A. Such type of project should not be an initial step in a dormitory program. B. This type of housing might impair the future of the dormitory program by placing it in a bad light with students and faculty. C. It might be subject to public criticism. D. T h e initial cost would be prohibitive. E. T h e distance of the Stadium from the campus. F. T h e price which would have to be charged for the accommodations. 3. T h e committee is unanimous in its opinion that the University should start on a program of dormitory facilities for men as soon as possible—a longterm program looking toward a series of units to be constructed according to the demand for such facilities and resources for financing them. 4. T h e committee further unanimously recommends that the University establish an approved list of houses for m e n ; that contracts be provided by the University to be used by house mothers and students in such houses only, and that the University insist upon enforcing the contracts only in approved houses. As a practical measure it may not be possible to establish such an approved list for the year 1937-1938 because due to the anticipated increase in enrollment probably every available room, good or bad, will be required. 5. T h e committee suggests that details in its recommendations will need further study and consideration, and awaits further instructions.

This matter was referred to the Committee on Student Welfare for consideration and report.
