House Space Will Handle Vet Increase

Staggered demobilization of veterans and indicated continued drafting of 18-year olds will permit Harvard to get along with its currently open housing facilities through the fall term, Dehnar Leighton '17, Dean of Freshmen, said yesterday.

Smith, Gore, and Standish Halls will continue to operate as Freshman dormitories and not as Houses, Dean Leighton stated. With Freshman migrations being discouraged, Smith Hall will remain completely filled, as will every entry in Standish except one. Regardless of, any caprices of the Admissions Committee, a comfortable margin for error in entrance estimates exists in Gore, where 60 per cent of the rooms are vacant this summer.

Adams, Lowell Will House Vets

The unused space in Adams and Lowell House will provide living quarters for the entire influx of servicemen expected in the fall term. The House dining halls will be reopened, still on a cafeteria basis, and they will easily be able to accomodate the increase in the College population.

The Freshman housing situation is under complete control assured Dean Leighton. By five o'clock yesterday afternoon most of the summer term Freshmen had filed cards in University Hall indicating their rooming plans for the fall. No Houses other than the Winthrop and Kirkland "dormitories" will be open to the Class of '49 until the spring term, Dean Leighton said
