The 51 graduate students living on the Range during the upcoming school year met Sunday to select their rooms.
The future residents were chosen from a pool of 71 applicants in February and March through a process run by graduate students.
Applicants submitted a 500-word essay about their contributions to a greater sense of community among Range residents and among all graduate students as well.
The selected committee was composed of 17 current Range residents.
Future residents already can look forward to some aspects of the 2003-2004 school year. Range name plaques, which were included on all rooms in the past but excluded this year, will return next year.
The disappearance of name placards this year was a result of the absence of a list of residents rather than a lack of funding, said Burt Joseph of the Housing Division.
Range residents have formed a Range Council intended to meet the first Sunday of every month to be in charge of financial and administrative governance of the Range.
