Bates Housin< By Betty Woodat University students planning to live in the new Bates West dormitory have been given several alternative housing prospects since the dorm will not be completed until December 1. "We had planned to move into the dorm gradually," Robert A. Stewart, director of housing, said. "But instead of completing each floor as they went, the builders went helter-skelter all over the building. On July 10, they told us no one could move in until December 1, so we dropped everything to come up with suitable housing options." Stewart said the easiest thing to do would have been to cancel everyone's reservation and refund the money. Eventually, this was one of the options offered. "But that didn't solve the problem of where the student would live," he said. - "After some investigation, we got a lead on Sandwood Lake Apartments on Decker Boulevard about seven miles from campus and we worked out some plans with them." The apartments became a second, and the most popular, option for students. With two full baths, air-conditioning, dishwasher, carpeting, and swimming pools available, Stewart described the two-bedroom apartments as "plush."

Professor James A. Kulman of the USC Department of Government and International Studies will co-direct the cross-national, cross-disciplinary symposium along with Professor R ichard P. Farkas of the State University of New York. The conference, August 6-1 1, is funded by a joint Earhart Foundation/USC grant and arrangements and accomodations will be handled by the Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Study and Conference Center at the Villa Serbelloni, Lake Como.

Stewart said the University is paying the remainder of the amount. "Furniture for Bates West will be used to furnish the apartments," he said. "The only problem is the distan ce from campus. But most of the students living out there will have cars and we are working on a bus service between there and campus." Students who sign up for bus service will be charged an additional $30. The arrangement at Sandwood will only last first semester, Stewart said, although he guessed "that when students see what a .nice place it is, they will want to remain in the spring." Another off-campus housing location for the men who signed up for Bates West will be the former nurses' residence at Columbia Hospital about three-quarters of a mile from campus. For the students who do not wish to stay off-campus, Stewart said the Housing Department had been "pretty lucky to come up with some alternatives." ''Since several Horseshoe tenements were scheduled for renovation next semester, we postponed that and moved some men into those rooms.

"Women staying on-campus have been given options of South Tower or South Building studies, or temporary three-girl rooms in the Women's Quad," he said. On-campus rooms have been the second most popular option. "This dorm not being ready has been a tough situation all the way around," Stewart said, "but I think the University has bent over backwards trying to find suitable options for as many students as possible."
