Battalion Staff
Many men assigned to temporary
quarters after too many men were
assigned to dorm rooms still did not
know their future place of residence,
Tuesday. The students were without
rooms even after Texas A&M Uni
versity claimed its “no shows” Mon
day evening.
Ron Sasse, assistant director of
student affairs, said the housing situ
ation .was too hectic to determine an
exact number of men without rooms.
Sasse said he thought a space
could be made on campus for every
overassigned student. He said addi
tional spaces would become availa
ble when some students withdrew
horn the University.
“Some students may have to re
main in dormitory lounges and study
rooms,” Sasse said, hut added that
the number of students living in each
room still be reduced to aboulh
He said some students will be pbj
in empty spaces in the Corps!
mitories.
Sasse also said room tees\vouli|
reduced for those students fora
live iu temporary housing.
I le did not know how longitwnj
take to settle the students on
new room rates.
“We- know it will take longer!
we’d like,” he said.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — A
jury has been chosen to hear the

head and wiped tears from her eyes.

"The charge against Marla Pitch-
