Borrowed Furniture
Adds Flavor to “Dorm”
Why would SA’s Dean of Stu
dents steal furniture from the
Student Center? And where is
Orange Hall’s new south an
nex?
Both questions have a com
mon solution--the "Green
house, ’ a college residence
established this year to pro
vide housing for six male stu
dents. Since there were more
on-campus students than dor
mitory beds, the Student Af
fairs Office was faced with the
problem of finding rooms for
the overflow.
Most of the students who were
living temporarily in suite
lounges or in the visiting-team
room of the gym were gradual
ly assigned to rooms that had
been reserved for non-return
ing students, but there were still
six male students who needed
rooms.
They were transferred to the
Greenhouse, alight green, cam
pus-owned structure that is lo
cated near the main south en
trance to the campus on highway
US 15.
Four of the Greenhouse re
sidents are transfers. They are
Andy Rose. Blaire Turner, Paul
Szumelda, and Richard Coyle.
Two returning students. Harry
Hagan and Tom James, round

suite. Rose has been designated
suite leader.
The lack of furniture in the
Greenhouse prompted Dean

Presbyterian churches of the
area, the performances are
usually sung at night.

dressers, desks, and some
chairs in the three bedrooms of
the Greenhouse now, but the
kitchen and living room are
almost bare.
In an effort to assimilate the
Greenhouse residents into cam
pus activities, the residents of
Orange Hall have socially “a-
dopted” them into dorm activi
ties. The Orange desk also
serves as a temporary answer
ing service for them until a
telephone is installed in the
Greenhouse.
Blaire Turner, a transfer
from Roanoke College, said the
Greenhouse residents are
pretty happy with their living
situation, but ‘ not having a
phone is the real disadvantage.’'

Course Clicks with Probing Flicks
The Sophomore C&C course
for this year has promised to
be very exciting and rewarding
in the aesthetic learning ex
perience, because of the top
films being shown both here on
campus and downtown. Through
a broader experience in cine
matics they give the student
an opportunity to show his re
action to these films through
discussions and papers.
The first of the films in the
series is "The Seventh Seal”
to be shown Wednesday and
Thursday, the 20-21st of this
week. It offers a challenge to
the viewer along with seeing a
great example of film produc
tion. Coming Sept. 27-28, to be
shown on campus, is •’■Char
tres’'. This film deals with the
Cathedral, the biography and
the aesthetic productions of
Michaelangelo, The ''Titan’',
to be shown October 11-12 also
promises to be an exciting flick.
Both of these films will have
multiple showings on campus,
with times to be announced la
ter. "Man for All Seasons’',
