Men don't live in Hawthorne The
four-story building in Walton Com
plex is the only all-women's resi
dence hail on campus.
The predominantly freshmen res
idents have a unique living experi
ence because of the single-sex dorm,
said resident assistant Rachel Houk.
■'It’s easier to relate because we’re
ail women," said Houk, who was a
Hawthorne resident during her first
year at the University
"1 compare my freshman year to
my sophomore year when I lived in
a coed dorm, and it was a totally dif
ferent experience," Houk said. "The
girls that I met my freshman year in
Hawthorne, we all became best
friends because we were all women
in a freshman dorm.
“I've seen a lot of really good
friendships formed in the dorm this
year already." she added.
Second-year resident Beth Wal
lace said she believes Hawthorne
has a home-like atmosphere com
pared to coed dorms
"It’s really hard to explain," she
said. “I don't know why it is. but it
seems the yjirls that are here are tost
so much more friendlv It's a calm
dorm, but you can make so many
fritwtds and just have a great time.”
Another advantage of Hawthorne.
Jennifer VVillock said, is that “you
can go and shower whenever you
want and not have to worry about

By Julie Swensen
Oregon Daily Emerald
Although the University's
Oregon Marital Studies Program
is well-known internationally,
it isn't too familiar within the
campus or Eugene community.
Those who do know about
the program, which is offered
through the psychology
department, may think that its
low-cost services only
encompass marital counseling.
But the program is expanding
to emphasize problem
prevention, and is teaching
communication skills not only
to long-married couples, but to
newlyweds und dating couples
who want to learn ways that
they can preserve their
relationship and prevent
problems from occurring
The program, which is run by
psychology students. is
regarded as a leader in the field.
Staff members have designed

known and used
internationally, and other
