Wilson forecasts improvements—
Continued from page 1 with the college, McElhenie explained.
"Those students who live in organized living groups stand to benefit most because their chances for contact and interaction are best," McElhenie said. He said that students living in apartments would rarely share classes with the guy next door or in the same apartment complex.
One idea is similar to one employed by fraternities on campus. It involves using a separate room for study and another for sleeping dorm. This arrangement can be used voluntarily next year, McElenhie said.
Another change is the installation of telephones in individual rooms. In the past it took special privileges to merit the service.
A persistent cry has arisen for several years asking for room phones. Engineering problems have been cited as reasons for limited phone cables into the halls.
"Plans are afoot for telephones in student rooms," J. J. Wilson, director of housing, said. The delay is tied into engineering problems with the telephone company which is behind in work orders—not with approval, Wilson said. A plan to install room phones was passed by the Board of Regents last spring.
Wilson added in his explanation that the probable installation date would be in 1970.
Wilson outlined plans which will provide increased lighting on Irving Hill Drive and on each of the all purpose courts which lie adjacent to the men's halls.
"We would hope to have the all-purpose courts lighted by next fall," Wilson said. Tentative offers have been made and "we are waiting on an engineering study from the power company," Wilson said.
The lighting will not be a coin operated project as is found at other universities. Wilson said he believes a contract can be made with the power company to have an automatic time for lights to run and be switched off by 10 or 10:30 p.m. nightly, rather than install lights on a user pay basis.
Other changes indicated by Wilson include an increased emphasis on better food for cafeterias. One of the most common complaints aired in the past is the monotony and quality of the residence hall meals.
Fifteen per cent of this year's increased hall rates went for food, and not food handling, Wilson said. A steak a month is one of the highlights of this program. Next year Wilson hopes to offer a continental or late breakfasts on Saturdays and Sundays for

students who don't have Saturday classes and want the convenience of a late meal after sleeping in.
A "nice fishfood" is being considered for next year. The "fish delicacy"-probably shrimp four out of five times the first year—is also planned. "The fish delicacy brings a variety into the diet that helps the monotony of the thing." Wilson said.
Increased carpeting is also projected over the next few years, Wilson said. The only thing stopping carpeting now is money, he said.
DACH HOUSE
"Inevitably, we will have carpeting in student rooms but I hate to put a date on it." Wilson said. Carpeting has been laid in Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall (GSP) and plans include the carpeting of the hallways of Joseph R. Pearson (JRP) and Lewis Hall this summer. Wilson said.

Carpeting has made the hallways quieter and only negligible problems of increased maintenance have been experienced.
The Alumni Association has moved its offices to Sudler House, directly north of the A O Pi sorority house.
