It has been estimated that Lincoln needs 900 more urn! s of housing, said ASUN vi:e president Dave Howlett. This estimate, taken by the Lincoln Housing Authority, is small in comparison to another recent study, he said. This study estimated that Lincoln needs 2,000 more housing units. The problem of housing is a problem for both the city and the campus, he said. Conse quently the university and Lincoln should work on their joint problems together, he said.

I r iRufv'EMBtR: BACKSTAGE HAG GREAT SHOE FASHIONS FOR MEN AND WOMEN, t One of the main areas of interest he said, is in married student housing. The Uni versity ranks eighth in the Big Eight on the number of married student facilities available. The University of Nebraska Lincoln has only 57 married units on East Campus, he said, "and the last time I knew there was an 18-month waiting list for these." The next lowest Big Eight school in married housing, he said, is Kansas University, with 300 housing units. The largest number is found at Iowa State, which has about 1,300 such units. Howlett noted that although he recognizes that some married stuents are in a financial bind, "there is a problem with them using housing units needed by low income residents." The low -income people of Lincoln need the housing even more than do students, he said, because the students' situation is only a temporary one. Li order to find a solution for the housing problem, a com mittee has been formed to investigate alternatives. Mem bers of the committee are: Kathy Smith, Lynn Silhasek, Vickie Horton, Genie Gupta and Jody Schwindt.
