POLICY GOVERNING ASSIGNMENT O F H O U S I N G UNITS T O WAR VETERAN STUDENTS (4) After consultation with the Director of the Division of Special Services for W a r Veterans, the Dean of Students, the Acting Director of the Division of Student Housing, and the Director of the Physical Plant Department, it is recommended that applications for the occupancy of houses for war veterans be accepted and the houses assigned on the basis of the following criteria: 1. Only those persons on terminal leave or final furlough from the armed forces of the United States or those holding an honorable discharge from some branch of the armed forces are eligible for the assignment of housing units in this project. 2. Only those applicants will be considered who have previously been enrolled as students in the University of •Illinois, or who have qualified for admission. 3. Units will not be assigned for the use of applicants who are now occupying housekeeping accommodations in Urbana-Champaign. 4. Residents of the state of Illinois or applicants registered in the University at the time that they were called into the armed forces will be given preference in the assignment of houses. Assignments will be made from geographical areas within the State of Illinois in the same percentages as these areas had students enrolled in the University of Illinois in the normal period before the war. 5. Married applicants will be given preference over those who are unmarried. 6. Because of the local shortage of housing facilities open to families with children, such families will be given preference over those without children. 7. Applicants who have established a satisfactory record in the University of Illinois will be given preference in the assignment of units. 8. Other factors being equal, married veterans with physical disabilities will be preferred over those who are not disabled. 9. Other factors being equal, older applicants will be given preference over those who are younger. 10. Length of military service will be considered in the assignment of houses. 11. Date of application will have no bearing on the selection of tenants for the second semester of the school year 1945-1946. Applications will be received on and after December 15, 1945. Assignments will be made by February 1, 1946. 12. In the final selection, the total qualifications of the applicant will be considered. Eligibility on the basis of any one criterion will not assure the assignment of a housing unit. 13. T h e University reserves the right to waive any and all qualifications for assignment, other than those listed in Item 1, if applications from qualified persons have not been received by February 1, 1946, in adequate numbers to assure the occupancy of all units.
