No funds have been granted as yet for the three dormitories for which, according to Teague, the ground will be broken probably this Monday. In order to have the funds appropriated, Teague urged that all members of the state legislature be acquainted with the seriousness of the housing problem especially by students from each of the members home dis trict. Carmichael Compiles Housing Data' Many of the legislators, Teague stated, seem to feel that the veterans are not serious about returning to school and that the present situation will quickly pass. W. D. Carmichael, Jr., Controller, has compiled a book let, presenting the housing problem arid its needs, for the Governor, Board of Trustees and the legislature. Win ston Broadfoot, present chairman of AVC, pledged the chapter's support behind the University's efforts to solve the problem.
