MAY PUT DORMITORIES
ON STATE u. CAMPUS
Committee investigates Means
to Carry Out Proposal at
Bloomington.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. May "a
Following the system at some Of the
larger universities of the country, a
movement has been started for dormi-
tories and organization houses on the
campus Of Indiana university. The
ultimate idea Of those behind the
plan at the state university is 10 nave
every student Of the university lis on
the campus.
Prof. c. NJ Hepburn Of the law
school, is at the head of the commit
tee investigating the proposal. lie is
investigating d plan which was intend
ed TO provide a means by which all
sOrOrities, fraternities. clubhouses and
dOrmitories could finally be situated
on the campus. Since the site OF the
university belongs TO the state the
trustees are powerless to grant free
sites. and this is one of the problems
which confronts Prof. Hepburn. An
other factor of the situation is that
many OF the organizations bulldog
new homes place mortgages on the
property. Should a mortgage be es-
seEtial for the construction of a build
ing il would be impossible, should the
state provide the site TO levy a mort
gage unless the legislature should
grant the privilege of a 99-yeaT Iease.
At Cornell. where the university
owns the campus, such leases are
granted with the privilege OF d re-
newal for the same length of time.
Such movements as the one here are
being started at Northwestern Kansas
and many other large universities.
DR.. Bryan has appointed a commit
tee to work with the end in view of
bringing the organizations and unor-
ganized students closer to the unlVer-
sity. DR. Bryan said mis- greatest hope
was to get all the students to live IS
closely together as possible, so as to
destroy the propensity toward class
segregation.
