New Housing Policy Expected
Implementation of new Uni
versity housing policy and a
Regents' rejection of more
new dormitories are antici
pated in the near future, ac
cording to G. Robert Ross,
dean of student affairs.
Speaking to the Student Sen
ate at its first meeting of the
semester, Wednesday, Ross
explained the administration's
stand on the new policy, rec
ommended by the Ad Hoc
Housing Committee last
spring.
"We are looking forward to
full implementation of the pol
icy as soon as possible," said
Boss, explaining that difficul
ties in filling the residence
halls kept the Regents from
immediately invoking the pol
icy. FRESHMEN IN DORMS
The new policy, enabling all
undergraduate students ex
cept freshmen to live off-campus
in University-approved
housing, was approved this
summer along with five guide
lines. The Regents employed the
first of these guide lines,

One thing that should not
change the projection is t h e

The Regents will not consider
new housing structures until
1969-70 at the earliest, accord
ing to Ross.

build again until there is a
backlog of students asking to

The Regents are charged by
law. he contended, to govern
the University and keep it on
a strong financial base.

"we were under a different
policy.
