“Then I saw the spirit and the tra
ditions and all the seniors in the hall,”
Nelson said. “(1 decided) I am going
to live here my entire college career. ”
Nelson said having a non-air
conditioned facility strengthens the
sense of community within the
hall and encourages participation
in events like Bonfire.
“The non-air forces people out of
their rooms and into the halls,” Nel
son said. “We set a standard for mo
tivation. Walton has one of the high
est retention rates of upperclassmen
among dorms on campus. We have
a lot of eneigy and a lot of traditions.
We pay about $1000 less to suffer
through one month (of heat).”
Walton and Hart halls’ rent is cur
rently $572 per semester, which is
two rent scales lower than the cheap
est dorms available for female resi
dents. The lowest rent housing op
tion available to females are balcony
dorms, renting for $970 per semester.
The Department of Residence Life
is considering keeping Hart Hall a
non-air conditioned dorm and open
ing up a ramp to female residents for
a lower rent housing option.
Sasse said the Department of
Residence Life concluded there
were females interested in a lower
rent, non-air housing option after a
survey was conducted last spring.
Jerry Smith, the associate direc
tor of the Department of Residence
Life, said he favors adding window
air units to Walton to maintain a
low rent housing option.

Another concern Bus Ops is work
ing on at this time is student com
plaints about the current on-campus
bus routes and scheduling.
“A lot of variables are responsi
ble for the problems with a number
of our routes this semester,” Jack-
son said. “The closing of Fish Pond
for safety reasons, the large volume
of students and budget difficulties
are among the biggest issues we are
currently dealing with.”
Jackson said Bus Ops is consid
ering an option that would integrate
the off-campus routes with the on-
campus routes to reduce the number
of stops and would double the num-

“The building has been stand
