The charge ad- the Angell Hall steps and let the law of supply and demand take care of the rest. 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. Uu . yvi y yJ tY tOsU LAX 'ALL 3 iL Sunday at the Engine arch.

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. r> x' fi' "1;< t / d 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 University closing hours.
