W H A T COOPERATIVE H O U S I N G IS AVAILABLE? There are six Cooperative Houses for Women in ChampaignUrbana which accommodate about 150 women students. Three of these are managed by the University (Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Houses) and the other three (Wescoga, 4-H House, and Stratford House) are privately-run. Members are picked on the basis of need, scholastic attainment, and superior qualities of character and personality. If you wish to apply for membership in the University-owned cooperatives, you should get an application form from the Housing Division, fill it out, and return it with references attached. Then you arrange for an interview with the Assistant Dean of Women, who is responsible for assigning space in the University residences. If you want to apply for membership in one of the privatelymanaged cooperatives, write to the Housing Division to find out who the Presidents or House Directors are. Then write the President or House Director concerned to work out details. The only officially recognized cooperative house for men is Nabor House. You must be enrolled in the College of Agriculture before you can be considered for membership in Nabor House. New members are picked by the active members of the group. If you live in a cooperative house, for either men or women, you are expected to do at least an hour's work each day. This arrangement makes it possible for these units to keep your monthly room and board bill (as of Spring, 1950) down to about $40. W H A T H O U S I N G IS AVAILABLE TO GRADUATE W O M E N ? Most graduate women live in private homes during the regular school year. Some of these homes are inspected by the Housing Division and are run according to University standards. The average home that graduate women live in holds from one to five women. Of course there are a few houses that hold more. During the Summer Session only, graduate women can get rooms in undergraduate student homes. If you are a graduate woman and want a place to live during this Session, you should ask for applications for space from the Housing Division after April 1 — after your "transcript of credit" forms have been accepted by the Office of Admissions and Records. You then return the application to the Housing Division. If you are a graduate student, you might be able to rent a small apartment, but the chances are slim. The Housing Division keeps a courtesy listing of apartments, and has detailed inforCooperative House Kitchen 19
