Emerald Reporter
Life and living facilities for
University co-eds presents no
great problems at the present
time, either of space or adjust
ment. Perhaps this can be slyly
attributed to women's traditional
nest-building instincts which
makes a college co-ed feel at home
after one week of re-arranging,
whether it be in luxurious Carson
hall or on the top floor of Ger
linger.
At any rate, the temporary use
of Gerlingcr and Hendricks annex
to house the overflow of women
students at the beginning and dur
ing last term, brought no com
plaint from the women involved.
The girls at Hendricks annex loved
it! And now that they've moved
into Carson and Hendricks, well
— they like that fine, too.
The use of such facilities next
fall depends entirely on the size
of women's enrollment, Golda
Wickham, director of women's af
fairs, said. If the enrollment war
rants such a move, Susan Camp

co-eds shows a pretty even score
on the distribution of advantages'
to living in one place or the other.
Carson has more luxurious fur
nishings but the girls at Hendricks
have the unified feeling derived
from living in less spacious area
which promotes that “at home"
feeling. There are fewer girls to
dorm, can be reconverted to that
use. It presently houses some of
the overflow of men students. The
opening of Carson hall in the fail
of 1950 provided sufficient space
to alleviate, any problem of space.

a room at Carson, eight double
rooms to every single and triple
as compared to the four girls to
a room at Hendricks. Cut Hen
dricks' rooms include a study
room, sleeping porch, dressing
room and plenty of closet space
for those four girls. Carson girls
have the disadvantage of trying
to get to sleep while the midnight i
oil still burns for the roommate j
hitting the books.
Dining Convenience
Additional conveniences of both
living organizations include a
completely equipped laundry room
at Hendricks and one on each
floor of Carson and the use of a
conveniently located kitchenette
service in the house to still those
gastric pains when meals seem a
million hours apart.
Meals are served cafeteria style
except on Sunday when place set
tings are used. The house mother,
seated at head of table, acts as
hostess during mealtime. Humors
have it that the Carson dining hall
makes a good place to polka in
between hours which indicates
nothing except that polka fans
should apply for rooms there.
Counselor System
Both halls use the counselor sys
tem to lessen the responsibility of
the individual house mothers and
give the girls a shoulder to cry on
or a convenient source of advice
when the inevitable problems of
living away from home arise. Car
son has two counselors on each
floor an o' the tw'o at Hendricks
give the same proportional distri
bution according to population.
The problems met by the senior
girls acting as counselors in the
dormitory cover a wide range from
the more serious to the eternal
discussions on “boys and what to
wear,” as one Carson counselor
puts it. The counselors check the
rooms at closing hours to make
sure the girls are all in and check
the freshmen during study hours
on week nights.
One of the duties of the coun
selor is helping the arriving fresh
men unpack, get orientated and
registered all in one hectic week.
The counselors are expect* . to
be aware of the problems of the
girls under their supervision and
to confer with the housemoth* on
any of the more serious prob e.ms
that inevitably occur when a hun
dred girls a:e living under one
roof. And of course that includes
the current most prominent, prob
lem, unlocking the doors for 'Iris
who forget their keys.
