Women will live on the Lawn next year for the first time.
Third-year College student Cynthia Goodrich and third-year Education student Ann Cowardin received rooms in the recent selection of Lawn residents, according to Housing Director Ralph Main.
Miss Goodrich and Miss Cowardin were among 51 third-year students selected out of about 200 applicants for Lawn housing.

Deeley, Brian C. DeLaney, Ernest Dempsey, Steve W. Edwards, Michael R. Flock, William F. Garner, Kim A. Hatcher, Steve M. Johnson, Charles R. Joseph, Richard J. Kasper, Morgen F. Kelly, Edwin L.

Other Lawn Residents
Also chosen were Richard C. Barrickman from the Commerce School, Gary W. Chewning and Rex E. Hickman from the Architecture School and Raymond N. Ng, Thomas R. Phillips, Freeman G. Hudson and Ted M. Pitts from the Engineering School.
Cracker Box residents will be Robert G. Byron, John R. Gaughen, Kevin J. Kingston and Randy G. Wert, all from the College.
No room assignments have yet been determined, but according to Mr. Main, tentative plans include the building of bathing facilities on the East Lawn for the women residents.
Co-education Not New
Mr. Main also said that co-education is not completely new to the Lawn area — women have resided on the West Range for the past two years with a minimum of inconvenience to all residents.
Miss Goodrich, who is senior counselor of Gwathmey House, said she was “very pleased” to have been selected.
The location of the women’s bathroom will not be a problem for the women, she explained, because rooms will be near it.
