Serious shortages still exist for married couples who wish to live in Lawrence. Apartments are available, out most lack private bathrooms, or cooking privileges, Mrs. Nash said. Most married students are referred to Sunflower village where about 650 student families live, she added.
Stressing the fact that most married students are upper classmen, Mr. Youngberg said that there should be more apartments available next fall. "This office is advising many landlords who have vacant rooms for single students to convert them into apartments if possible," he added.
Housing for single women students will not be a problem this summer," Mrs. Nash said. She added that although there probably will be some difficulty in finding places for all women next fall, the housing office does not expect to have to turn any of them away.
Another bright spot in the student housing picture is the $500,000 addition to Corbin hall, which should be completed by the fall of 1949. Mr. Youngberg said that the new building will house about 190 women. Plans are being made to build men's and women's dormitories as soon as construction begins on the Corbin structure;
There is a surplus of rooms for men students, Mrs. Nash said. "Little difficulty is expected in finding places for them next fall," she added.

Republicans See Close Vote In Nebraska Race
Omaha, April 12—(UP)–Harold E. Stassen and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey make last minute personal appeals today for the support of Nebraska voters in the state's free-for-all Republican presidential primary tomorrow.
Followers of Gen. Douglas Mac- Arthur were active today and many went on the air in his behalf.
Sen. Robert A. Taft's supporters claimed the election is relatively unimportant to him. The Ohio relied only on transcriptions of his past speeches to remind voters of him on the eve of the primary.
Governor Dewey, Mr. Stassen, and Mr. Taft have waged aggressive campaigns, and General MacArthur's men have striven to put him over the top. Three other passive candidates are Sen. Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan, Gov. Earl Warren of California, and house speaker Joseph Martin of Massachusetts. They have not campaigned.
Mr. Stassen and Governor Dewey both predicted they would come out on top tomorrow, but both admitted they expected a close vote. Sen. Hugh McDonald, the leader of the state's Taft forces, was confident the Ohioan would win.
The three candidates directed most of their campaign speeches to the heavy Nebraska farm vote, promising to insure farmers a fair share of the national income through parity prices, high production and federal aid.
Dr. Robert A. Walker, state chairman of U.N.E.S.C.O., and director of the citizenship institute at Kansas State college, spoke at a meeting of the American Association of University Women April 10 at Lawrence Memorial High school.
