Two apparently contradictory
trends highlight the housing scene
on college campuses across the
nation-large, luxury-typedormi-
tories and the intimate residen-
tial college concept.
Increasing student enrollment
coupled with overcrowding of ex-
isting facilities has led to the
rapid development of additional
university housing. But a new
concept of privately-constructed
and owned dormitories within'
easy reach ot fhe central campus:
is developing at large schools such
as the University of Pennsylvania
and the University of Wisconsin..
These "private" dormitories of-
fer the greatest luxury of any
type of housing unit and are also
the most expensive. At Ohio Uni-
versity, new nine-story buildings
are being opened which can house

dorms. A similar situation prevails
at Chicago's Northwestern Uni-
versity.
The current trend toward high-
rise buildings of five stories or
more is due not only to factors
in their favor but also to the lim-
itations of small buildings. Great-
er student capacity per building;
makes it possible to include more
recreational and social facilities..
At the same time, small build-
ings are more likely to be in poor
condition because they are apt to
be less durably built.

"L o u i smUntermeyer's speech.
"What Americans Read a n d
Why"was filled with puns deliv-
ered deadpan, hands in pockets,t
eyes innocently watching thet
audience's laughter. He spoke as1
part of the Creative Arts Festival.
He began by explaining that!
the purpose of his speech was to'
refute his son's contention thatt
the speech should have been tit-!
led. "What? Americans Read?".
Untermeyer divided the 28,55'
new books on the market today
into two categories-the escapej
novel and literature. After lis-
etning to him for only a fewI
minutese, one might have expect-
ed his definition of the escape
story, "one read in the slick
magazines by women over 40 ane
under hair dryers; a book like an
aspirin when you have a head-
ache."
Defines Literature
He sobered to speak with an
admiring but slightly whimsica'
reverence of the second type of
book on the market, the book that
one reads "not to escape but tc
participate, not to shun th
world but to enter it with more
awareness."
"Literature consists of t h c
books by which we get in touclh
with great personalities," Unter-
meyer explained. "In a way thij
greatness can rub off on us and
can remain in fits and starts tc
ennoble us long after we have
read the book."
To lighten the tone of the leo-
ture once again, Untermeyer re-
turned to the escape book the
type ready by all children,'with
the quip, "practically everyone in
this room has been a child at one
time or another. There are those
of us of course who are born old
and remain infantile but. . ." The
rest of the sentence was eclipsed
by laughter.
A child's attraction to the fair3
tale is based on the fact that "the
airy tale almost inevitably deah
with the neglected and under-
privileged child, and every chil
considers himself neglected and
underprivileged," he explained.
Modern Writers
A witty and whimsical serious-
ness came over Untermeyer again
when he said, "We may have left
our cultural swaddling clothes to
look upon real life in all its dis-
coveries." The modern writers
"are real people with love in their
veins. Since they live on a more
intense scale than we do, we can
touch them to make our live:
more intense."
'How To' Books
Novels alone were not the sole
victims of Untermeyers wit. He
spoke of the great popularity of
non-fiction, especially of the
"How to. . ." books. He suggested
such titles as "How To Build An
Antique Coffee Table Out of Your,
Discarded Orange Crates" and
"How To Outwit Your Husband
Twenty-Four Hours A Day."
Untermeyer appeared to be
thoroughly enjoying himself when
he admitted that our cultural
"renaissance" in America may be
endangered by television and
computers. He previewed the
possibility that "the screen will
get larger and larger, a whole
wall, then two walls, then three
walls and then a whole world of
television!"
Computer Sitters
Regarding computers he pro-
jected "soon we may become
computer sitters to sit by the
computers to see that they are
quiet and relaxed. They'll have
emotions, fall in love. . ." and his
eyes sparkled as he enjoyed his
exaggeration and the audience't
laughter.
Untermeyer seemed to enjoy
his jokes as much as the audience
which is saying rather a lot.

NSF Gives
Math Grant
By LANCE SILVIAN
Prof. Maxwell Reade of the
mathematics department and di-
rector of a project on complex
variables and functional analysis,
has announced that a group of
University professors has received
a grant of $66,000 from the Na-
tional Science Foundation to con-
tinue work on the project.-
Included in the group are Profs.
Fredrick W. Gehring, Allen L.
Shields, Charles Titus and Peter L.
Duren, all of the mathematics de-
partment.
Basing their subject matter on
complex variables and functional
analysis, the group is simply do-
ing research for tleir own satis-
faction. If the obcasion arises,
the results of the research will be
used for teaching or application
in technology.
Complex variables deal with
functions of complex numbers
which take on the value of a + bi.
The "i" is the square root of mi-
nus one, an imaginary number; a
and b are real numbers.
Functional analysis, the other
part of the project, deals with the
various aspects of functions such
as the maximum and minimum
values of the functions, and
shapes that the functions make
when graphed;,
When applying for the NSF
grant, Reade submitted a propo-
sal containing complete details on
problems to be solved with sug-
gested procedural methods. The
proposal was sent to NSF where
it was evaluated by a sub-com-
mittee, which decided to give the
grant for two years.
The Regents will use 20 per
cent of the grant for bookkeep-
ing purposes. The other 80 per
cent will go to the participants in
the program.
During the summer, a research-
er will receive pay from the grant,
which will allow him to work on
his own time. On a sabbatical pay
leave, the foundation will provide
the researcher half his salary,
while the school pays the other
half.
The foundation also provides
money for travel to meetings.
Members of Reade's group have
attended conferences in England,
Finland, Germany, Poland, Ice-
land, Hong Kong and Japan dur-
ing the past two months.

year's international presentations
at the University.
Executive Director Gail Rector
said ticket requests for the 22
concerts in three series, just half
of the year's total, have been re-
ceived. This equals six times the
requests tabulatedsafter the first
week of last year's sales.
Prices remain the same as last
year for the Choral Union and
Extra Series, although the Cham-
ber Arts Series prices have been
increased slightly to bring in reve-
nue sufficient to meet the costs.
This new record of advance sub-
scriptions reflects a gratifying.
trend . . . that more people are
going to more concerts. Similarly,
as interest has increased, the So-
ciety's annual presentations have
grown in the 'past six years from
26 to 46 major events performed
by visiting artists and organiza-
tions from around the world.
Increasing Variety
These include solo artists, sym-
phony orchestras, choruses, folk
dancers, operas, ballet, and an in-
creasing variety of chamber en-
sembles. It is evident that even
more concerts will be added in the
near future to accommodate the
demand in the University com-
munity; next year, for example,
the University Choral Union will
add a third performance of the
"Messiah".
Another aspect of the chang-
ing future now puts the University
Commencement before the May
Festival, dismissing over 20,000
students from this campus. Yet
sales this year are continuing to
be high, with already two of the
six concerts sold out.
Physical Limitations
With the increased interest in
Ann Arbor's cultural opportuni-
ties, the limitations are now physi-
cal ones. Limitations of the audi-
toriums preclude offering grand
opera productions such as the
Metropolitan Opera Company, and
the largest international ballet and
dance companies touring such as
the Royal Danish and Bolshoi
ballets, and the Moiseyev Folk
Ballet.
The immediate and pressing
challenge is to meet these physi-
cal needs, in order to properly
serve a most appreciative and sup-
porting Michigan public for the
performing arts.

en uppermost in mind.
A large complex of residence
halls built around a central "com-
mons" area are definitely in style.
These units closely resemble the1
relatively new Mary Markley Hall
and South Quadrangle, though
they have a wide range of sizesI
and facilities.
Residential College
A far different concept - the
small, intimate residential college
-is also being considered at many
institutions. The main concept
here is that classes, studying and
recreation can be integrated in a
compressed area for a small num-
ber of students.
Yet, this plan has its draw-
backs. Several institutions, not-
ably Stanford University in Cali-
fornia, have run into financial
obstacles in their residential col-
lege planning. The small number
of students which can be served
by such a unit often makes its
construction and maintenance fi-
nancially untenable.
Furthermore, all university-
sponsored housing is facing tough
competition from realtors devel-
oping off-campus luxury apart-
Iments. These new buildings can
offer students large, comfortable
quarters at a cost competitive with
the university offerings. The stu-
dents have additional freedom, a
loss of the stigma attached to
"quaddies" here and "dormies"
at Michigan State, and, often a
freedom from university restric-
tions.
This is not true in all cases,
however; at Michigan State, stu-
dents in off-campus housing must
comply with the two cardinal reg-
ulations: no possession of alco-
holic beverages and no entertain-
ment of the opposite sex in "un-
chaperoned living quarters."
Residents in off-campus hous-
ing have also suffered from ad-
ministrative crackdowns on un-
approved quarters. The Universi-
ties of Wisconsin, Illinois and Ore-
gon have all taken action in re-
cent months against off-campus
housing which does not meet ade-
quate safety and sanitation regu-
lations. Thus, up to 500 students
have suddenly found themselves
without a place to live, at least
temporarily.
The outlook for student housing
is a mixed one, featuring rapid
construction of a wide range of
new facilities to deal with the
heavy influx of new students.

Robert Sauve, assistant to the

that the efforts to involve the,
teaching fellow in the University

also urged increased supervision in
the training of teaching fellows.
With increased enrollment, the
inability of full-time faculty to
educate all students becomes strik-
ingly apparent. The gap is then
filled by the graduate student,
who, for various reasons, becomes
involved in the educational pro-
cess. This involvement is a crucial
factor in the undergraduate's ex-
perience.
