The biggest change in the calen- dar is the lengthening by about, four days of the period between the end of Christmas vacation and, the end of classes for the first semester. The period has in the past been called too short to accomplish much in the classroom. The new provision allows the second semester schedule to run about one week later than the schedule for the 1959-60 year. The calendars will be as follows: First Semester, 1960-64 Orientation begins Sept. 12 Registration: Sept.,14 to Sept. 17 Classes begin (law school): Sept. 13 Classes begin (other units): Sept. 19 Thanksgiving recess: Nov. 23-27 Christmas recess: Dec. 17-Jan. 2 Classes End: Jan. 21 Examination period: Jan. 23- Feb. 2 Midyear graduation: Jan. 28 Semester ends Feb. 4 Second Semester, 1960-61 Orientation begins Feb. 6 Registration: Feb. 8-Feb. 11 Classes begin (law school): Feb. 6 Classes begin (other units): Feb. 13 Spring recess: April,1-9 Classes end: May 31 Examination period: June 2- June 13 Commencement: June 17 The 1961-62 calendar follows a similar order, although each event is scheduled one day earlier, and spring vacation runs from April 7 through 16. of the administration to serve on the Committee. The Vice-President for Student Affairs will also sit on the com- mittee as an ex-officio member without vote, as will the ninth member, a University alumnus appointed by the president. Criteria for review will now include procedural irregularities, jurisdictional questions or "un- reasonable action" on the part of SGC. The changes in the Board in Review are not the only altera- tions made in the original plan by the Clarification Committee, although they are perhaps the largest ones. The functions of the Council, listed in the original Plan, have been revised somewhat in the process of clarification. The first change in the section on "Func- tions" modifies the phrase in the original Plan which reads "In ac- cordance with Regental and ad- ministrative policy" to "In ac- cordance with Regental policy." Record Budget To Operate 'U' During Year (Continued from Pagel1) (Continued from Page 1) but It will cumulatively increase each quarter." Use Quarter System The Dearborn Center will oper- ate on a quarter system the year around, Stirton said. "Each quar- ter is identical with the others, and we will have no high or low spots as far as enrollment fluctu- ation, goes. "We are going to accept enroll- ment applications until the day before classes begin for the Sep- tember quarter. We can do this because we aren't crowded yet; We still have room for more," Stirton said. Last year's Flint College enroll- ment was approximately 400 stu- dents, and officials expect enroll- ment at that unit to remain steady for this year. Elsie Fuller, assistant dean of women, explained that the dean of women's office would accept hous- ing applications until the admis- sions office put a limit on the number of applications they could take. Creates Vacancies Last year, Mrs. Fuller said, clos- ing down Jordan Hall for plumb- ing repairs created "vacancies," because the Jordan space was not actually utilized; the women who would have lived in Jordan Hall were moved into Mary Markley dormitory, and thereby reduced the capacity of Mary Markley by that number. Also, she continued, there were about 100 spaces in Mary Markley that were not ready for occupancy by the time students moved in last fall, and when these were finished, the dean of women's office allowed some women from Victor Vaughan and Couzens to move in, thereby creating vacancies in the latter dormitories. This year, Mrs. Fuller empha- sized, there will be room for all of the women students who must live in University dormitories, and the dean of women's office does not anticipate -any ,vacancies. To Close Mosher Just as they did last year with Jordan Hall, though, the Univer- sity will close down Mosher Hall for repairs, and install the for- mer * Mosher residents in Mary Markley for this year, which will again reduce the actual Markley capacity by about 250. University women students, for the most part, are housed in Uni- versity . dormitories, or sorority houses and annexes, with a much smallerpercentage of women liv- ing in cooperative houses, league houses and apartments. By far the largest dormitory, Mary Markley is also the newest. With a capacity of 1,170 students, Markley sits atop a hill behind the other women's dormitories on "The Hill," and was first opened for occupancy last fall. Unique Residence Fletcher Hall, which houses 79 students, offers a unique way of living for women students who desire a room, but who may want to eat their meals elsewhere than in the dormitory. It offers resi- dents the opportunity tortake a meal job if they desire. University cooperatives - Hen- derson, Geddes and Cheever - combine the advantages of small- group living with economy. Wom- en students work a few hours each week in the house, and in return they pay a much reduced rate of room and board. Geddes is the smallest of the three University cooperatives with 26 students, while Cheever has 29 and Henderson is the largest with 30 residents. Operating under the University dormitory system but with a pri- vate bequest, Martha Cook dormi- tory houses 151 women in a stately residence next door to the Law Quadrangle, which was also the result of William Cook's bequest. Sororities Build Sorority houses and their an- nexes are expected to house ap- proximately 1,300 women this year, Elizabeth Leslie, assistant dean of women, said. A number of houses have in- creased their capacity by moving, building additions to existing houses, or acquiring annexes, she said. Alpha Gamma Delta sorority is one which has added on to the existing house, Mrs. Leslie noted. By constructing a facade and joining the annex to the main house next door, the Alpha Gams have increased the capacity of their house from 40 women to 72, although they plan to house only 65 women this fall. Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority has also added to their existing house, and thereby increased the capacity to 63. Last year the sorority could house only 50 women. Alpha Xi Delta sorority has built a brand-new house for Its members, and will this year house 65 women in it. The previous capacity of the sorority was 18 in the main house, and 35 in its annex; the new house has a capa- city of 70, although all will not be utilized. the spacel Phi Mu sorority has purchased3 the Phi Chi fraternity house, and will be able to house all its mem- bers in one building, although it will not actually have more room than it did previously. Last year, the sorority housed 22 members in the main house and 22 in the annex, and this year the new house will hold 43 members. Plan Annexes Kappa Delta and Chi Omega sororities are both hoping to have their own annexes; Kappa Delta will house 10 in the annex they are planning to buy, in addition to 42 members in the main house, while Chi Omega can house 50 in the main residence and hopes to put nine in its annex. According to Mrs. Leslie, the dean of women's office is still placing transfer students in some of the sorority houses, but "all spaces in the houses and annexes will be filled." The three men's dormitories have a combined capacity of 3,328 students; individually, East Quad- rangle has a capacity of 1,050, West Quadrangle has a capacity of 1;049 and South Quadrangle, the newest of the men's dormitor- ies, has a capacity of 1,229. As they did last year, Tyler House and Prescott House in East Quadrangle will serve as graduate and transfer houses, respectively. Tyler House has a capacity of 118 students, and Prescott House will hold 121. Frederick House in South Quadrangle will also be a transfer house, with a capacity of 59 stu-1 dents. dAssistant Dean of Men William Cross predicted that the number1 of men living in fraternity houses' would be approximately 1,250 to 1,300 this fall. SGC To Offer Insurance; Set Higher Rates (Continued from Page 1) Health Service, expressed satis- faction with the new program. "Although costs have been in- creased and more benefits elimi- nated," Dr. Beckett commented, "the real purpose, which is pro- tection from disastrous occurance, is well covered." He went on to explain that fi- nancial hardship created by con- tinued illness is a large factor in causing drop-outs from the Uni- versity. Information concerning the policy and application forms will be available in the SOC offices at the Student Activities Building through Oct. 21.

This. will mark the first season during which each play will be presented four nights. The opera will run for five performances. Because of the added demand for tickets, the department this year added an extra night to each play's run. During the summer session the speech department playbill had sell-outs on 14 of 21 performances given. Staff Directors The speech department main- tains its own staff of directors. Prof. William P. Halstead will direct "Horse Eats Hat" and "The Way of the World" this season. Prof. Hugh Z. Norton will direct "Epitaph for George Dillon." The operas will have Prof. Jack E. Bender as director and Prof. Josef Blatt of the music school as musical director and conductor for the performances. Prof. Claribel Baird will direct "Look Homeward Angel" and "I Knock at the Door." "Horse Eats Hat" had its Paris premiere in 1851 and was revived in 1938 by Gaston- Baty at the Comedie Francaise. There are songs within the play, although this is not a musical comedy. "Epitaph for George Dillon" is co-authored by angry young man John Osborne whose play, "Look Back in Anger" was featured on the summer playbill. The work offers a portrait of a man who is a failure. "The Way of the World" is res- toration comedy, which features "delightful amorality." "Look Homeward Angel" is set in a North Carolina town in 1916. It involves the opposition of moth- er and son. 000 for non-salary accounts. libraries had been held on an terity budget during the year. The aus- past A total of $140,000 was added for the maintenance of buildings and operations in the plant de- partment, which received a net reduction of $107,000 in its oper- ating appropriation last .year. Niehuss noted that the amount given the plant department was one of the very few non-academic increases made. He indicated im- provements will soon be needed in non-academic areas. The budget received from the Legislature is six million dollars. less than the $39.2 million ori- ginally requested by the Univer- sity last fall. Governor Williams had asked the Legislature to appropriate the University $34.3 million. The final sum of $33.4 million was passed by the Legislature last month as it spent a record $100.9 million on higher education in the state.
