The need for extension has been
an outstanding fact for some time.
For the past two years every avail
able space that could be used for
living quarters az the university has
been occupied over 1000 additional
students who have applied for rooms
for lack OF accommodations. To meet
this condition IN part 10 IS proposed

ance makes it possible. three resi-
dence halls. Even these wiz not

accommodating 30 20 40 students each.
The enrolment in the College OF
Commerce has practically doubled
within the last two years in spite
OF the fact that the two years course.
which used 10 attract about so stu
dents annually. has been dropped.
Il IS thought that this rate of growth

Although the departments OF
raining and chemical engineering
are Nseu cared for In the present

more modern ACCOMMODATIONS FOR the
departments OF mechanical electrical
