Twenty-two men are living in Commons study

rooms.

Carrels have dual purpose
Some Texas A&M University
en have been cramming already
stfcy living in residenee halls.
Twenty-two men were rooming in
Rtudy carrels of the Commons
Mitories Wednesday, said Glenn
fcrris, area coordinator for the
Rnons. This is due to an over
Rnnent of men to rooms.
David Bruce is a resident of
gear dormitory and has two
ates. Bruce says that having
I people in a room designed for
[makes it difficult to study. One
Hem is that there are only two
fit's pretty rough," Bruce said,
■not so bad for me because the
guy usually studies on top of
led, but he’s not too thrilled
that.”
nen Bruce wants a quiet place
^udy he said he goes to his
iend’s house. He noted this
more space for his room-
jesides the lack of desks, there is
y closet space for two. This forces
(person to leave his clothes out,
k/uVh makes it difficult to move
and the room, Bruce added.
Bruce said having three people in
Ijroom is a hassle, and said he be-
|es the university should have a
pe for students after accepting
their housing applications.
“1 think that they should be pre
pared for something like this,”
Bruce said.
Ron Sasse, associate director of
Student Affairs, said that three fac
tors caused the overcrowding in
men’s residence halls: more return
ing men, fewer men cancelling
dorm reservations, and more
freshmen signing up for residence
halls.
“We re trying to get everybody
out of a three-to-a-room situation,’
Sasse said. He added that having
two men living in a study carrel is
preferable to having three in a
room.
Sasse said that the only carrels
being used as places of residence are
located in Aston.
“We re using 13 out of the 20 in
Aston for assignments until we can
get regular room spaces,” Sasse
said.
Joe Austin and John Merrmann
are residents of Aston carrel 373.
The carrel comes complete with a
dresser, hunk-beds, and brown
paper covering the windows to the
hall.
Austin said that carrel 373 is an
improvement over Lounge B, lo
cated near Crocker, where he was
housed before moving into the
Commons. In the lounge, there
were 15 to 20 men in the same
room, and the carrel only has two.
“You couldn’t get any studying
done,” Austin added. He said that
there was always someone coming
or going.
Herrmann said that the carrel
doesn’t have any closet space, but it
does have plenty of desks.
“Moving! out of the Commons
would be a mistake, Herrmann
said. He prefers the carrel to mov
ing to a lounge of a residence hall, or
a residence hall outside the Com
mons.
Both Austin and Herrmann find
the carrel a good place to study be
cause it has carpeting on the walls,
which deadens sound. They both
said that the lighting in the carrel
was better than other rooms in As
ton.
They’re messing with our
grades,” Herrmann said. “They
should be more sure before they
promise a room.
Sasse said that one of the married
student housing buildings is being
used to place male students until
rooms are available.
The e?nd to the men’s housing
problem depends on the number of
cancellations. Sasse said that as soon
as someone withdraws, the vacant
space is filled.
