Sharing a bathroom and a beer
But some complain since the University bought Oglethorpe House
By STEVE GOLDBERG
Staff writer
Oglethorpe House residents express
mixed emotions about living in the
residence hall which had been private until
the University purchased it this summer
The most obvious difference between
Oglethorpe and the other residence halls ts
the $277 per quarter housing fee. well over
the rent for other dorms. The rent is
justified, according to Director of Housing
Dan Hallcnbcck. because of semi private
baths and central air conditioning.
Many residents feel living in Oglethorpe
is worth the extra money. “It's the nicest
of the dorms, and it’s very convenient."
one resident said "We e getting a good
break, because it's still cheaper than other
places one could live."
"Oglethorpe is really worth the moncs ."
said another resident, adding. "the
moveable furniture, the sinks, the bath
rooms and the larger rooms make the
difference."
However, not all residents are as hupps
about living in Oglethorpe Specific com
plaints range from roaches to broken
washing machines to a lack of hot water in
the mornings
It’s not what I expected." one resident
said. "It’s a big rip-off. It might used n
have been worth the moncs but now
everyone can come in and use our washing
machines, which are broken esers few
days, and use our pool tables and studies
Hallcnbcck said an exterminating com
pany has been contracted to take care of
the roaches, and the maintenance man in
Oglethorpe is getting to the work orders as
quickly as he can.
"The main problem with getting things
fixed is getting the students to tell us they
are broken," said Marianne Hill. Ogle
thorpe's graduate resident assistant
"Also, when the University took over the
uiMirg \»e found that it wasn’t built like
the rest • I our dorms, and Physical Plant
hjd to uler pans for things like plumbing,
which is i residential type in Oglethorpe,
unlike the hcavier-duiv tspes in the other
buildings
"The problem with the hot water is
being i.iu'-l bs a t....Its breaker on the
PI ■ ai PUai is looking into
that a’.s Hill added. " As for the use ot
the po. • tables the hall council, which
ovs -,- 'hem is making provisions for

thing wall alv be done about restricting the

REFERENDUM NOV. 13
Officials support
A&S council
By JOHN I.ACKIE
Assistant eampus editor
Administration officials said Tuesday
they support a proposed Arts and Sciences
school council* which may be established
next week if students in the school pass a
referendum setting a framework for
forming the council.
"I think it has a lot ot potential." said
Dvsight Douglas, dean ot student services,
adding most other schools in the University
have previously organized bodies with
similar functions.
A student-administrator group organ
izing the referendum this week released its
proposal, scheduled for a vote by AAcS
students Nov. 13.
"I think it’s a very good idea." Douglas
said. "The *>rts of concerns evidenced in
(the referendum) are very thoughtful."
Arts and Sciences Associate Dean
Robert John said his office is “generally
supportive ol the whole concept." saving
the proposed council is not designed to
replace the now-defunct Student Govern
ment Association.
"We think it has a potential of doing a
lot of things." he said. "I'm pretty bullish
about the whole concept."
John said the referendum outlines the
council and asks the students if they w ant it
hut if the council were established it would
have to adopt its own constitution and
bylaws.
Harold Mulherin. former SGA president,
opposes establishing the council. The
council “looks like they’re trying to fill the
gap of student government." Mulherin
said.
"It seems like they’re trying to bring
something in so quickly, it's kind of
obvious." he said.
"The kind of people who would run for
this arc the kind of people who would run
for SGA." he said, adding he thinks the
council is “pretty political."
Committee member John Hreaugh said
the response he has received on the refer
endum has been positive.
"What we’ve hoard has been really
good." he saui "Wo don’t know what the
turnout is going to bo. That worries 111c a
