comments after contacting
students who were obliged to

favorable."
He noted the speed and

"If there were any more

last week.
Corridor parlors were con
verted into rooms and tempor-
recreation rooms ot tne itesi-

exceeded its 500 bed capacity.
A total of 548 girls and three
graduate counselors r e gi s

with 34 was also full to capaci

students are being housed in

are being rented on the month'

meals in the Student Union.
Sigma Delta Tau girls are
residing in the Residence
