Jackson College
Officials Stymied
By Heavy
Enrolment

Like the old lady who lived in
the shoe, Jackson State College
has so many students that officials
don't know what to do. Long be-
fore the bulk of upperclassmen be-
gan arriving at the College DOR
mitory Monday, dormitory facili-
ties were filled to capacity. A
check of several buildings, some
on the campus and two off the
campus, shows that 40 students
are being housed in Sampson Hall,
105 in Aver Hall which ordinarily
should accommodate only u, CT in
the barracks, LOG in Barrett Hall,
81 in Scott Hall flour more than
was housed in the private facili-
ty which was converted into a
dormitory for tire College last year,
10 in Dansby House (privately
owned by DR.. B. Baldwin Dansby,
former President of the College)
80 in Jones Hall and nine in the
College gymnasium making total
of 466 students who had been hous-
ed through Sunday. Upperclass-
men were to begin arriving Mon
day, September Is. Incidentally,
Aver Hall, already 33 over, had
Is students on the waiting list at
900 am. Monday. Two faculty
members had been dispatched to
find suitable housing for students
in the City of Jackson. At one of
the faculty and staff meetings held
Thursday morning, September IL,
President J. L. Reddix had inform
ed members of the faculty and staff
that he would probably have to
call upon them to relinquish rooms
| occupied by them.
Several faculty and staff men,
bers sensing the problem even be-
fore opening day had found refuge
i'm private homes near the cam
pus. The seriousness of the situa-
ton is heightened by the fact that
only few of the upperclassmen
had been housed as the housing
problem reached the saturation
point Sunday night.
Plans are on foot to construct
dormitory facilities for young men
and women, but this weeks plight
seemed to enhance the urgency of
the situation. Earlier the College
had proposed to build facilities on
government loan, but federal au-
thorities in the Atlanta office
found that there were not suf-
ficient room already available to
amortize the loan.
In recen. report prepared by
w. 0. Gill, Dean of Students, he
stated: During the school year
1861, LAOS students were hous-
ed in the Colleges dwelling units,
679 of these were men and 727
were young women. At tie OPEN

percent of the entire student body)

Gavilan was named Boxer of the
Month" today by the National Box

to earn him the honor and the new
position among the welterweight

a professional in the knockout bout

New ideas in home planning
nave taken strong hold in
Washington's center of tradi-

Most of the new homes built
in Georgetown in recent years
have been acceptably conven-

on the side that faces the street.
But inside. it's often differ
ent story.
One of the marked changes
you notice in much new con-

is Commissioner of the Federal
Housing Administration.
In the Mason home, living
dining room on the first floor
faces the garden. Also on this
floor are a kitchen. powder room
and garage.
On the second floor are two
bedrooms and a full bathroom.
The house also has an attic
studio.

Sees Shocking Situation
II think the disclosure would
be quite a shock to the many
families. particularly veterans.
who are in the market for new
homes today and who are willing
to pay a reasonable price for
mortgage credit.
The builders head disputed
another statement by Mr.. Strunk
in which he said big question is
whether or not we have entered
a period of a few years duration
when there will be an easing in
basic housing demand.
Commenting on this. Mr..
Goodyear said:
THE fact is that both the de-
mand and the need for good
new housing are strong and sus-
tanned. particularly among
middle and lower Income fam
lilies who require housing at a
modest price that can be paid
of on a low down payment,
long term mortgage.
New households are being
formed today at a rate Of nearly
a million year. while the num-
Der of houses started has
slumped to rate Of only $780,
