Dorm Applications Up, Admissions Down By JOHN DENNY Emerald Staff Writer The University Office of Ad missions is receiving fewer early applications for fall term admis sion than it received for fall term of 1965. At the same time, the housing department reports that more persons are applying early for fall term housing. The Office of Admissions had received 7.000 applications as of April. This is a (Iron of 8.4 per cent from the 7,639 figures re corded at the same time last year. The housing department re ports a jump over last year of 8.8 per cent in the number of housing applications it has re ceived. Through May 2, a total of 1, 738 persons had applied for fall term housing; 1.597 applications had been received by May 2 of last year. Drop Attributed to Fee Director of Admissions Ver non L. Barkhurst attributes the drop in the volume of admission applications to the addition of a $10 application fee. The State Board of Higher Education act ed in January to require a fee from all students applying to enter state-operated schools for the first time. ‘ There are just as many sin cere applicants this year as there were last year,” Barkhurst stated in a recent interview. He said that, because of the fee, students are not applying unless they really intend to enroll at the University. There had been only 1,902 early admission freshmen applications turned in through April 11 of this year. Last spring 2,716 per sons had requested early admis sion by the same time. Housing Applications Early Applications for fall term res idents in University housing are coming in early, according to Daniel A. Williams, assistant di rector of housing. “Students are applying early because they are more aware of the need to apply early,” Wil liams stated recently.

Permission Cards Needed Williams reminds women stu dents who plan to live in “no closing hour dormitories” in the fall to obtain parental permission cards from the Housing Office, Carson Hall. Admissions Director Barkhurst observes that while the number of persons requesting early ad mission has declined from last year, the number of denials is sued has increased. Last year 637 denials had been made as of April 11. This year 707 denials have been made. Barkhurst attributes this 11 per cent increase to denials re ceived by graduate students. Of the denials made so far. 631 have been to graduate applicants. Reason for Denials The increase in the number of graduate applicant denials, ac cording to Uarkhurst, is due to a change in University admission policy: This is the lirst time j that graduate students are be j ing denied or granted admission i on the basis of decisions made by their major department or professional school. In past years the Oflice of Ad missions has determined a stu dent's eligibility for graduate school on the basis of grade point average alone. Many Students are now being denied admittance to graduate school because of a lack of suffi cient background in the area in which they intend to concen trate, according to Barkhurst. Non-Major Category He said that although a stu dent is denied admission as a graduate student, he may still be admitted to the University in an unclassified (non major) cate gory. A student admitted in this category can enroll In graduate courses on an instructor consent basis Graduate courses tnken by a student enrolled in the unclas sified category may give a stu dent sufficient background to en ter graduate school. Barkhurst expects a fall term enrollment of 12,97(1. A total of 12,228 students were enrolled fall term of 1905.
