On-campus housing will decrease
by 226 places next year
By Lisa Johnson
The Battalion
The number of spaces available for Texas A&M
on-campus housing has decreased by 226 for Fall
1996. The change is due in large part to the rever
sion of Briggs Hall to Corps of Cadets housing and
the consolidation of the balcony halls: Keathley,
Fowler and Hughes.
The number of spaces available after residents
renewed their housing contracts is down from
3,471 in F’all 1995 to 2,744 for Fall 1996.
The number of spaces in Mosher Hall will de
crease by four for the fall because of the addition of
a second resident director.
Darby Roberts, area coordinator for the Depart
ment of Residence Life and Housing, said the addi
tional resident director in Mosher, a female dormi
tory that houses primarily freshmen, is different
from anything that has been attempted before.
"We are putting in a second graduate student
part-time resident director because we see a
for more staff in the dormitory,” she said.
approximately 90 percent of the residents being
freshmen, they have a lot more needs thatneedto
be attended to by the staff than the residents o[
the dormitories that house mostly upperclassmen.’
The second director will be housed in a suite ol:
rooms on the basement level of Mosher, with perma
nent accommodations to be arranged in the future.
Roberts said Residence Life and Housing hopes
to create a full-time second resident director foi
Mosher, like those in Eppright and Lechner Halls.
Ron Sasse, the director of Residence Life am
Housing, said such additions may be made to
other dormitories in the future if they are
deemed necessary.
“It’s really difficult to decide which dorms
need full-time residence directors and which only
need graduate students who are part-time direc
tors,” he said.
He said the new Keathley-Fowler-Hughescom
plex will have a full-time director because of its
large size. The co-ed complex will house more
