. Just a fewdays before they were to return to DMLC,about 140 senior women were informed that Centennial Hall was being closed due to a sudden decrease in enrollment. After becoming accustomed to the idea of livingin Centennial,these women had to resign themselves to living in HighlandHall,where many of them had lived as freshmen. The closing will save the college about $10,000, but less money is also coming in because of the low enrollment, which is about 630 students. CentennialHallhas housed senior women for the past fiveyears. Prior to that, Martin Luther Academy girls livedthere, and senior women were housed off-campus, Currently, no plans have been made to move the men into Centennial and close Summit Hall. Mias Haar and Dean Zarling appreciate the cooperation the senior women have shown in making this adjustment.
