College Plans To Eliminate Windcrest Area The eventual evacuation of the Windcrest trailer development will become a reality as soon as the present tenants in the remain ing trailers terminate their leases, Otto E. Mueller, new director of housing, said Wednesday. To date, over 300 trailers of an original 350 have been evacuated and removed. The development was started in 1946 by the Col lege to house the returning mar ried war veterans. The trailers were purchased as government surplus and erected at Shortlidge road and College avenue. The general evacuation project was started three years ago. Over 50 trailers and utility buildings have been removed since Sept. 1. No new reassignments will be made to veterans, Mueller said, and the trailers will be removed as present tenants move out. Chief reason, Mueller said, for the evacuation and removal of the trailers is their condition. The trailers were purchased as gov ernment surplus after the war, he said, and some of them "had al ready outlived their normal lives." 6 Chem Faculty Attend Meeting Six faculty members of the De partment of Chemistry read pa pers at the recent meeting of the American Chemical Society in Chicago.

Customs Three freshman their made special effOrt yesterday to point out loopholes to irdsh advantage in the customs regulations as listed in the Student Handbook. Ted ghnon, William Mullen and a third freshman - who Wished to remain aiionyitiOUS said the ldopholes were being called to upper classtnen's attention "just for the fun of it," and they themselves had no intention of disobeying customs regulations. The most .astounding interpre tation of customs rules they made was that frosh traveling from east to west along the Mall need not doff their dinks when passing the Old Willow as is required by customs regulations. According to revolutions of the earth, the men calculated, the speed with which frosh travel from west to east along the Mall exceeds that with which the wil low tree• is moving. Fresh are therefore passing the tree and must doff their clinks. However, the three men pointed out, frosh walking from east to west are traveling slower than the tree, and are therefore passed by the tree. This is not the con dition set forth by Customs regu lations for the doffing of ditiks, they said. ' The board has extended hours of freshman women wishing, to at tend church mixers Saturday to 10:30 p.m. Name tags will be giv en freshman women at t heSe events, and must be shown to dormitory hostesses upon signing into the dorms.
