Housing Shortage - Not Again
The recent announcement that the Public Housing Administration will dispose of Sunflower village on July 25,1949, if its war demobilization has been completed by that time raises the question of the critical housing shortage here.
The University fathers have done a remarkable job during the past
months, providing accomodation.
orbin Addition
new years in providing resources for a great number of students, both married and single. However, much of this success was due to the availability of the Sunflower units which have handled the overflow when every facility in Lawrence has been taxed to its fullest extent.
Now the P.H.A. threatens disposal of this much-needed housing development. Is the University immediately ready to help these students find accommodations elsewhere? We think not. Iskin Addition
The new $500,000 addition to Corbin hall for women and plans for a men's dormitory and residence hall are a step in the right direction but, according to Irvin Youngberg, director of dormitories, the Corbin addition will not be ready until the fall of 1949. The other buildings are not to be started until this first construction task is under way.
This is a long range program and one that will not be completed until after 1950. It is not designed to handle emergency situations now.
It would be to the advantage of the University to expand its facilities, such as Sunnyside, to handle as many students as are presently living at Sunflower. The use of surplus government units would keep the cost on a paying basis. Proximity of all students to the campus should be the greatest concern. Far-Sighted Program
A far-sighted housing program is distinctly a University problem. The city of Lawrence does not seem to feel obligated in any way, even though it should because a large share of its revenue is derived from students. Thus, an emergency building program should be started. Steps should be taken immediately to establish a housing fact-finding committee to determine the present and future housing needs of the students.
The University should not wait until Sunflower is no longer made available but be planning a large temporary University project which would dispel student fears of eviction.
Let's not wait until the housing situation becomes critical. Let's have plenty of room for both married and single students and make this another selling point for our favorite University.
"Missouri Waltz" is the title of a book to be published in April by Maurice Milligan, former U.S. District attorney and vote fraud prosecutor in Kansas City. From advance information, we predict this is one time when such a title will not be music to the ears of Mr. Truman.
This notation appeared in the University Daily Kansan for Oct. 20, 1939: "But at least Russia is somewhat consistent. She wants to talk turkey to Turkey and finish to the Finnish.
Learning is getting to be a tough proposition nowadays. It's getting so that a lot of students go directly from day school into night court.
The nation's government officials have the solutions to all problems right under their noses. Radio commentators seem to know what is wrong with everything.
Sunflower Amvets Elect Chamberlain
Sunflower Amvets recently unanimously elected Russell Chamberlain, College junior, post commander. He succeeds Horton Fross, engineering freshman, who had resigned.
The Amvets also elected three members to the operations committee. They are Jack Marts, James Morris, and Edward Barker. Made necessary by the co-occupancy of Veteran's club by Sunflower V.F.W., the committee acts as a club board of directors.
V. F.M. committee members John Ross, Robert Neill, and Lloyd Roberts are also elected officers.
