announced

In comparison with last year's
figure of 286 units of aid, the num- ber has been cut to 109 for this
year. Fifty-fiv- e
men students and
fifty-fowomen students will
benefit from the program.
Counteracting the cut in .the
amount of aid to be given this year
because of decreased appropriations is the decreased demand on
the part of students for help. Dean
Jones said.
"The demand this year over and
above what we have is probably not
greater than it was last year," the
dean stated in explaining that the
cut will not have a very great
effect.
He attributed the decrease in
student demand to the loss of stu-- i
dents and the better financial con-- !
dition of students who probably
would have sought help.
Dean Jones anticipates a prob- lem in the assignment of NYA students to the different departments
on the campus because the demand
will greatly exceed the supply.

In former years, according to
Mrs. Sarah B. Holmes, dean of
women, there were from 25 to 50
for
in reservations
cancellations
the women's halls during the last
week before the opening of school.
This turnover, she stated, usually
cleared any waiting list
might exit. However, this year,
the cancellations in reservations
were very few, necessitating
the
opening of two new houses.
Patterson Annex, 273 South
Limestone street, was rented by the
University late Friday afternoon,
September 18, Mrs. Holmes said.
Ten workmen were employed Saturday morning to clean, and furniture was arranged that afternoon
in order that students might move
in Sunday.
The hou e. which accommodates
21 girls, is considered a new section
of Patterson Hall. Only freshmen
and sophomore women will reside
there. Residents have their meals
In the dormitory dining rooms and

the dormitory women. Mrs. Mary

Mrs. Holmes said that congestion
in this annex will probably be relieved later in the quarter, so that
only' 17 women will reside there.
House, located next
Hamilton
door to Patterson Hall on South
Limestone street, is the third cooperative house to be established at
the University. It houses 18 women
and the housemother, Mrs. Sarah

never worn these caps, regardless
of whether they attended the summer session or the second semester
of last year. These freshmen symbols are not to be worn in class
rooms or other places where hats
are usually removed.
Wearing of the beanies will continue until the homecoming game
or until Thanksgiving. Collier stated.' Custom may be' followed by
having the caps tossed into a bonfire. Scarcity of materials may
cause this part of the tradition to
be abandoned, however. Since It
will be impossible to purchase caps
for next year, tht University may
buy the present ones from the
freshmen at the end of the initiation period and have them cleaned
for use next fall.
Definite plans concerning these
matters will be formulated at the
first meeting of the student legislature. The group will convene at
7 p.m. Tuesday in room 204 of the
Union building and the session Is
open to the public. Several important bills will be introduced at
the meeting. Collier explained.
Men who have not secured their
caps should get them immediately
