ffhr laily (Ear Hcrl Changes in Housing Slated for Next Year Last semester, the school's Housing Advisory Board made recommendations about campus living. By Jason Arthurs Staff Writer Next semester students will experi ence numerous changes to their on-cam pus housing options. Those changes, including the addi tion of women to Old East and Old West Residence Halls, allowing less freshmen on North Campus and Mid Campus and a restructuring of Craige Residence Hall assignments, will be ini tiated for the fall 2000 semester. Interim Director of University Housing Dean Bresciani said the changes the Housing Advisory Board recommended last “Moving students is something that takes strategic planning and matching demand with the type of housing we offer. ” Dean Bresciani Interim Director of University Housing semester have been finalized, although some of the remaining details have yet to be decided. “Moving stu dents is something that takes strategic planning and matching demand with the type of housing we offer,” Bresciani said. Bresciani said Old East and Old West Residence Halls would be listed as coed, although it was not certain exactly the number of women that would be allowed. “We’re waiting to see which of the men are returning,” he said. “We want to make the least disrup tion as possible." Residence Hall Association President Murray Coleman said he would like to see Old East and Old West reach the 50-50 ratio as soon as possible. “We want to see as many males in Old East and Old West as we can, but we don’t want “(Old East) is a prime location ... There’s no reason why the guys should have the best two dorms on campus. ” Stacey Mervin Sophomore, American Studies the males to be forced to move out,” Coleman said. By allowing women to live in Old East and Old West, Bresciani said the availability for housing on campus would be spread out more, making women eligible for what some students consider the best residence halls on campus and help meet the demand for more coed residence halls. Stacey Mervin, a sophomore ameri can studies major, said she planned to put in an application for a room in Old East next year. “It’s a prime location, right in the middle of campus,” Mervin said. “I would love to live in a dorm with hard wood floors, a library' and the nicest facilities. “There is no reason why the guys should have the best two dorms on campus.” At the other end of campus, undergraduate stu dents should also see another hous ing option avail able to them next year. Craige, which currently houses many graduate, transfer and inter national students, is slated to house RHA President Murray Coleman said he wanted Old East to reach a 50-50 male to female ratio as soon as possible. more undergraduates next year by mov ing some of the graduate students to other residence halls. “What we’re going to do is offer exclusive graduate housing (in Whitehead) next year and upgrade the rooms to air-condi- tioned,” Bresciani said. “Nobody’s happy about the combination (in Craige) this year.” In addition to these changes, Bresciani said freshmen next year would be less like- ly to be placed on North Campus or Mid Campus. This change comes because of the large amount of sophomores that said they were not granted their housing requests and oftentimes had to stay on South Campus. “We’re going to try to distribute those upper-class students more fairly,” he said. Currently, 25 percent of all residence halls must be freshmen, but Bresciani said that number could be decreased to as low as 15 per cent next year. Bresciani said this change was widely supported both by both upperclassmen and freshmen who often said they felt isolated in North Campus residence halls. “We’re trying to balance the assign ments to student demand,” he said. Coleman said he felt the change in the underclassmen representation on North Campus was well-supported by students. “It seems like a very agreeable idea,” he said. “This would ensure that if you did not draw a good number then your status would definitely help you out." Bresciani said these changes were closely tied to the long-term goals of the campus’ Master Plan. “To match student demand with the types of housing you offer can take years,” he said. “We’re already making changes that will benefit students in the long run.” Housing Guide Business and Advertising: Janet Cassei, director/general manager; Chrissy Beck, director of marketing; Laurie Morton, classified/customer service manager, Lisa Reichle, business manager; Jennifer Mackey, assistant business manager; Elizabeth Martin, retail sales manager.
