The new dorms house 144 stu dents. According to assistant dean David Joyce, the faci lity will house Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority, the Gospel Choir, and other upper classmen. The commons building has laundry facili ties, a study room, televi sion, and lounge. Students are two to a room with ad joining suite bathrooms. “We expect this to be one of the best areas on cam pus,” says Joyce. He adds, “I’m excited about it— it differs from other residence halls and gives students an opportunity to show they are adults in an unique living situation. They are built like apartments, with no halls.” According to Dr. Dan Moury, director of special institutional programming and the AIDP program, “The economic life of the dorms is 40-50 years.” The approximate cost is $28 per square foot or $2,650 per bed. Area coordinator Walt 3enny of “The Oaks” says, “I’m real happy and have a lot of big ideas— we plan to wear the lounge out. I’m pleased with the way it looks and I feel students will be proud of it.” Some of the regular activi ties Denny hopes to imple ment include yoga and spe cial lectures. “I’d like it to be open to the whole cam pus.” says Denny. “Hope fully, SUB will use the lounge area for concerts and coffee houses,” he adds. Denny also hopes to have a weekly musical jam session open to all students. '“The Oaks” students are eating their meals at Harden Cafeteria, part of an esti mated 1,500 students eating on campus this fall. Another unique facet of “The Oaks” is that one of the buildings houses both male and female students. According to Joyce, although the students are technically housed under one roof, there are no accessible halls in the dorms.

Pendulum wins first class The Pendulum, weekly student newspaper of Elon College, has been given an honor rating of first class with marks of distinction in coverage and content and in editorial leadership and opinion features, according to Dr. Mary E. Priestley, adviser. This honor comes as a result of a critique of all spring semester numbers of the newspaper by the direc tor of the Associated Col legiate Press at the Univer sity of Minnesota School of Journalism. Beginning its seventh year this fall, the Pendulum was edited during 1979-80 by Craig Harris, business ad ministration major from Bur lington. The paper received a first-class honors rating for the fall term as well. In commending the Pen dulum for its coverage of news and feature material, the judge said that “there is something for everyone in the Pendulum.” Balance is well maintained, the critique said. cont. page 8 New student housing facility, “The Oaks,” has had several improvements since tills photo was taken.
