Dorm life: murals and a grand piano
By FRANK SHAW
In an attempt to improve the
livablity of residence halls the
housing department now allows
students to paint their dorm
rooms.
'We decided it was important
for the students to be able to see
their rooms as a pleasant place
to live,” says Marge Ramey, as
sistant director of the housing
department
Letting students paint their
rooms has been permitted for
over a year
The student submits a plan to
the area director, and upon ap
proval the housing department
furnishes the student with paint,
brushes and floor coverings
The student supplies the labor
Ramey says most students
favor graphics or murals on
their wall A student in Smith
dormitory last year did a com
plete mural of Hawaii, she says,
complete with clouds on the
ceiling
In addition to allowing the
students to paint their own
rooms, the department has
given permission for the dorms
to paint the halls and stairways
Since the average-sized dorm
room is only 10x8, the housing

department allows the residents
to make any changes in the
room that do not affect the
structure of the building
The most popular change,
according to Ramey, is bunking
the two beds on one side of the
room
There are several common
ways to make bunks The most
popular is to take two wooden
pallets, set them on one bunk
and place the remaining bed on
top
This isn’t the only way,
though
Ramey recalls students who
put their bunks up on bricks,
pipes, or milk crates Others
build elaborate structures that
bring both beds up to si* feet off
the ground, allowing them to
bring in couches and lounge
chairs One student even had a
baby grand ptano in his dorm
room
Another proposal currently
under consideration is using the
Bean East dormitories as ex
perimental dorms One sugges
tion is to knock out the wall
between two dorm rooms and
have one large room with four
people in it
Ramey says that housing
receives many requests for
large rooms with cooking facili
ties, but says she finds that
students living in dorms like that
discover they want more
privacy
According to existing rules,
residents are not allowed to
have toaster ovens, hot plates,
or any cooking utensil without
an automatic-off switch Pop
corn poppers and hot pots are
permitted
Ramey says she feels
students have done an excellent
job in painting and decorating
their rooms, and says that they
will continue to give students a
free rein
