In order to evaluate student responses toward adding a quiet lifestyle floor in Thomas, representatives of the residence hall announced Thursday they will be handling the assessment through a survey. 

The announcement came during the Residence Hall Association meeting Thursday. 

The survey will be sent out electronically to Thomas Hall residents’ emails before Thanksgiving break. 

Lisa Walker, the area director of Thomas and Andrews Hall, said the Thomas Hall Council is still looking into the need for a female quiet lifestyle floor. 

There is currently only one male quiet lifestyle floor in Thomas and five across campus. 

Walker said the hall council must make a decision whether or not to add a female quiet lifestyle floor by the time they send out the housing contracts during Spring Semester.

“There is a want but we are trying to decide if there is a need, like how many residents would choose that floor,” Walker said. 

Mark Hudson, the director of Housing and Dining, mentioned the Big Blue Conga Line, which will start at noon Friday by the Doudna Steps. 

The Homecoming Committee set up this gathering as an impromptu flash mob.

He also announced the Bond Revenue Committee will be expected to meet for the first time on Oct. 25.

The committee is made up of three senate members and three RHA members who will be in charge of the housing and dining rates for the next school year. 

Miguel Williams chose his picks for Bond Revenue Committee, but Hudson will have the final say into whether they will be a part of the committee 

Hudson said he hopes the scheduling conflicts will work out with the members. 

RHA members also announced the sign ups to walk with RHA in the Homecoming Parade on Saturday will be at 8:30 a.m. in the Java Beanery & Bakery in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. 

The next RHA meeting will take place at 5:00 p.m. Thursday in McKinney Hall.
