Another suggested solution would
be to require birth certificates for the
privilege of reposing on the steps and
denying admission to all under 21.
Our esteemed lawmakers might even
be prevailed upon to pass legislation
imposing a heavy fine upon those
who falsified their identification.
Then, too, admission might be
based upon scholarship, only those
with four point averages being ad-
mitted. This would automatically
eliminate all but the professors, but
something might have to be done
about them.
In any of these possible solutions, a
system of pathways would have to be
devised to allow people who have
classes in the buildihg to arrive with-
in an hour of the designated time.
Ushers might be hired to conduct
students through the maze to the
door. or a system of ropes might be
introduced to guide their faltering
steps.
Whatever is done to alleviate this
serious overcrowding, should be done
quickly.

To Hold Dance
Ed Morehous and his veterans'

at the second League House Tea
Dance which is to be held from 2 p.m.
to 5 p.m. tomorrow in the League
Ballroom.
Coeds of zones I, II, III, and VI
will be the hostesses for the mixer

zones and women who live in private
homes may attend the affair. As-
sembly membership cards should be
procured before the dance.
All -campus men, especially veter-

With the advent of spring, Michi-
gan coeds turn to thoughts of ice
cream cones, tennis, bicycles, sitting
on the library steps, and taking long
walks in the warm, spring sunshine.
All of which makes us think Ann Ar-
bor isn't so bad after all, at least, in
the springtime.

All women wishing summer hous-
ing should apply at the Office of the
Dean of Women as soon as possible,
where they will be referred to vacan-
cies. No room assignments will be
final until a contract has been signed
and a deposit paid.
Since the announcement last week
about supplementary housing for the
fall term, the Office of the Dean of
Women has had hundreds of room
applications, and women students
now on campus who have not made
application for fall room assignments
are urged to apply immediately. .
Many women are being referred to
league houses and are signing con-
tracts daily. Since within the next
few weeks it is expected that stu-
dents not on campus will be referred
for housing, this is the opportunity
for those on campus to apply.
Parents May Contact
Students Registered
For Baby-Sitting
Parents who would like to employ
University students to take care of
their children, especially in the even-
ing, may contact the Office of the
Dean of Women, where they will be
given the names of those women who
have applied for work as baby sitters.
At present the Office has the
names of 44 women who have applied
for this paid employment, and has a
record of their free hours. As farI
as possible the Office of the Dean of
Women will refer parents to students
living in their neighborhood, as wo-
men acting as baby-sitters must keep
