PRIZE OFFERED:
Art Students Plan Model Dormitory
THURSDAY, 8 APRIL 1965
i
By ROGER RAPOPORT
It's a problem even Minuro Ya-
masaki might think twice about
before tackling.
"Design a two-student dormi-
tory room, not to exceed 225
vide functional and attractive
space for student living."
Prof. William Carter of the
architecture and design school
put his students to the task and
they came up with ingenious
ideas for the perfect dorm room.
It's all part of a contest (first
prize $500) sponsored by a furni-
ture firm, the Royal Metal Corp.
You should see the rooms the
students have designed. Carpeting,
walk-in closets, full length mir-
rors, separate study areas, room
dividers, pendant lamps, coffee
table arrangements, and adapt-
able closet space.
They've even solved the age old
problem. What do you do when
your roommate wants to pull an
all nighter and you have an
eight o'clock? Laurel Sera, '65
A&D, has a partition that pulls
across the sleeping area, separ-
ating it from the study portion
of the room.
Another student has put in a
permanent partition to separate
the study and sleeping areas.
Carpeting
Virtually all the projects have
carpeting on the floor and feature
plush chairs. "Wood chairs are
too hard to study on,' 'explains
Pat Hinman, '65.
One o fthe major problems in
dormitory construction-especially
in co-ed facilities-is to make a,
room suitable for men or women.I
Sandra Pelto, '65, has come up
with an adaptable "closet-shelf
system,"rwhich can use two types{
of drawers.
"Girls," she explains, "have
more clothes and they need more
drawer space," depending on the
student's needs shelvescan be
arranged to provide extra book-
space, room for a high fi or a
place for skiis.
Lighting contracted considerable
attention among the student plan-
ners .One girl has a bank of nine
overhead lights.
"The dorm rooms always seemed
so dim," she explains. Other varia-
tions include pendant lamps, while
one model even features floor to
ceiling windows to alleviate the
cooped-up feeling.
Innovations
The rooms have a variety of
other innovations, ranging from
a perch above the bed ,to allow
for curling up with a book or make
room for a weekend guest.
Even the walls got attention.{
One student has a cork covered
wall (a king-sized bulletin board)
while another plans for vinyl cov-
ered walls to allow for easy clean-
ing,
Prof. Carter observes that, "The
students drew on their dorm liv-
ing to try and give students a
sense of territory. Every student
wants a little place he can call his
own even if it's only 10 square
feet."
The students have all lived in
dormitories and drew on their
experience. "I tried to make my
model room seem less prisonlike,
than the one I lived in," explain-
ed one designer.
While some of the ideas for the
rooms, notably wall to wall car-
peting, might make university fi-
nancial wizards wince, Prof. Carter
explains that they represent a
savings in the long run.

Jazz Scene
1965:
The Finale
DESIGN FOR LIVING in the quads is being shown to Prof. Wil-
liam Carter of the architecture and design school by one of his
students. Carter's students are currently working on a design of
the perfect dormitory room.
The Ann Arbor jazz scene almost took its last gasp when pianist Bob James left
the Falcon Bar last year, taking his excellent drummer Turk Pozar with him, and
leaving behind only bassist Ron Brooks of the original trio.
But Brooks, when left with musicians inferior to James and Pozar, refused to let
the jazz sound die in Ann Arbor, and founded a.cohesive and impressive "Festival
Quintet",to perform during last weekend's four-day formal "Jazz Scene 1965."
For those buffs who cared to discuss their pet musicians and the directions and
definitions of Americah jazz, there were seminars last Thursday and Friday nights-
Thursday's featuring famed jazz harpist Dorothy Ashby. But not until Saturday after-
noon, and the session at the Sabo Club-Ron Brooks' and his Function '65 jazz, a
weekly occurrence at the Sabo-did the four-day festival begin to move.
Brooks' "cookin" group set the tone for Sunday's climatic concert featuring De-
troit's George Bohanon/Ronnie Fields quintet. Bohanon (trombonist) and Fields
(tenor) were supported by a rhythm section composed of Kenny Cox (piano), Will
Austin (bass) and Bert Myrick (drums). All of the Behanon/Fields group are pictured
here, plus tenorman Jim Detwiler from the Brooks aggregation.
Also, four poets from Detroit involved to a greater or lesser degree with recaptur-
ing the sounds of jazz in their poetry, read to Sunday's audience, which greeted their
efforts with either wild enthusiasm or stony silence.
