Shiel. The Quad Council made the survey because of a "constant parade of resident complaints." Lit- School Senior Announcements complaints ranging from un- c o m f o r t a b l e double-decker bunks to long cafeteria lines. Council representatives were es- pecially fearful of an overload in the cafeterias if South Quad- rangle residents are required to eat their meals in the West Quad next Fall. Questioned Quad men over- whelmingly condemned the "Navy" tables which serve as desks in some of the rooms. They also hit "inadequate" closet space and the lack of bookcases. COUNCIL SERVICE committee chairman Tom Massnick, '50. as- serted that the type of "home away from home" group living embodied in the Michigan House Plan could be realized only if the "normal amount of people were living in the Quad." "While the West Quad was built to accommodate 900 men, it now houses well over 1300," Massnick noted. Shiel agreed that many of the problems result from ,overcrowd- ing. But he said there would be no relief next fall nor until the new South Quadrangle is com- pleted. "We are always interested in getting constructive criticism, es- pecially when it comes from repre- sentative student groups such as the West Quad Council," Shiel added. A vast majority of the Quad residents reported poor lighting, soiled short blankets, dusty easy chairs and faulty radiator valves making it impossible to adjust room temperatures.
