<P> The School of Library and Information Studies (SLIS), the only American Library Association - accredited program in Oklahoma, offers a graduate degree (Master of Library and Information Studies) and an undergraduate degree (Bachelor of Arts in Information Studies). The impact of OU and SLIS on the history of libraries in Oklahoma is shown in the recent list of 100 Oklahoma Library Legends as produced by the Oklahoma Library Association . Two current faculty, one faculty emeriti, and numerous others associated with either the OU libraries or SLIS comprise nearly 10% of the list's members . </P> <P> Oklahoma requires, with few exceptions, that all freshmen live in one of the five residence halls . Three of these buildings are referred to as "the towers" (being 12 stories each): Adams Center, Walker Center, and Couch Center . Adams Center is split into four towers, Johnson, McCasland, Muldrow, and Tarman, all united by a common ground floor . Walker Center and Couch Center are each split into East and West wings . The fourth resident hall is quad Cate Center . The Academic Arts Community, more commonly referred to as Cate 5 or Honors is located directly above the honors college, David L. Boren Hall . Although it is commonly believed that this dorm caters only to honors students, a large proportion of non-honors students comprise the community . The three towers are all located around each other with the Couch Cafeteria completing the residence community . Couch Cafeteria is composed of several different themed restaurants that serves a wide variety of food each day . As of Fall 2007, over 3,900 students lived in one of these residence halls . Each residence hall has its own RSA (Resident Student Association) office, as well as its own computer lab and laundry facilities . </P> <P> Headington Hall, completed in the Summer of 2013, is the fifth major residence hall on campus and is located on the corner of Lindsey and Jenkins street . This new facility is named after Tim Headington, OU graduate and former OU tennis player . The housing facility cost 75 million dollars and contains 400 students (49 percent student athletes and 51 percent students who do not participate in intercollegiate sports). </P> <P> The university owns several apartment complexes around the campus . Some of these apartments were old and dilapidated, and the university has taken the strides to resolve this issue . Two brand new complexes owned by the university opened in recent years; OU Traditions Square East in 2005 and OU Traditions Square West in 2006 . </P>
