TODAY Two thousand students crowded Villanova for the opening of the 1946 fall semester, while one thosuand more enrolled in the Saturday and Evening sessions. Some confusion naturally resulted from this large influx—on increase of over one thousand regular students. The arranging of schedules became complicated, and long lines in the corridors were unavoidable. As classes were held from eight in the morning until eight in the evening, it was now commonploce to see students leaving for home or dormitory long after darkness had fallen. The consequent acute housing problem forced students to use the Field House for living quarters while surplus army barracks were being assembled. Most dormitory rooms, used for two men before the war. now housed twice that number. The cafeteria wos taxed to the limit as long lines, much to the chagrin of veterans, formed at all meal hours. With the country encountering the molt terioui shortage of educa- tional facilities in history, the college odministrotors started lost year to secure additional housing facilities for votorans. When it become evident lost summer that these projects would not be com- pleted for the opening of the fall semoster. further steps were token. The huge main floor of the Field House was transformed into o temporary dormitory while work on the barracks wos ex- pedited as much os possible.
