Dr. Tigert speaks at the dedication of Flavet Village. Pre-war student distribution saw 1,200 men living on campus, with anot.her 1,500 in fraternity and rooming houses. In the face of a possible enrollment of 5,500, the University set about providing ample living space. Dormitory rooms, formerly occupied by two students were equipped to accommodate three, and plans were made for the construction of a new dormitory. The use of a nearby former Army Air base is also under con- sideration, should adequate quarters be unattainable elsewhere. Perhaps the most interesting step yet taken by the University toward supplying ample housing, was the erec- tion, on campus, of Flavet Village, for the use of veteran families having children. Consisting of one hundred small units, Flavet Village is now undergoing expansion, and as many new units as are needed will be added. This project, mo1'e than any other single move, is in- dicative of the determination of the University to offer to those who want it, that education which they so richly deserve.

HE week-end of November 16-18 saw the return of the traditional Fall Frolics celebration on the campus of the University. The Interfraternity Conference sponsored the affair, and procured Georgie Auld and his band to provide music. In keeping' with campus custom, the week- end featured a band concert in the University Auditorium, Friday evening, followed by fra- ternity functions. The big event of the week- end was the formal dance held Saturday night in the gymnasium. To co-education-hungry students, the spec- tacle of a girl-crowded campus was a joyous one. To all, the sight of the hordes of merry makers was heartening after the quiet of the war years. ' lQu . .UlQ 4-44' The band counts ten as Patti Powers hits a high wave in Stormy Weather .
