Looking for the Auburn address of Jimmy Burnam and Maxwell Stewart, one finds listed-Episcopal Church. Lighted windows just below the belfry show the tower that is their home. The sink was moved from the church kitchen to make room for Frank Benning and Scott Clemens.—Photo by Lewis Arnold.Kitchen, Tower of Church Rented--What Next! Woodhouse, Mrs. Lee Saysfgrmr*r'*T-—Last spring when veterans began flocking to Auburn, college officials asked the townspeople to rent their guest bedrooms to students. The response was good.No better cooperation has been shown than that coming from the Episcopal Rectory. Seddon andByrd, sons of the Rev. and Mrs.•William Byrd Lee now share their room with another student. The tower of the Church of the Innocents was rented two men, Jimmy Burnam and Maxwell Stewart. There still weren’t enough rooms, so the sink was moved from the church kitchen to make room for Frank Benning and Scott Clemens.Now, Mrs. Lee says, a prospective student has looked at the woodhouse with an eye toward renting it. It probably will bi needed, with an expected enrollment of 5500 students.The college will be able to accomodate about 1500 single andated housing. All facilities are now occupied or reserved.Included are 93 two-man deckhouses; a temporary' dormitory for 225 men; individual cabins for groups of male students; permanent women’s quadrangle for 390 girls and other dormitories and college halls for more than 300 girls.Of the 100 trailers in the trailer camp, 65 are college-owned.Seventy-four temporary apartments are occupied and 51 others are under construction. These are for veterans and families, both student and faculty.For faculty will be 69 additional family-dwelling units on college-owned property in Auburn. Final plans are being drawn for building 100 homes on a 53-acre plot just outside the city limits. A private contractor will construct these homes for sale or rent to faculty members. Some may be available Jan. 1, 1947.Auburn and Opelika roomingmarried students in college-oper-and boarding houses for students are already operating at peak capacity, but some construction is in progress. Residents of bothtowns are cooperating to provide satisfactory rooms and apartments for students and families.Until construction reaches the demand for rentals, however, the Lee family may have to rent the woodhouse.
