CHANGE IN REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION T O C U R R I C U L U M IN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

(4) The requirements for admission to the curriculum in Industrial Design in the College of Fine and Applied Arts include one and one-half units of algebra and one unit of plane geometry. The University Senate recommends that this requirement be discontinued effective September 1, 1952. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Hickman, this recommendation was approved.

ASSIGNMENT O F UNIVERSITY HOUSING T O STUDENTS

(5) Assignments of quarters in the temporary housing for men and for married students are made in accordance with a policy adopted by the Board of Trustees on January 31, 1946. Since these buildings were secured from the United States Government for the housing of returning war veterans, we complied with the federal regulations then in effect. At that time there were more applicants for housing, especially for family quarters, than could be accommodated. The buildings have now been given to the University and the federal regulations no longer govern their use. The policy, however, does not permit the Housing Division to assign family quarters to nonveterans even though units may be vacant and nonveterans may be in need of such facilities. The Director of Housing, the Dean of Students, the Director of the Physical Plant, and the Comptroller recommend that the regulations governing temporary housing be revised as indicated below. I concur. Revised Regulations for Assignment of Temporary Family Housing Units 1. Veterans of the armed forces of the United States on terminal leave or final furlough or those holding an honorable discharge from some branch of the armed forces will be given preference in 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. Residents of the state of Illinois or applicants registered in the University at the time they were called into the armed forces will be given preference in the assignment of housing units. 4. Married applicants will be given preference over those who are unmarried. 5. Families with children will be given preference over those without children. 6. Applicants who have established a satisfactory record in the University of Illinois will be given preference in the assignment of units. 7. Other factors being equal, married veterans with physical disabilities will be preferred over those who are not disabled.
