Only enough men reported for House rowing this year to make two full crews, Coach Ed Brown announced yesterday. As a result there will be only very informal rowing this fall, no single House having enough to compete as a unit. House crews never appear in their full strength until spring, however. Last May in the Agassiz Cup race Winthrop House crew won from a field consisting of Dunster, Eliot, and a combination crew. This Winthrop House crew lost to a Yale class crew in the final race of the season last June. Yale house crews may be organized...
...Winthrop, or because Dunster has a better Fine Arts library. But, other things being equal, these factors should count. Differences in the location, architecture, and equipment of the House will, of course, always affect choice; but the fact that a similar cross-section will be maintained in each unit gives the Central Committee an opportunity to make the choice of a tutor count more heavily in the preference of students, and in their assignment to the Houses.

Also, if the majority in a group of applicants are Fine Arts concentrators, for example, they may be assigned to, or urged to apply for, the unit with the best Fine Arts facilities...

These men have supported the House plan, and have taken rooms in the House plan, and have taken rooms in the Houses with the expectation that their chosen House was to be both permanent and a unit. While they have received recompense for this support in added privileges, they have at the same time paid for it in high room rents and various fees. They are entitled to a preservation of their aims and expectations; and the House plan itself is entitled, for obvious reasons...
Dining halls. There are roughly 500 upperclassmen commuters. Divided among the Houses, they would be roughly 70 per unit. But some of this number eat at home, some in clubs, and it is doubtful that, given dining hall privileges, many would make use of them. In 1931-32, 204 Freshman commuters were offered the privileges of the Union. Only 43 used it, and fewer still ate there; those who ate there averaged only 4 meals for a two month period, November-December...
