Housing Shortage Serious.
Due TO a labor strike. which has
held up work on the new college
dormitory building for several weeks,
the Hilltop authorities face a. serious
housing problem. 1t was expected
the building would be completed in
time for the opening of the midterm
In January. when dormitory accom-
modations for 244 additional students
would have been available. In addi-
tion TO the additional dormitory
space, the Georgetown authorities
had counted on another lecture hall
and six or seven claSsrooms which
would have solved the housing prob
lem for the opening of the midterm.
