Dormitory Facilities In Other

Colleges Demonstrate Worth

Big Ten SCA's
In Cooperation,
Clark Believes
A new movement for cooperation
among the student Christian associa-
tions of large universities was point-
ed out yesterday by Richard Clark,

er elements of competition to meetin Chicago Alumni Will

the experiences at many of the uni-'
versities can be accepted as adequate+
criteria, fraternities need not look
askance at the mention of dormi-
tories. On other campuses fraterni-
ties have made themselves more vital
in the lives of the students after hav-
ing dormitory competition so that,
regardless of the existence of dormi-
tories, the fraternities always attract
their quota of students. Thus fra-
ternities have managed to keep up
their finances as well as to offer the<
students who have the ability to pay
more than a dormitory could offer.
Effect Or Fraternities
At some universities the fraternities
have been absorbed within a general]
university housing system with fra-I
ternities existing alongside dormi-
Lcxries. Students, depending upon
whether they can afford to or not,
either join a fraternity or room in a
dormitory.
Still other universities report that
dormitories have hit the fraternities,
but the value of the dormitories in
providing housing for the majority of
the students instead of the select few
who can afford higher prices is ample
justification for the competition the
dormitories give the fraternities, if
the fraternities cannot offer more
to the students than do the dormi-
tories.
Townspeople Considered
In considering the townspeople
who were forced to close their houses
when dormitories were established,
many of the universities emphasized
that the installation of dormitories
to take care of the non-affiliated stu-
dents was so gradual that the people
renting rooms were not seriously in-
jured at any one time.
Then, too, it was shown that the
' disappearance of rooming houses has
seldom been complete for few uni-f
versitkes or colleges fully provide for
the entire men's student body. AlsoI
in several of the institutions the in-
crease in enrollment has progressed
more rapidly than have dormitory fa-f
cilities, so that extra-dormitory hous-
ing has remained necessary.
Outside Funds Obtained
In financing their dormitories the
majority of schools have receivedI
funds from the state legislatures and1
many have been the recipients of gifts
from alumni or friends of the univer-I
sities or colleges. Others received
loans or grants of money from the
government, while still others issuedI
bonds to raise the necessary funds
in order to offer adequate facilities
to the student body.
In none of the institutions, how-
ever, have funds for dormitories been
procured through student initiative,

as is proving necessary at the Univer-
sity of Michigan.
The most popular construction type
of dormitories has proved to be the
quadrangle which is divided into
houses, in turn divided into units ofj
from 20 to 30 men each, thus making

Probably the next meeting of the

DID YOU KNOW-
That "Touch-Control," the device
for adapting the key tension of a
Royal typewriter to the varying
stroke of different operators, is the
most imitated typewriter improve-
ment in recent years?
The Royal standard typewriter has
had this feature for over twenty
years, but it is just since its adap-
tation to the Royal Portable that it
has been so widely imitated.
Royal "Touch-Control" adjusts the
key lever tension on each of the 42
keys by means of a universal bar
which increases or decreases the ten-
sion on all keys at once. This, coup-
led with accelerated type-bar action,
makes a snappy, easy action in any
adjustment.
One imitation introduces tension
at the last end of the type-bar
stroke, creating a slowing-up, slug-
gish stroke. The other common im-
itation introduces tension on the rib-
bon universal, placing a drag on the
key action which is unpleasant to an
experienced typist.
Imitation is the sincerest form of1
