Student Life: Enrollment, cost of housing is up ■ Continued from Page 1 second priority and undergradu ates, ages 21 and older without children are third priority. “We don’t turn away anyone with children,” he said. “We can accommodate most grads. It’s the undergrads that we may turn away due to our priority system.” The steady trend of student growth may force housing offi cials to consider building even more student complexes. Director of Residence Life D.J. Morales said student growth should con tinue. “The children of baby boomers are nearing college age, so the next five years should continue to increase,” she said. Despite the steady enrollment increase, Morales believes it isn’t necessary to construct additional student housing in the near fu ture. “In the spring, we have a capac ity of 83 percent, while in the fall it is 100 percent,” she said. “We tend to lose people in the winter and spring terms, but never in the fall.” Gaddini agrees. “We need to look at that very carefully for more family resi dence halls,” he said. “We’ll do it only under strong consideration, given market trends, costs and benefits to the University.” In 1996 student enrollment is projected to reach 17,422 this fall. Along with the increase of stu dent housing, the cost of housing has risen as well. Room and board fees jumping $400 to $600 from last year. Matchett-Morris said room and board rates increase incremental ly every year, but new services were the main cause of the price hike and three more resident as sistants. The increase of room and board costs concerns Western Oregon State University transfer sopho more Josie VerMeer who just moved into Boynton Hall. She said Western offered her grants, while the University did not. “I do have an inheritance,” she said. "But, if I didn’t have that, I would be worried about costs. People think college is way too expensive in the first place.” Rent remains nearly unchanged from last year at family housing complexes East Campus and Spencer View. However, West moreland rents increased. "In July, we raised the rents $25 more because operation costs such as utilities, water and main tenance increased,” said Frank Gaddini, the family housing area director. Student family housing is gen erally in high demand because of low rents, campus proximity and friendly communities. Waiting lists tend to be long and students may need to look at alternative housing. However, Gaddini said they created a waiting list “via a lottery system” to eliminate long waits. “Our system is predictable and creates a fair expectation,” he said. “Usually it takes six to seven months before we get you in. If it was first come, first serve, it would be too long of a waiting list.” stuff in the ODE Classifieds (Weasel's World, Doonesbury, your daily horoscope and of course the crossword.)
