Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource JMU Photographic Services Title A name given to the resource Student on Phone Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1979 Description An account of the resource Technology has greatly influenced our daily lives, and technology has likewise been incorporated into dormitories. This image from a residential living brochure shows a student conversing on a rotary phone in her own dorm room. Previously, students had to travel to the public hall phones, or one located in Alumnae Hall, to receive phone calls. The rules stated that they were limited to three or five minute conversations and calls had to be received before 11:00 p.m. Today, many colleges are removing landline phones all together in dormitory rooms. Their minimal use by students today, who communicate on personal cell phones or on their computers, does not justify their cost. Still, while technology changes the rules and the use of space in living areas, stuffed animals are a consistent presence.

A doll and a leather or wooden box sit on the top shelf of the right bookshelf and a sewing kit is on the bottom shelf. Many students were expected to repair their own clothes, especially if this picture was taken during wartime when cloth was rationed.

Fewer framed personal pictures and more posters of popular culture icons were a marked difference from earlier photographs of school dormitory rooms. However, the ubiquitous stuffed animal remains. No longer worrying about hanging things from the ceiling molding, these posters are attached with tape--which would have violated earlier rules, but allows for flat things like posters to be used for decoration.

Her roommate’s bed is covered in a fringed chenille bedspread, which were very popular. Visible in the background is a radio, which freshmen were advised to bring to campus. However, they were also told that they “only need[ed] one radio to a room.” While not a set rule, this was a guideline freshmen were told before even arriving on campus. This helped shape how space in dorm rooms was allotted; since there were normally at least two students to a room, the area and entertainment must be shared; space was a precious commodity.

Originally housing both sororities and fraternities, currently sororities are the only Greek organizations housed on campus. The area was expanded in 1987, when two more buildings were added, and several of the houses have since been converted into the Treehouse residence halls. The initial building timeline for Greek Row coincided with the school decision to allow kegs in dorms (which was later repealed).
