By Peter Cogswell

Current proposals to limit enrollment to
lt>.OOO lor the next academic year have the
University re-evaluating the need for new stu
dent housing, a University vice president said
Friday.
Dan Williams. University vice president (or
administration, said the University still plans
to build between 4f> and 00 family housing
units, for which it was allocated funds from
the Legislative Hmergency Hoard last |anuary
The University will then assess the housing
demand situation for next year
The University Inis ln*en .it odds with Ich al
members of the state Legislature for some time
over the rule it should play in providing hous
mg for its students
A lull recently passed in the House would
require the University to submit ail annual re
port to the state board c omparing the l ’mversi
ty's provisions for student housing with other
institutions in the I'ac ific 1(1 ( ainferenc e
Williams said additional student housing
may not lie necessary if enrollment cuts are
implemented next year because lower enroll
men! will decrease* the demand for student
housing lie also said the cost of building new
student housing would lie transferred onto the
students through inc reased fees
Hut with tuition rising as a result of Hallo!
Measure 5. it is not right to add additional
lusts to the fees students pay, Williams said
"it is not fair to obligate students with un
necessary debt." be said "It does not seem
like the time to go past our commitment (f’eo
pie) have to rememlier that students have to
pay for the debt
Williams said the only advantage to having
the University as a landlord would !«• cheaper
rent, but this is not really an advantage lie
( ause all students would pav higher fees to
compensate for debts amassed by the Universi
»y.
Williams said the I 'niversity intended to
build 100 to 1 r>0 units, but will start smaller
bei ause of the reduced enrollment level
'll you look at the community, there are va
cant apartments all over campus,' Williams
said "It has been wise lor us lo have been as
i autlolls as we have been so far
Hut what it comes down to is not jeopardiz
mg the institution s interest Williams said
The cautious plan the University is taking
has the support of the l-ane County housing
a uthoritv
Jim McCoy, community development coor
dinator. said the housing authority is under
contract with the University to facilitate what
ever projei Is arise in the housing proi ess
McCoy said it takes effort on the part of all
involved to i lire the housing situation in Hu
gene, and he believes the University is making
a ( oik cried effort
