OSC Faces Serious Housing Shortage (Editor’s note: This is the second and last of the housing sur veys held by Anne Craven, 1944-45 editor of the Emerald, now work ing' for the United Press in Port land.) By ANNE CRAVEN United Press Staff Correspondent PORTLAND, Oct. 19—(UP) — Oregon State college’s housing problem, enhanced by the unex pected end of the Pacific war, has sent college officials hunting for such temporary buildings as quon set huts or units from Camp Adair. So far it has been impossible to procur any such temporary hous ing. Registration at Oregon State now stands at 3029. Besides the LOST: Shell-rimmed glasses in -a maroon case.

L. Strand, president. Frats in Use In addition, 12 men’s fraternity houses have been leased as college dormitory annexes for women and five fraternities are being operated by the college as boarding houses for men. It is not anticipated that any of these houses will be avail able for women after this year. Conservative estimates set the 1946-47 enrollment at 5000, with another 1000 or more the follow ing year. In addition, from 300 to 500 veterans are expected to apply for enrollment winter term this year, to add to the already grow ing number of veterans on the campus. To meet the need of married veterans, state system officials are trying to get 50 units from Rich land, Wash., but negotiations have j not been completed yet because of i federal red tape involved. * New Dorm And a dormitory costing $810, 000 to house 300 women has been planned “as soon as possible” for the Oregon State campus. As in Eugene, city living space is now impossible to obtain. In 1940 more than 2000 students found living accommodations in boarding houses and private homes in Corvallis. This year only 758 Oregon State students have been able to find such accommodations. At LaGrande, home of the Eastern Oregon College of Educa tion, fall term registration was 289 students. The girls were assigned three to a room instead of the normal two because 114 women students instead of the dorm quota of 76 needed living quarters. Using Hotel And 65 girls of the U.S. cadet nurse program have been put in two floors of the Sacajawea hotel. Although so far all men have been able to find private boarding houses, an increase in veterans is expected. Here, too, the state system hopes to acquire federal housing units temporarily to take care of married veterans. They are negotiating for 24 units from a war workers, housing project, dis continued at the end of the war, but now revived. The buildings have been promised to the college. . The college hopes to have an addition to the girls’ dormitory, housing about 60. ready for use by < EUGENE TAXI SERVICE ube jd.U'xe. ^JatU Phone Eugene 3232 Phone Springfield 584 Conveniently located next to Clingman's Tavern with call stands in Eugene and Spring field.

These, as well as the dormitories at the Univer sity of Oregon and Oregon State college, will be built under a self financed plan on bond issues paid back over a large number of years by dormitory profits. Bright Spot Only bright spot in the pictures is at the Oregon College of Edu cation in Monmouth where there is room for 30 additional students in the women's dormitory and 20 in the men's.
