Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 3227284, member: 504"] Here I am. I lived in a log cabin along Mirror Lake. I’m the old one. Lived in Trumbull House all 4 years from 63-67. The Towers were a year old in 63 and the best housing on campus. I opted out of a frat bid because the frats were all in the Frats complex, old and crummy. When I entered, the Towers dorms each took in 6 Freshmen men, the only male frosh who didn’t have to live in the Jungle. McMahon hall was new by second year and had a tower for men and one for women. One Towers dorm, the only one known only by its number, 5A and B were women. By my junior year, the Towers dorms and West Campus were reconfigured to be about 50-50 by gender, but in separate dorms. The Towers were known as independent social dorms that screened applicants but couldn’t blackball, only prioritize. We had our own kitchens and live band parties almost every other weekend. The union building up there wasn’t built til several years after. I had a few friends who lived off campus, but off-campus living was rare, but some good parties at Coventry Lake. I was on the committee that started changing all the strict housing rules. We modified the curfews women had to put up with and allowed limited in-room visits by any gender. It paved the way for totally coed dorms and unlimited visiting hours. It was a big deal in the late 6os. And Mansfield was a dry town, so that while there was drinking in the dorms and campus parties, there were no bars and students went to bars in Willi. [/QUOTE]
