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.

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.

At the same time, small build- ings are more likely to be in poor condition because they are apt to be less durably built.

"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. x x 11 LESS THAN '4I 2 WEEKS By KAY HOLMES Although some people disclaim the development of a mass cul- ture on a national level, the in- fluence of this increasing inter- est in cultural affairs is reflected in the record advance sales of ticket orders for the University Musical Society. F i g u r a t i v e 1 y 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.

One proven t way is to gain practical skills that supplement , your academic knowl ,\ edge. Then your services will be in demand no matter how specialized your field. Once in, you'll have the opportunity to prove yourself.. Katharine Gibbs offers a ciniair fu r rsefor speaking, a "ticket-rush" has been made at the Burton Tower Of- .fices of the Society in the first, week of orders placed for next) 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. i GGLU1V1; "III i1V 1AgG;1GGj. 11;fj GLIC ViL/- 1 I 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. ''65, Richard N.

Robert Sauve, assistant to the Dean of the literary college, hoped that the efforts to involve the, teaching fellow in the University community would be increased. He 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.
