PAGE EIGHT rIryrui' A N A II '7 CAGE Ir,__ lb1Y11.M l Xa ^ L 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. I r a a }d r Pianist Kenny Cox Comes Across With His Relaxed, Controlled Style 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. fi :'!
