Because the university expected a number of cancellations and resigna- tions from the dorms the first weeks. five students were assigned to suites for four persons, with the hopes that the fifth resident could be moved to another room as cancellations occur- red. Dwight Boudreaux. housing director, went apartment hunting for students in an effort to find space. Local motels were also given an amount of business from roomless students. During the spring semester, the hos- pital complex was again utilized, but Boudreaux estimated that the univer- sity lost at least 250 students because rooms were not available. The director even priced trailers locally to see if they could be used as alternate facilities. Students from other countries, out of state, and out of parish fell victim to economics. They had no place to stay if they could not get rooms and had to consider attending other universities. The rearrangement of dorm occu- pants meant certain changes for some residents, especially the men of Millet dorm. Millet, the twin to Zeringue, shares a common lobby, which became the buffer zone as no men were allowed past the monitor's station, except dur- ing visitation hours. A ten-foot high wrought-iron fence was built around Zeringue dorm, after three incidents of breaking and entering and theft were reported. Dr. G. G. Var- varo, vice-president of student affairs. said he did not think it was other stu- dents, but off-campus persons causing the trouble. After the 510,000 French Quarter style fence was built, no incidents were reported. But some students disagree with the administrators' view of a fence for safety.
