Paradise Lost
Last Tuesday, Albermarle's dorm
council announced their decision to change
the building's name to "Dorm from Hell."
The original choice was to call the
dorm "Home of the Lei," but was turned
down by Dean Loftus. The decision to use
the second choice was deemed acceptable
after complaints were submitted by several
residents.
Both names were chosen and cre
ated by the students and cleared for ap
proval by Dean Loftus. Loftus explained
that his approval was not necessary but was
done outof courtesy to the dorm. According
to Loftus, it was done so that he would not

St. Andrews students are having
to become more creative and more patient
in their approach to campus housing, ac
cording to the campus Housing Director.
“We are having to consider al
ternate places to house many students,
she said. “Places that, five years ago
would have been considered unsuitable,
are now being fought for.”
The current dorm room crunch is
the result of one of the largest ever enter
ing classes, which arrived last fall, and the
college policy of refusing to allow students
to live off-campus.
“I think it’s the fault of Admis
sions,” she said. “If she hadn’t gone out
and gotten all those extra students we
wouldn't have anything to worry about.

“They took their inspiration from
the students at Galludet,” said one obvi
