Away at Displays
By PAUL BRENTLINGER
Lured by prospects of winning handsome prizes, members of some
90 campus house groups last night sloshed paint and pounded nails in
earnest for their homecoming displays.
To get a report on the mid-week progress of homecoming display
work, The Daily took a quick survey of fraternities, sororities and
dormitories.
* *. * *
IN MOST OF THE HOUSES, the work was in the basement or
back yard stage. There, hidden from the prying eyes of neighbors, ar-
tists were busily applying the finishing touches to the "punch-line"
sign which was "sure to win this year."
Several front lawns were littered with lumber awaiting the
deft hand of a carpenter with a plan.
On other lawns, frameworks of various shapes and sizes had been
erected to await the colorful posters and ponderous papier-mache
monsters designed to catch the eyes of display judges and football
fans.
4. 4 *
A FEW HOUSES already had papier-mache figures in various
stages of undress in their lawns or in their basements. Most of them
seemed to resemble strange species of football player.
And one of the fraternities has an ancient airplane in its yard,
with a time-honored artillery piece set in a strategic position to
guard it.
All this activity must halt by the wee hours of Saturday morning,
for two crews of judges are scheduled to tour the city between day-
break and gametime to decide which displays will win prizes.

DISPLAY DUTIES-Residents of the Helen New 3erry residence hall gang up on a papier-mache
football hero, trying to get him into shape for Saturday's game with Minnesota. The man will be
part of Newberry's Homecoming display. After three weeks of hard work, this display will be unveiled
as a finished product early Saturday morning.

Young Dems
Meet Tonight
Young Democrats will discuss a
resolution on the question of dis-
crimination in the University at
their meeting at 7:30 today in the
Union.
If passed, the resolution would
ask the Student Legislature to
place upon the campus election
ballot a referendum on whether
student organizations recognized
by the University should be per-
mitted to maintain constitutional
provisions which discriminate be-
cause of race, creed or color.
LOCAL AVC SURVEY:
Lack of Capital, Real Estate
Seen Causing Housing Pinch
By DON KOTITE
A lack of private capital and
"very little" free real estate in Ann
Arbor are largely responsible for a
400 per cent housing shortage in-
crease in the last few years, ac-
cording to Prof. Arthur Eastman
of the English department.
Prof. Eastman is a member of
the local American Veteran Com-
mittee's executive board, which
last spring launched a comprehen-

THE SURVEY was prompted by
reports of family hardship trace-
able to housing, he said.
Establishing a standard that
"every family unit should have a
dwelling unit," the completed sur-
vey has compiled county and city
population statistics from 1940 to
1949.
It correlates these figures with
yearly jumps in construction
costs and relative drops in the
amount of housing units.
In Washtenaw County, for ex-
ample, total population last year
was 115,000. The number of fam-
ily units was 38,333; there were
30,778 housing units (including
3,000 temporary units at Willow
Run).
* * *
THE SHORTAGE, therefore
amounted to 7,555. Shortage per-
centage came to approximately 20
per cent.
Higher construction costs at
present pose a vital problem,
Eastman explained. Ann Ar-
bor's private capital can't af-
ford to tackle rental unit build-
ing at current prices, he added.
And "with the new Veterans'
Hospital bringing to town 800 or
900 more people, the situation be-
comes worse," he said.
S4 .
NOTING A CORRELATION be-
tween shortage and low-income
groups, Eastman thinks the Taft-
Ellender-Wagner housing bill of-
fers a "good working tool" for so-
lution.
This bill, passed by Congress
in May, provides for immediate
building of 810,000 low-cost
dwelling units, in addition to
slum clearance and rural proj-
ects. It includes also a long-
range 15,000,000-unit program,
to be completed by 1958.
To qualify for TEW bill benefits,
Ann Arbor would have to apply for
state permission, then tie it in with
national authority, according to
Chamber of Commerce president
Lewis G. Christman.
BUT IF THE current large-scale
building program here, including
the Stadium Hills development,
succeeds, the area may not need
TEW aid, he added.
V. 0. Nelson, heau of the Ann
Arbor Board of Realtors, feels pri-
vate enterprise, rather than fed-
eral aid, is the keynote.
"At present, local builders are
supplying all the housing the mar-
ket can stand," he said.
