Students living in residence
halls may now secure "Application for Campus Residence" and
"Housing Agreement for the
Academic Year 1963-64" at their
residence halls.
These forms are to be presented at the cashier's, office for
extension of their deposits.
Presently enrolled students living off campus wishing to make
a housing deposit may obtain
the forms at the housing office
in Warriner hall.
In filing for dormitory, applications, students will be asked
to present a $100 prepayment by
August 15.
This deposit is required to
insure, that all space in dormitories will be occupied. In the
past, prospective students often
filed the former $20 deposit
only to insure housing if they
decided to attend Central. This
has resulted in unoccupied dor-J
mitory space.
The $100 deposit will serve as
an   advance   room   and   board-
payment.
The cashier's office will accept deposits or extensions of
deposits from. 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
May 13, 14, 15'and 16. According
to Lee E. Polley, director of
housing, the deposits should be
made early, with the application
and housing office copy of the
Housing Agreement completed.

"The potentials which present themselves to us are."
said Dr. Westie.
"(1) The faculty will sit down
with the administration and
work out the grievances.
"(2)   Should  the  administration disregard"the  information,
we would be forced to call in
Committee A (an ad hoc committee of the national body to
inquire into late notices).
■    "(3) They (Committee A) may
[say yes or no to the thought "of
investigation.  If they  say yes,
they will report their findings."
.When Dr. Barry Bort, another
AAUP member, was asked -his
view of the outcome of an investigation, he stated the procedure would .be for the committee to  "publish a report in
the    national   bulletin    from,

situation can be handled locally
