Also, there will be a central cooking kitchenette for every four rooms and a bathroom for every two rooms. Currently in Wasatch Hall there is one bathroom for each floor and no cooking facilities, making the residents subscribe to a meal plan. Paul Draper, senator for Social and Behavioral Science, said in the meeting that he would have been interested in living on campus with these improvements.The completion of the new hall has tenatively been placed in fall of 2002, Dyal-Chand said. The second phase of the total plan will see the three. residence halls, Wasatch, La Sal and Stansbury demolished to create updated halls that will be dedicated strictly for freshmen. "We are talking about residence halls that have outlived their purpose," Dyal Chand said. "They are between 30 and 34 years old." ' Scott Kafer, senator for Veteran Students, and asked about the possibility of Greek Housing within the second phase of residence hall construction. Dyal-Chand told the senate of plans for theme housing within the second phase such as honors housing and international student housing. He said the Greek housing would fit within this structure. The third phase will see more housing built on the site south of the Dee Events Center. With 23 acres available on the site, the housing is expected to expand into a whole community where students would enjoy spending their time as they pursue their degrees. Possible additions could include barbecue pits, sand volleyball or a day care center to assist the family and married housing. "We are dreaming very big here," Dyal-Chand said. Youth continued from 3 "The best thing is that they anticipate us coming, and they know we will have some kind of structured activity for them. They really enjoy that," Gomez said. Greg Larsen, an Admissions Ambassador, focused on the importance of children receiving adequate attention from adults and pointed out that programs like this help tremendously. "I've gained a lot of appreciation for the fact that I was able to go home when I was a kid and spend time with-my parents," Larsen said. There's a need to spend time with kids, Larsen said. Several on-campus organizations, such as the Latter-day Saints Student Association, have aided the Admissions Ambassadors in preparing materials for the activities and also by lending support. "We are an ARO group," Gomez said. "Anyone can join and we would love the help." Admissions Ambassadors have a wide variety of responsibilities including giving campus tours, student recruitment activities as well as holding community service projects.
