emerging nations james tannenbaum housing report denies exodus results of report on residential preferences of lehigh undergraduates 1 conducted by prof roy c herrenkohl and george runt were submitted to the joint commission on university life jcul at a meeting on wednesday the report requested by the university community sub-committee of the university goals committee studied the exodus of undergraduates from afc-campus to off campus residences according to herrenkohl there has been no real movement of large numbers of stu dents away from on-campus housing he added however that certain factors inhibit an accurate assessment of students movements from one type of living situation to another citing the change in recent years of the university's fraternities from town to campus oriented organizations herrenkohl said we can't tell he said that when the frat ernities moved on-campus many students living off campus came with them changes like this tend to make a comparison of the number of students varying the status of their housing situation difficult herrenkohl explained the relatively small percentage of students returning to on campus housing from off campus quarters by saying that the number moving oft is relatively small there may then be a significant difference in the percentages of students moving on and off campus but the actual number is small regarding reasons for the few men moving from campus rather than larger numbers he named lack of transportation and quantity of apartments this i suspect is the real preventive he said herrenkohl declined to single cut one particular aspect of the report as most sig nificant according to the professor that's like asking what the most important p&ft of your body is dissatisfaction by some with the residence halls sytem and the large number of students satisfied with fraternity life were among the more noteworthy of the responses received also he said he regarded the fact that proportionally equal numbers of students move from the two-on-campus living situations to be important the reasons for moving he said tend to be an individual sort of thing regarding an alternative form of housing on campus herrenkohl said this has got to be done he continued saying that there is a need for the university to recognise off campus residents as a living group he has refused to draw any conclusions saying i've supplied the data and now " i think it's lip to the men of the commission herrenkohl said that he felt his limited dealings with students hindered his ability to draw conclusions and that the commission can come out with many broader clearer conclusions assistant dead at student life william l.quay said of the exodus that * if any thing there is more of an increase in on-campus housing he added that if an alter native choice of housing were offered to those who have moved off campus i think a good number of them would come back quay said he was most impressed by the fact that each of the groups polled resi dence halls fraternity and off campus students wished to see their own particular type of living group expanded this he said indicates that students want diversity on the campus according to quay an al ternative choice in housing would provide a supplement to what we already have of a sytem encompassing choices of just a room random selection partial se lectivity total selectivity and fraternities quay said i like that idea he contin ued saying that our present system was a monolithic superimposed system the dean said that the on-campus resi dence system should be broad enough to have a thornburg house and a mcchntlc marshall a summary of the report on residen tial preferences of lehigh undergradu ates noted the high degree of satisfaction with the fraternities or as herrenkohl put it the happiness quotient and the lower degree of satisfaction with the residence halls to be " on one's own was the principal reason given by students who live off campus the report went on to question however " what there is about the social and intellectual environment of an off campus apartment or room that oversha dows the inconvenience of its location of the methods given as most desirable to improve the livlngconditions at the uni versity coeducation and changes in the residential system were given in that or der here the report raises a question cf where the coeds will be housed students who have left the campus tend to avoid returning because they would us ually have to return to the type of living situation residence hall or fraternity that hey left
