The registrar pointed out,

want when they want, but
comments after contacting
students who were obliged to
take alternatives seemed
favorable."
He noted the speed and

This Year
"If there were any more
girls seeking residence I
don't know what we would
have done," said Helen Sny

houses reached full capacity
last week.
Corridor parlors were con
verted into rooms and tempor-
recreation rooms ot tne itesi-
dence Halls for women as it
exceeded its 500 bed capacity.
A total of 548 girls and three
graduate counselors r e gi s

on city campus. Terrace Hall
with 34 was also full to capaci
ty as were Fedde with 70 and
Love with 49 on Ag campus.
Graduate and International
students are being housed in
the Sigma Delta Tau sorority
house. When graduate regis

doubt will also be filled to ca
pacity with 32 women. Rooms
are being rented on the month'

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