Seven of these "collapsible" dwelling units, wartime landmarks of Veterans Village, emergency housing project near the University's Coliseum, are slated for removal to make room for planned additions to the Coliseum. Professional wreckers will take over the salvaging of furnishings and materials from the dwellings. Occupants already have moved to quarters either outside the project or in other units which will not be disturbed by the addition to the University building, which houses the U-M ice-skating rink.
