According to Dean Ragan, by next September if room hasn't been found in the dormi- tories for the women "we will have to provide space in faculty homes or arrange for a house." If Ragan is suggesting that the college open a brothel, he may be in for some criticism from the parents of the exploited fe- males even though, financially, the proposal is both innovative and sound. Seriously though, what Ragan's proposal suggests is that per- haps it is time for the college to institute an expanded and more ag- gressive housing authority, one that would insure physically ade- quate rooms at rates within the compass of the student's budget. Through publicity and canvassing local landlords could be made aware of the college's needs, and then perhaps some sort of recipro- cal-responsiblity contract could be drawn up. In exchange for rea- sonable rates the college housing authority could insure that student tenants would maintain or improve existing apartments. Though it would entail an efficient and responsible organization perhaps an ASG committee or some independent student group could constitute this new housing authority, thereby eliminating the student-admini- strator enmity prevalently manifesting itself these days. Student of- ficials could inspect facilities, negotiate with landlords, compile a di- rectory of available rooms and settle prospective tenants. If there is a shortage of individual rooms, and the complaints of student hunters make this a looming probability, the college could purchase a number of houses, perhaps in a bloc perhaps not, to be di- vided into student apartments.
