Women ' s Accommodations Main Problem In Housing A I State College the dormitorj is considered - - something more than mereK a suitable place for living and studying. A well-organized dormitory pro- gram plays an important role in the student ' s all-around development. Under the program of the Housing Office, each dormitory is organized much like a club, with elected officers and student counselors. In each of seven dormitories, faculty couples act as hosts, assist the occupants with their problems, and help to provide a homelike atmosphere. For married stu- dents the College has three hundred permanent efficiency, one ami two bedroom apartments, hut at the present time there are no accommodations what soever for States women students.
