Three girls in a room may not be a “temporary”
situation for future dormitories if studies can prove that
accommodations and personalities will allow such hous
ing conditions.
Duane Adelson, director of student relations for Stu
dent Government, is studying the possibility of having
three girls per room in the modular-type dormitories to
give more girls an opportunity to live on campus.
“TCU and LSU already have three girls per room on
their campuses,” Adelson said. “A&M is supposed to
have as many girls on campus as guys.”
Including the Corps, Texas A&M University has
almost 2,000 more males on campus than females,
according to the Housing Office.
The new dormitory near Fowler Hall is supposed to
accommodate 242 people. If one more person is added
to each room it will house 363. The dormitory under
construction near Aston Hall will house 270 students,
and with 135 added it will accommodate 405.
“A total of 256 more people would be on-campus,”
Adelson said. “If both dorms were to be for girls, that’s
enough extra girls to make another dorm. And then,
hopefully, the money would be funneled back into
.something else that would go toward building a new
dorm.”
But the Housing Office says the new dormitory near
Aston will be a male dorm.
Student Government is working with the Residence
Hall Association on the three-in-a-room study.
“We’re trying to see if three per room is feasible and if
it would work as well with upperclassmen or just fresh-<
men,” Adelson said. “Our biggest problems will be
putting the three desks and beds in a room, and
communication between the girls who have totally
different backgrounds.
“The larger modular dorm rooms are 4 feet longer
than the other rooms so they would be more practical for
accommodating three,” Adelson continued.
“The idea (allowing more girls on campus) is just
great, but I don’t think it (three-in-a-room) will get a
very popular response,” Hobby Hall’s third floor resi
dent adviser Nancy Montgomery said. “Everyone needs
privacy, your own space, and three in a room doesn’t
work.
“I don’t think it will go over too well, but I think it’s
good that it’s being looked into,” Montgomery said.
Joyce Sharp, Hobby Hall’s second floor resident
adviser said, “Personality conflicts and privacy are two
big problems with the three girls situation. Several of
the girls form two-to-one conflicts which really creates a
bad situation.”
In contrast, Adelson says that several freshmen like it.
“One girl was assigned a room in the Commons area
and she wanted to give it up in order to stay with her two
roommates,” Adelson said. “I think it would work better
for freshmen since they’re new and upperclassmen are
already set in their ways.”
