Gibbons Hall Becomes Lay WOmen'S DOrmitOry
Famous Memorial Building at Catholic University
 Being Renovated for Feminine Registrants

Washington. D. C., Aug. A.
 (SpeciaD D-For the period of the war
 emergency at least. Catholic Uni
 yersity of America. is destined to
 have an ever increasing enrolment of lay women students who desire
 to live on the campus and to meet
 this need. the university authorities
 have begun to remodel historic Gib-
 bons Hall. to care for these feminine registrants.
 Rt. Rev. Msgr. Patrick J. Mo- Cormick, rector of Catholic Uni- versity. announces that the refur- nishing and interior changes of Gib- bons Hall will be completed in time for the reception of occupants at the fall turn, opening on October 9th, offering, especially to students from outside Washington admirable living accommodations. Men stu- dents who desire to live on campus will be domociled in Graduate Hall. where additional facilities are being provided.
 Gibbons Hall, which is a memorial to the late James Cardinal Gib- b0ns, is massive stone structure of modified Tudor or Early Perpen- diculaF Gothic type. It was opened for occupancy to men students in 1912. Early this year 1t was occu- pied by units of the Army Special ized Training program when the student-soldiers were stationed on the aamrlrQ Mnna lsailtt Q s,rg man elm dents found accommodation in other dormitory space available.
 To convert Gibbons Hall for the exclusive use of lay women students, the University authorities are chang ing the interior to provide for al commodious reception room or lounge with several smaller rooms offering accommodations and con veniences for the prospective fem- mine occupants, according to pr. gugepie 4. Leonard, dean of women.
 The enrolment of lay women at Catholic University has materially increased by reason Of the war eiIler- gency, and numerous requests for ln-eampns living quarters have come from students who could not be 10mociled elsewhere, In the school 9f nursing education alone, the I snFollment last term was in excess 1f l26 students. while courses in he Graduate School of Arts and sciences, the School of Law. the School of Social Science. the Speech md Drama Department. the School )f Philosophy and the School of Engineering and Architecture en- oiled an additional 260 lay women tudents.
