Bromage, Assistant Dean of Women, said recently. Revised Election System There are at present 1,000 more women enrolled than there were two Revising what was considered an antiquated election system, the Coun-1 years ago, but there is no additional housing, she pointed out. In fact, cil has revamped it to meet the needs she said there are seven fewer ,converted fraternity houses for girls than of the campus. there were last year. The changes in election procedure Despite the opening of Victor Vaughn House and of 15 more league houses during the past year, there are at present no rooms available for women in University -sponsored hous-r brought about by the Council were the result of dissatisfaction with ear- lier election methods. The new sys- tem seems to be adapted to campus needs. Seven Organizations Represented The Men's Judiciary Council is composed of seven members, repre- senting the male students on campus. It is composed of representatives from the Union, the Engineering Council, the Inter-Fraternity Council, The Daily and the Men's Congress. The latter organization has not been1 active during the war period. In addition,the president andssecre- tary of the Council are chosen by the outgoing members. At the present time, Charles Wal- ton is president of the Council and Richard Mixer is secretary. i Between 800 and 1,000 World War II Vets Will Register, Tibbitts Predicts es. New House Filled Immediately The housing survey, conducted by the Ann Arbor Alumnae Club in July, turned up one new house, which was filled on the day it was found, and a number of possibilities. Victor Vaughn, which housed med- ical students in service this past year, will be open to women for next year only, but it has been filled almost immediately from the waiting list. The survey revealed that there are a number of private homes the owners of which will rent a room to students or allow him (or her) to work for his room and board. "You do not get college life in a situation like this," Mrs. Bromage warned. "A student's living arrange- ments are as much a part of college as the classes she attends. Shes needs to live with other students." Can Live in Private Homes Since the housing problem is co acute, women undergraduates may obtain special permission from the Dean of Women to live in private homes if the parents write a letter giving approval. Women will not be admitted to the University unless they have a con- tract for a room. The Office of the Dean of Women is sending post- cards to all students who are regis- tered, requiring that each itt her Ann Arbor address. In addition to the dormitories - Mosher-Jordan, Stockwell, Newber- ry, Betsy Barbour, Adelia Cheever and Mary Markley -ten auxiliary dorms will be open. Eight of them - Geddes House, Ridgeway, Colonial, Oakwood, White, Hill, Madison and Lockwood Manor - are converted fraternity houses that were used last year. Baldwin House and the present Cy Adams House will house women for the first time this year. Cy Adams, the former Psi Upsilon house at 1000 Hill, will be re-named by the women. Fifteen New Houses League Houses number 73 this year, an increae of 15 houses and 180 accommodations. A league house is a residence in which rooms are rented to undergraduate women stu- dents under the supervision of the University. Standard rents and fa- cilities are set by the University and campus regulations are in force at these houses. The Inter-cooperative Council is still taking applications for the fall.! Three houses will be open to women students other than freshmen. They are Owen, Lester and Stevens Houses. There will be limited accommo- dations for men at East Quad this year and at West Quad, as before. Fletcher Hall will also be open, and Nelscn House will be used by stu- dents of foreign nations. Largel ROTC Is Expected Expansion of the University Re- serve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) is expected at military head- quarters here to begin this fall. A headquarters officer is now attend- ing a meeting at a military estab- lishment in the south at which the future of the ROTC program is be- ing discussed. An announcement of ROTC plans will be made upon his return 'at the end of the month. More than 1,135 freshman students are expected to enroll in the Uni- versity for the fall semester, it was annoutnced yesterday. This figure is only an estimate, University admission officers said, pointing out that "almost anything can happen between now and Nov. 1. Total University fall enrollment is expected to top 9,500. Of this number, Clark Tibbitts, director of the Veterans Service Bu- reau, has estimated that between 800 and 1,000 fall registrants will be -veterans of World War II. With the University facing its most critical housing shortage in years, Y yRobert P. Briggs, vice-president in charge of finance, announced that out-of-state undergraduate women will not be admitted this fall unless they have obtained housing accom- modations. Emergency housing facilities are sought for 550 women who have al- ready been admitted to the Univer- sity and a study is being made to determine how many additional res- idents existing dormitories are able to take. 4,350 Women Expected An enrollment of 4,350 women is expected this fall. This number rep- resents an increase of more than 1,200 over the 1944 fall coed enroll- ment. On the building side of the picture, the University is rushing plans for three new student housing units, which include a men's dorm, wo- men's residence. hall, and a married students apartment project. Capacity of the two residence halls will be approximately 1,000, while the apartments will accommodate more than 176 married couples, most of them World War II veterans and their. wives. University President, Dr. Alexan- der G. Ruthven, has estimated that as many as 18,000 students may en- roll here one year after complete armed service demobilization. $27,000,000 for Construction Meanwhile, the physical face of the campus is well on-the road-to, be lifted. {. University spokesmen, have dis- closed that plans for the new $1,500,- 000 General Service Building will be completed Jan. 1, 1946, and construc- tion on the project "will begin as soon as building material is avail- able." Plans for several of the Univer- sity's postwar projects are being com- pleted and federal planning appro- priations amounting to more than $50,000 have been allocated to the University. First on the priority list after the residence halls and the General Ser- (See ENROLLMENT, Page 2) Veteran Group May Be Vital In Campus Life The newly formed Veteran's Or- ganization on the Michigan campus is still in the early stages of develop- ment and its position in student af- fairs has yet to be determined, ac- cording to Jack Weiss, publicity di- rector. Its future, he said, depends largely on the incoming veterans who can make it a vital part of campus life. At the present time the Veteran's Or- ganization is ,a social and Efraternal group with a membership of 50 stu- dents. Out of the 300 veterans on campus 181 are eligible for member- ship. The eligibility requirements are 1) you must be an honorably discharged veteran of this war; 2) you must maintain at least a 2.0 average which is required for all extra-curricular ac- tivities on campus. Many students find their program too heavy to en- gage in outside affairs, but if the above prerequisites are fulfilled they may join. "The Veterans' Organization is a key to the veteran's introduction to campus affairs and they will find a warm reception and friendly help ex- tended to them," Weiss said.
