~EGULAR SESSION - University of Oregon

STUDENT LIVING
Cooperative Houses
Students with urgent financial problems, excellent character, and superior
scholarship may apply for membership in cooperative houses, where, by sharing
housekeeping responsibilities, they are able to save about $15.00 a month on board
and room costs. There are four cooperative houses for women, Highland, Laurel,
Rebec, and University; and two for men, Campbell Club and Philadelphia
House. Applications for memberships must be made through the Office of Student
Affairs; applications are subject to approval by the undergraduate membership
of the house.
Although, under general University housing regulations, freshman students
are required to live in the dormitories, permission to live in cooperative houses will
be granted to freshmen if, for financial reasons, they would otherwise be unable
to enter the University.
Ann Judson House, maintained by the Baptist Church but with membership
open to young women of all religions, is operated as an independent dormitory,
under University supervision. Applications for membership should be addressed
to the Dean of Women.
Off-Campus Housing
The University Housing Office, Carson Hall, maintains a list of approved
rooms, apartments, and houses available for rent. The list is not published for
mail distribution. Students eligible to live off campus (see Housing Regulations,
below) are advised to engage quarters personally after inspection and conference
with the householder.
Housing for Married Students
Housing for married students is provided in more than 700 furnished and
unfurnished family-dwelling units owned and operated by the University. The
units include a wide variety of accommodations. The rents range from $42.50 to
$76.00 per month. Application should be made to the University Housing Office,
Carson Hall.
The married-student housing program is intended primarily to accommodate
married graduate students working toward advanced degrees. Priority in housing
assignment is given to graduate assistants, other graduate students, seniors,
juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, in descending order, with date of application
determining priority within each group. To be eligible for housing, graduate
assistants must be enrolled for 9 term hours of work, other students for 12 hours
of work.
Social Activities
Rules governing the social activities of the various living organizations are
established by the Student Activities Committee, composed of faculty and student
members. The rules are published in the student handbook, the ORE-NTER,
copies of which are available in the administrative office of the Student Union and
in the office of the Dean of Students.
Housing Regulations
(1) Freshmen students are required to live in University dormitories (see,
however, under COOPERATIVE HOUSES, above.)
