Only Dead Ashes Left Of Klamath Falls Deal Hot fires of last term's debate over the use of the marine barracks at Klamath Falls for a college educational center for - Oregon veterans turned almost to dead ashes Monday when the state hoard of higher education decided it would not assume l>rimarv responsibility for the move. However, it might desire to lease part of it from the state board of education which de , aided last week to acquire the barracks if possible for a voca tional school. Dr. Paul C. Packer, chancellor. iaid the decision was made after studying a survey showing that most married veterans had obtained housing and that veterans' housing was still available at the Vanport center and the colleges of education. Enrollments Soar The present institutions, through emergency facilities, are handling enrollments totaling 16,298 or 128 per cent more than a year ago, ac cording to figures submitted by Dr. Packer. He found that in addition to the vacant facilities at Vanport cen ter and the colleges of education, more temporary housing space is under construction at Oregon State College and the University. Dr. Packer reported that: “On the permanently established cam puses, additional housing facilities for 1018 married and 2447 single students, messing facilities for 2110, md 105,093 additional square feet of emergency classroom aifd office space has been provided by the board.” Demands Studied Since the last meeting of the board. Dr. Packer visited the Kla math Falls ceuter and conducted a number of studies to determine what the possible demands on the institutions would be for the next two terms. He found by a sample uuvey that S3 per cent of the 1507 married veterans who could not ob tain institutional housing at Eugene >r Corvallis had been able to find their own housing at some institu tion. Of the 17 per cent remaining, it per cent, or about 140 married /eterans, said they would be inter ested in going to Klamath Falls. The present housing facilities are distinctly of an emergency nature, Dr. Packer told the board, with the exception of a dormitory at La ■Grande. He cautioned against con sidering these anything but a tem porary solution of the housing prob lem. Dr. R. E. Kleinsorge, chairman of the building committee, urged the board to proceed with the per manent building program just as soon as possible, even at present high costs.
