These are the fourth and fifth in a series of articles on foreign universi-
ties under consideration for adoption. Information concerning the Univer-
sity of the Philippines was supplied by Rafaelita Soriano, a former student
there and now a graduate student here. A Michigan student who left the
University of Tsing Hua in January of this year furnished the information
for the article Tsing Hua.

Club Surveys
Fall Housing
One New League
House Will Open
Two sections of town were covered
in the week-long housing survey con-
ducted by 19 women of the Univer-
sity Alumnae club, and one house
was found which will be converted in-
to a league house next fall, the of-
fice of the Dean of Women announc-
ed.
No vacancies were available at 353
of the 431 places visited, but 48 reveal-
ed possibilities which will be followed
up. Fifteen houses have space for
undergraduate girls and ten for grad-
uate students. Five houses will take
a girl who will work for room and
board.
The survey covered approximately
20 blocks on both sides of the street

The surveyors said that Ann Ar-
bor has "just about" reached a satu-
ration point as to student housing.

Menton Cites
Race Problems
At IRA Meeting
"Labor has made efforts to clean
its own house of racial discrimination
and has also attempted to write non-
discrimination clauses into con-
tracts," Stoyan M. Menton, instruct-
or of the Workers Education Service,
said before a meeting of the Inter-
Racial Association.
Mr. Menton, formerly education di-.
rector of the Ford Highland Park
Local' (UAW-CIO), claimed, "A good
job has been done within the factory,
but the job remains to be done in the
community. Nobody has done
enough."
Mr. Menton told how favorable
economic conditions have eliminated
prejudice to some extent, but warn-
*ed that there would be flare-ups as
the reconversion program went into
effect.
"Non-segregation of workers in the.
plant and union has helped in the
fight against dis.crimination. As people
* get to understand each other, discri-
mination becomes less.
Mr. Menton spoke in place of Prank
Marquard, educational director of the
International Union, United Auto-
mobile, Aircraft and Agricultural Im-
plement Workers of America (UAW-
CIO), Local No. 212, who could no$
speak as previously scheduled.
