USG and MRHA arc on a collision course over which best represents the students, Student Affairs Vice-President Dr. William Butler predicted Thursday morning.
Along with UM President Dr. Henry King Stanford, Butler met with a score of freshmen he had invited to breakfast in the Student Union to discuss the students’ first weeks in college.
The University's senior executives nn<l Its freshest freshmen compared notes on the usual topics of housing, food. University College, etc.
Butler’s prognosis was in reply to the query, "Why doesn't MRHA have more power with Dean Hynes?’’ The UM Vice-President expects the housing units to obtain more power as the residential campus becomes more fully developed.
He further foresees a proportionate decline in the ratio of fraternity men to non-fraternity campus residents.
One student told Stanford that a complaint about the overflow housing situation In Apartment No. 2 of Smith House met with the unsatisfactory response from the Housing Office that “he could like it or leave.”
Butler said that 160 men are still on the waiting list to move into campus housing.
Responsible In part for the housing shortage is the increasingly greater number of transfer students, who find landlords less willing than before to rent to students.
Stanford said he hoped that by next year other towers would be built to handle the load.
(Later Thursday, the Board of Trustees' Executive Committee approved an investigation of financing two towers similar to the recently completed 960 towers.)
Rutter revealed that completion of the Mahoney Hall cafeteria would be further delayed until mid-October. The dining hall was »chcduled for completion by September 20.
But the UM Vice-President said, ‘ I’ll lie happy if it is (only) two more weeks "
The hrekfasts with Administrative brass are held approximately every two weeks in private dining rooms in the Student Union.
Students interested in the breakfasts may sign a list with Suzanne Getman, secretary to Dr. Butler, in room 242 of the Ashe Building. Students are notified prior to the get together in reference to particulars.

Formal Bids Accepted9 Rush Finishes Today
Out of approximately 390 men to whom bids were extended, some 370 joined the ranks of the Greeks, as IFC Formal Fraternity Rush came to a close. •
Climaxing six days of organized house visitations, mixers and smokers, open houses, and dinners, prospective rush-ees met in the Flamingo Ballroom where they picked up their bids. There they made the all imiiortant decision and joined their choosen fraternity on the Student Union Patio for the bid acceptance Congratulations Rally.
It is known that men may dislike to register for formal
rush, yet may still wish to be considered. For this main reason, IFC announced Open Fraternity Rush, to rontinue through Oct. 3. Now is the time that fraternities are on the lookout for the students who didn't formally rush, but might be interested if approached on an Informal basis, although 500 went through formal rush.
IFC Vice-President George Lechat explained that some j men who did attend formal | rush chose to accept bids but j remain undecided, in order to know the fraternities better before making the big decision.

The UM Board of Trustees' Executive Committee asked the University Treasurer and Financial Affairs Vice President Thursday to explore financing the construction of t w o high-rise dormitories similar to the recently completed 960 residence halls, according to Dr. Henry King Stanford.
The site of the proposed housing is across the canal from 960 and adjacent to Eaton Hall.
Eugene E Cohen is ex(x*ct-ed to investigate the financing of the dormitories immediately.
Financing will be through private channels, according to a source close to the Board. The possibility of federal aid has Itcen studied and found to be unfeasible.
Cohen's first call probably will be to the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, UM's largest commercial mortgage-holder.
If that company were to finance the buildings, the only change might Ik* in (he amount of the present mortgage.
Connecticut Mutual also holds the mortgage on the site of the proposed construction. Thus UM must obtain a release from that company so the University can use that land as collateral for the new financing.
Cohen describes business relations between UM and Connecticut Mutual as extremely cooperative and is confident that if necessary the University could obtain the release.
No release would be needed if the financing is through Connecticut Mutual.
It Is not exacted that the University will encounter difficulties in obta.ning the necessary funds. Dormitories are relatively easy to finance, because they amortize themselves.
The new housing hopefully would successfully meet the housing shortage certain to occur next fall if present accommodations are not increased. Vet, another source close to the Board explained that the Trustees assigned first priority not to the projected residence complex, but to the second unit of the Science Center and to the Medical Center.
In recent years the University Administration has un-deicstimatod the student demand for campus housing.
Last year, UM executives beared that the 960 hoaxing complex would lx* hanging out a “Vacancy” sign this fall. But this fall students were placed on waiting list* for such accommodations.
Student Affairs Vice President Dr William R. Butler disclosed in a recent interview that an additional tower with a capacity of 500 students could have been filled this past September.
