FWIW, somewhere in my files, is an article and other quotes talking about the housing shortage there being the reason.

It isn't normal to me either, and I'm trying to just stick to the facts like that without speculating, (not sure where this would fit into any theory even if I were)

but...

IMHO, it doesn't seem abnormal for him, if you read everything on my profile and elsewhere about his personality/hobbies, etc. according to his friends, teachers, etc.

And a very very close friend of mine who spent an entire semester living "homeless" the same way. lol He was a "Gypsy" type too... Brilliant, came from a well-to-do home, is Catholic, and he now has a PhD and is married to a Lawyer. lol

Abnormal, yeah, but...

He could have moved in the dorm -- no housing shortage in the dorms back then and there were less students then there are now.

Norman has NEVER had a housing shortage for students. There are FOR RENT signs out all year long around here and have been for years.

Where are you getting your information? I live in Norman, we have no more towers than anyone else and the students certainly didn't have a housing shortage. The Commons were here back then as well as a lot of OU upper division students lived there.

Why would OU have courses for people that climb towers -- we have no schools dedicated to electronic technicians. OU does not award a General Engineering degree.
