Proud of the fact that they are in excellent health, ten graduate students, unable to find a place to live, checked in at Stillman Infirmary last night.
It was all on the up-and-up, however, no simulated colds or fake fevers. Ever since Monday, when it appeared that students living outside of University halls would have trouble finding rooms, the Hygiene Department has been providing a small portion of their now 50-bed Annex for a few nights' lodging.
The charge for a bed is a dollar a night and with it come linen, blankets, bed lamp, hospital bed-tables, convenient plumbing-but no nurses: the Annex residents, it is clearly understood, are not patients. In fact, no patient has ever been assigned to the Annex, which has remained unopened ever since it was built last spring as a precautionary measure.
The men living in the Annext temporarily are all graduate students who were shunted over to the Mt. Auburn St. Infirmary by the housing office at PBH when they reported that they could not locate accommodations.
Since Monday, students have been moving in and out, although no more than ten have been there at any one time. Their understanding is that they will be able to stay until they can find a room.
A typical plight among the Annex inhabitants was that of Stanley Gizlenski, who registered for the Graduate School of Engineering on September 13, the same day he was discharged from the Army. He cannot find an apartment for his family and, since he has spent the last 37 months in Europe, he is anxious to get out of the Annex and start a home of his own.
Not so with Gary Chikasuye, however. A graduate student of architecture from Honolulu, Chikasuye is so impressed by his comparatively lush surroundings that he does not care if he ever ends a room.
