Appalling

I am living in room 331
Dunnington. There are seven
girls in my suite.

Located behind the locked
door of room 333 are two
empty beds, two unused desks,
and two spacious closets. I
understand also that a number
of upperclass rooms are
occupied by only one person.
It is appalling that with the
number of students in triples
and with the number of
students turned down for dorm
requests this gross inefficiency
of the Housing Department
could be overlooked.

A friend of mine, a second
year transfer student from
Duke, was informed last spring
of the absolute impossibility of
securing an upperclass dorm
room this fall. In addition to
hassling exams in Durham, she
had to worry about
off-grounds housing in a
Foreign city.

The University Housing
Department should open its
blinds.
