lease for these houses which includes equipment and furniture.  The
University will be required to pay all cost of moving and setting up

dollars would be required for the installation of two hundred of the
houses on the campus, and that if the additiohal request should be
granted, a proportionate increase would be necessary.   It was esti-
mated that more houses could be rented if made available.  The report
was heartily received, and the administration was directed to proceed
with all details necessary.
