Watson said that the Freshman will have company in the Blockhouse in the form of about 70 more men, either transfer students and men returning from a leave of absence, or Law School students.

Freshmen Have Company

The Key to getting Freshmen out of the gym into regular rooms is the upperclassmen now assigned to the Yard. Unlucky House applicants from the Class of '51, totaling about 195, have been allotted suites in Wigglesworth and Grays Halls, the two Freshman dorms facing the Charles on Massachusetts Avenue.

Watson said that House Masters have been asked to take an average of ten extra men each as well as filling the normal vacancies that pop up in the fall.

"We want to keep the Freshmen together as much as possible," Watson said. "But we promised Wigglesworth and Grays to the non-House residents among the upperclassmen. It is up to them to decide where they want to be."

Yard Can Hold '52

If they prefer to stay in the Yard, some Freshmen will be forced to live in the outside dormitories. Under the present system of tripling up double suites, etc., the Yard can hold about 1200 men approximately the expected final size of the Class of '52.

About two-thirds of the basketball court in the Indoor Athletic Building is now covered with single, hospital beds, which Watson called better in most cases than many of the double deckers in regular rooms. There are chairs and tables nearby. Bedding will be provided by the University.

The fencing room has been provided with the study facilities and Watson said that another room will be set up if the demand warrants it. Following last year's recommendations, lights will be turned out at 10 o'clock, except for a dim, precautionary bulb overhead.

Janitors will sort incoming mail and deposit it in specially-arranged, boxes Watson advised gym tenants to delay delivery of their baggage until they get a permanent room assignment
