HSU URGES ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP IN HOUSES

After hearing the report and recommendations of the committee investigating the House admission situation, the Harvard Student Union last night passed a resolution to the effect that the committee should continue its work, and until a more complete solution to the problem be found it recommended a plan of associate membership for those who are not admitted to Houses.

This would provide that many non-resident House members should be granted complete dining room, library, and House athletic facilities.

The Committee quoted figures and outlined the situation as it is at the present time. The report stressed the fact that the University's policy as to the size of the Freshman Class is not certain at the present time. Although a new House would solve the problem if the present college enrollment stays the same, the committee recommended the associate membership plan as a tentative alternative.

The committee pointed out, however, that although four out of six House Masters consulted approved of this plan, most of them explained that facilities are so limited as to allow only 10 or 20 men to be admitted yearly.

The committee will continue its investigation, and it was announced that the problem will be discussed further in the fall.
