AVC Housing Survey Finds 40 Vacancies

American Veterans Committee housing leaders have turned up more than 40 rooms and apartments in their search for additional housing for married students.

At a result of letters sent out to 793 members of the University who live in near-by quarters and will graduate at the end of the current term, the A.V.C. Housing Committee has turned up 16 places that will be available for mid-June occupancy.

Of these 16, eight have already been assigned to housing seekers, but eight others remain, six of them within three miles of the Square. High rents are the chief obstacle to these six, the A.V.C. reported, for their average cost per month is $76.

Gave 20 Leads

Several other apartments, with later dates of occupancy, have also been turned up by the Housing Committee, which announced that it has given leads to 20 people and has positively placed four.

Final examinations are now the chief obstacle in the committee's way, Chairman John A. Quisenberry '46 declared last night, for the group will cease to function during the exam period unless additional volunteers are found to aid it in its work.

Quisenberry suggested that the wives of married students might be able to participate in the work during this time, and man the A.V.C. office while their husbands are sweating over their blue books.
