Economy Measure
Sees Coeds Move
Thirty-one coeds were moved from their rooms in three
dormitories and reassigned new rooms as an economy move
yesterday.
The women were moved from Mac Allister Hall, Grange
Dormitory, and Women's Build
ing and were given rooms in three
larger dormitories Atherton,
Simmons, and McElwain Halls.
The change was undertaken to
make it possible to close one-half
of the dining room in McAllister
Hall. •Residents of Mac Allister,
'Grange,. and Women's Building
eat in the Mac Allister dining hall.
Dean of Women Pearl . O. Wes
ton explained the transfer as .an
economy move, allowing the de
partment of foods to close one of
the two food lines in MacAllistel•.
Dropouts Cause Transfers
Weston said. the transfers were
necessitated by the number of wo
men who dropped from the Uni
versity between semesters and
since the start of the second se
mester.
This number was larger than
usual, she said.
Miss Weston said, however, that
the change in room assignments
was "not a surprise move."
As a further economy measure,
the fourth floor of Grange will
be completely closed off, Dean
Weston said. Women living there
will be reassigned rooms on other
floors of the dormitory. '
Objections Reported
Some of the women were re
ported to have objected to the
change.
.But, according to Dean
Weston, many of the transfers
were made at the request of the
women themselves.
Some of the women who did not
have to move did so in order to
be with their friends. Other chan
ges were made in order to allow
sorority women to be near their
suites.
Five women were moved from
Women's Buildihg, 12 from
Grange Dormitory, and 14 from
Mac Allister Hall.

Christ-Janer is a pioneer in the
movement to centralize fine arts
curriculums which began taking
shape in this country in 1950. He
has been writing and speaking in
behalf of the movement in New

"The essence of it," said Christ-

art, music, and theatre arts. The
affiliated departments which are

In the component departments

In discussion preceding the
straw vote general opinion, while
favoring a cut in the compensa
