HOUSING PROBLEMS
Question Of Holding Down Liy-

Causes Worry.

With the enrolment Of students at

ing former records, the housing situa-
ton looms up as one Of the most vital
problems affecting tho student body
that awaits the attention of President
John B. Creeden. 8. J., and the Board

Total registration figures to date
show 1850 students already enrolled
in the five departments Of the uni
versity, with the heaviest enrollments
yet to come in the Law School.

ditions In the housing Of students.
Partial relief has been found at the
college in the addition Of dormitories

dents will be quartered on the top
floor and in former class rooms. But

penses of the 1900 students now

this problem. the Georgetown Union,

Remodeling the Capitol-or the
House and Senate chambers-is a job
twelve years overdue.

Long Recess Necessary.
The fact is that for twelve years
Congress has at no time been in re-
cess or adjournment for more than q
five or six month period. This IN not
sufficient to finish the work OF mod
ernizing the chambers. 80
The remodeling has been deemed

Three more players had come in on the
deal then. he said. but he was not per
mitted to name them and Judge
Friend ruled that this part OF his
testimony applied only to the men
with whom he had talked.
Having placed before the jury its
contention that the alleged conspiracy
had its conception in New York and
its birth in Cincinnati. the state to-
morrow plans to change the scene to

understood that he will testify to see
ing bets paid to Abe Attell.
The states chief witness, in baseball
parlauce today hurled excellent bsu.

the gruelling cross examination. He
was forced to change his original les
timony as to a date Of a meeting with
Bennett and occasionally got twisted
on street numbers.
But at no time did nc become ruffled
under the fire OF the defense and the
smile never left his face. He joked
with his questtoners, questioned them
at times and matched his wit against
theirs in repartee. When Ben Shorf,
defense attorney became particularly
acrid and said: YOU don't like me.

The chief Ioopholes found In Burns
testimony by the defense were his
admission that he had not talked With

testimony that he met Bennett IN
