Monroe Hill Approved For Men

The University Housing
Committee has accepted a
proposal for the conversion of
two of the four dormitories on
Monroe Hill presently housing
undergraduate women to
dormitories for undergraduate
men next semester.

The remaining eight dorms
on Monroe Hill and the East
and West Ranges will continue
to house graduate students,
according to Housing Director
Ralph E. Main.

"The Smith and Davis
dorms on Monroe Hill will
house undergraduate women
with a maximum amount of
protection," Mr. Main
explained, "while the Long and
Mallet dorms will house
undergraduate men."

The four Monroe Hill
dorms selected to house
undergraduate men and women
hold approximately 114
students.

"The graduate housing
facilities at the Duke Tract
behind Copeley Hill are
scheduled to be completed
this August," Mr. Main said.

Teach-In Change

Restoration Director Wayne
Shannon announced Monday
that there will be a change in
part of the scheduled
community teach-in program
to be held Feb. 22 and 23 at

Judge Alfred Burka of
Washington, D.C. will replace
the former U.S. Senator from

reform. He has served as
Assistant U.S. Attorney and is
presently Judge of the Superior
