I.t:Jili.. Courtesy of Review This year there were more people in extended housing than ever before almost 300. And Director of Hous- ing and Residence Life Stuart Sharkey said that next year there'll be even more, The housing shortage will con- tinue to be a erisis until 1984, said Sharkey. The significant year of 1984 is the predicted climax of the post-war baby boom, Experts say that all the children will run out and college enrollment will drop until dorms empty out. That, and the fact that construction rates will hike current room rates sky-high, has stopped the University from building new dormitories. Instead, 'campus' housing is ex- tended to area apariment complexes Paper Mill, South College, and Con- over, to the Cobb and Reid Houses, to the floor lounges of Dickinson and Rodney, basements of Warner and Smythe, empty linen closets, triples in doubles in Russell, Gilbert, Cannon, Smythe and Warner, and gquads in doubles Christiana. These temporary set-ups last anywhere from a week to two semesters, All students in tempo- rary housing receive a rebate from the University for their inconvenience. 17
