Vould-Be Students Face Uncertainty At Colleges By The Associated Press Prospective students at Ore gon colleges and universities may be on tenterhooks until tlie last minute, not certain whether they will be able to enter the school of their choice. The reason Is the tremendous increase of those who plan to enter college and the lack of housing for them. Virtually all Oregon institu tions are confronted by the same problem, but because they at tract the greatest number, the University of Oregon and Ore gon State college have it in the most acute form. At the university, high aca demic standards have been set. Out-of-state students are requir ed to have higher qualifications than those from Oregon. This, however, has only lessened the problem; not solved it. After clearing students aca demically, Clifford Constance, assistant to the registrar, report ed university-controlled housing was allocated to them on the basis if priority of applications. When the available housirg was NUNN-BUSH SHOES . for your August Vacation See the fine selection of Sport Coats and Loafer Jackets Especially designed for those leisurely racation days. $23.00 to $39.50 ns aula .ARROW SHIRTS. if. NOW COMING filled and it was some time ago the university gave qualified acceptance to those meeting the academic standards. If they can show that they can provide'their own housing with relatives, in morning houses or otherwise they will be accepted. If not, the university will not be 0 en to them this fall. Veterans, whose return to the classrooms has caused much of the problem, were given priority on new housing Installed nn the campus. It will accommodate about 1000. Including 200 to 300 married veterans. At Oregon State college, the picture is somewhat different. There is no requirement for ad vance registration as at the uni versity, if someone if an Ore gon resident shows up on open ing day and has housing, he will be admitted if he meets entrance requirements, E. B. Lemon, dean of administration, reports. However, the likelihood of that happening is remote, for Corvallis is jammed to the raf ters. As a matter of fact, some 8000 applications for fall enroll ment already exceed by 1500 to 2000 the number that can be accommodated. All college-con trolled living quarters are filled. ! Every effort. Lemon said, will I be made to place veterans, but i there is a serious question whether any more can be ac cepted unless they rustle up i their own housing. Out-of-state veterans cannot be given prior Hy of any kind, he said, if Ore ; gon students are to be accom ; modated. Authorities are urging those i who do not now have assurance of a place to live, to attend one ' of the other institutions in the ; state. Many of them also are at ; or near their maximum capaci ties, but some, such as Vanport DINE i At The Sign Of The RED ROOSTER Klamath's Finest 614 Klamath Ave. Open 5:30 a. m. to 10 p. m. rtt.a. mm Ir rmnj UHrnutu W 7m m at Portland, can still take reser vations. Many prospective students may find themselves without a school or attending one they didn't pick in the first place But officials, who have been spend ing the summer seeking a solu tion, say there is no help for it: there's Just not enough housing for everyone.
