i vi 11 v/ i v/?? j v// iLvvy vi\ ii Draws Complaints! She was hall adviser to a girl who continually made noise disturbances. The hall adviser wrote the girl up six times and no disciplinary action was taken by university officials, she said "If we can't handle it ourselves, we're incompetent," sarcastically remarked the hall adviser. She hopes the situation will improve this year and more support will be given to hall advisors. Linda Saad of Residential Life Services said vandalism is one 01 tne major discipline proDiems. individuals snouio De responsible for their own acts," she said. Saad said she would rather have the responsible individual pay for vandalism damages instead of the entire dorm or specific hall sharing the cost. She said the funds for maintenance and repairs was small because, "By law we have to be self-supporting." A large fund would mean increased costs to the residents, so RLS cannot always pay for repairs. Another major problem faced by RLS is students unoffically switching rooms. If an illegal room change is made, "you forfeit your room change," according to Saad. There is also a maximum penaltv of $15. Students sometimes do not realize the advance work RLS must do. Some students Question hnvint* room sinn-nn o.irlv ? ---o m,O" in the semester. Saad said the early signup each spring makes room available to incoming freshmen. "If we don't give them commitments they will go somewhere else." m Sterling Silver ^ Cobra Bracelet ; ! ! The Jewelry Warehouse I ! |1| 2909 Piatt Springs Rd., w.
