By Jeff Leibowitz For about 1.100 freshman and 400 transfer students the first weeks of school are a time of transition and readjustment, and although most say they are enjoying their new independence, overcrowded dormitories are already raising concerns. Alan Devries, the assistant director of Residence Life, said about 1,000 of the new students have been tripled. with 300 triples in G and H quads and 20 in Stage XII. "If we didn't triple them,", he said, "we wouldn't be able to let them into the school. We already har-e a waiting list of over 50 students.". Devries added that the students who have been tripled in Stage XII can expect one of their roommates to be relocate,' "within a couple of weeks," but those in G and H quads may have to wait until the end of the semester. There is a delay because Residence Life is waiting to see which students will not be attending Stony Brook, and because many are expected to drop out, resulting in more vacancies, Devries noted. "Everbybody comes in at different times," said Mitch Breuer, a freshman who is tripled in O'Niel College. "It's a problem because sometimes one of us will come in when someone else is sleeping. I was never told that I would be tripled-I found out when I got here." "I worry that there won't be enough room," added Aldebre Schroll, a James College freshman who has also been tripled. "For the money that we pay for this," she said, "I think we should get a refund if we are tripled." In accordance with phase one of Stony Brook's mandatory meal plan policy, all Freshman and transfer students must l Dorms Offer Tripling and Readjustmentfl IRW Em - - BX ilS, | S S , | ll11 1 - - - , S " As, Nil 11 111 ,.i, 113s 1 LIZ__ A__ be on a University Food Service meal plan. And because G and H quads have traditionally been geared towards freshman needs, half of all transfer students are being housed in Kelly Quad this year, Devries said. "I've never had to live away from home before," said transfer student James Eisenberg, "And I have never had a lot of friends. Now I'm thrust into a situation where it is very difficult to be isolated-I think it's good. I feel my social skills are just as important as my academic ones." Most of the transfer students housed in Kelly Quad had no complaints about the housing conditions. "None at all," said Danny Rubin, a freshman living in Kelly A. "The social life here is great. All the people are fun to be with-it's great living away from home." - Like many transfer students, Nancy Ferrara said new combination locks which were installed in the suite doors of Kelly A and E, Hand and Cordoza are more convienient than the key locks which they replaced. "It's good because I don't have to worry about where my key is. but I am a little concerned that someone could learn my combination," she said. "People were losing keys in the past and we were constantly having to make up new ones," said Jody Allen, a residence hall director in Kelly A. She added that in the past students had duplicated their keys off campus and still have access to rooms which they no longer live in. "Being away from home is good-it's complete independance," said Ken Hyams, a transfer student living in Kelly A. "You meet more people now than in any other time of your life."
