Waneta to offer deluxe singles
The single rooms will be only for upperclassmen and graduate students after next year.

Dan Haag, a third year community assistant in Waneta Hall, has some reservations about only offering the singles to upperclassmen.
"I think it's a mismanagement of space," he said.
Haag said he thinks the new dorm won't hold many more students than Waneta currently does and all the change will do is shift everyone currently living in Waneta to the new dorm. He said that by just shifting students, the residence hall will not be gaining much more space.
Carlisle said she thinks the deluxe singles will be beneficial.
"I think they will provide more options to upperclassmen to stay on campus and that's what they've told us they want," Carlisle said.

"There are a lot of people who want a quiet space and don't have the options to go get a house or apartment or even enough people to fill a lease," Haag said.
Danielson is hopeful about the singles and hopes upperclassmen take advantage of them. She said even with the changes there is a strong "west side pride" and there will still be a strong sense of community in the Medary Area.
Tara Schwinger, the Waneta Hall Residence Hall Director, said she thinks the singles will go well.
"So far we've had a good reaction, people have already come to look at the rooms and have shown an interest," Schwinger said.
