nf i though still evident, has given way to a more intimate atmosphere of quiet elegance. The lovely wing chair at the living room fireside provided the inspiration for much of the first floor's decor. Its crewelwork in jewel tones of gold, red and green set the color theme for many other furniture pieces in the home. Sunlight filters softly though glass draperies at the windows and french doors. The heavy over-draperies pick up the greens, golds and reds.

The warm oak paneling of one living room wall, which features bookshelves filled with many bound volumes and accessories, continues around to form a goodly portion of the fireplace wall. The home has two other fireplaces in addition to the formal one in the sypken living room. There's a brick one in the knotty pine-paneled family room on the second floor. The basement recreation room boasts a tremendous stone fireplace and separate cooking grill. Here, built-in cabinets and shelves line the oak paneled walls and a lighted trophy case displays Dr.

Jensen's many tennis awards. Den on First Floor A more formal retreat is the first floor den with its green and red leather furnishings and hi-fi console which sends soft music drifting out to adjoining rooms. Also on the first floor is the formal dining room. Nearby is the kitchen, which Mrs. Jensen points to with pride because of its efficiency.

Jensen moved into the handsome English Tudor residence at 339 N.

Leh AUentown, early this month, it marked the first time in the college's 116-year history that a president and his family have lived off-campus. Actually, however, the Jensens' new home Is but a stone's throw from the tree-studded grounds surrounding the school's main buildings. Familiar landmarks, such as the clock on the library tower, can be viewed from the home's front windows. The lady of the house considers this vantage point a great convenience. At noon, Mrs.

Jensen can watch her husband as he leaves the administration building and starts his walk across campus. "That's when I know it's time to start lunch," she says. Striking Structure The house, a massive three-story structure with many gables, presents a striking appearance. The vines which long covered it are gone removed to reveal the full beauty of the stone and stucco, crisscrossed in part with heavy rough-hewn timbers. The college-owned property underwent a rather thorough face-lifting before the Jensens moved in.

Much of the original landscaping remains but only after a great flurry of tree-trimming and pruning. Decorating magic transformed the home's vast and dark interior into a showplace of well-lighted and color-coordinated rooms. The spaciousness, al OFF-CAMPUS STUDY Desk work keeps Dr. Jensen busy off-campus as well as on. Here, he's shown in his second-floor home study, which is lined with shelves of books and mementos of college life.
