For the spring semester, the first question was: With only two hundred new student placements was it worth using the new system? According to Ranville, the answer was an overwhelming `yes'.
New requirements surfaced for the second half of the academic year, such as the first_timer contraint to put new students together; blocking `doubles-as-singles' so returning students can keep their double room to themselves; and keeping specific beds empty in rooms where the occupants agreed to be hosts to visiting students.
