UPPERCLASS DORM GAINS POPULARITY by John Mulkie For upperclassmen who are having trouble finding a place to live next year, maybe the new Junior-Senior dorm is the answer. The new facility, which is Davis Annex, has reprotedly received strong support already for next year as only a few openings remain. Several "luxuries" are offered to those who live in Davis Annex. There will be carpeting in the rooms, something which Otterbein's men's residence halls
have never seen. If this experiment is successful, it is hoped that all of the rooms in Davis Hall will be carpeted in the next few years. In addition to carpeting, some "double rooms" are open to for occupency by one man if he pays an additional $50 per term or $150 per year. Depending upon whether or not the Trustees pass visitation, the basement of the Annex will be used as date rooms, kitchenettes, and however else the occupants want to use them.
