Undergraduate Tells Nation He has No Housing Problem

Listeners to a program surveying student housing problems broadcast coast-to-coast by CBS yesterday may have carried away the impression that Harvard is unique in having plenty of room for everyone.

Actually, WEEI officials had been asked to recruit a representative from the University who has no problems, particularly of the housing variety. Other student speakers had been selected to illustrate the predicaments of the less fortunate.

As anchor man in the half hour series of interviews, Robert S. Sturgis '44, CRIMSON president, has to admit that he had no special worries concerning his Leverett House room beyond the addition of one extra room mate.

Sturgis estimated that approximately 70 percent of the undergraduates were housed in a manner similar to his own, a figure which excluded the 11 percent of the College population who are married and the 20 percent which commuted for one reason or another.
