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

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

WASHINGTON, July 31 Ml
The Justice department disclosed
today thHl It is investigating Ku

states to determine whether fed
eral laws are being violated.
The department said court
action will be instituted against
the klan if such violations are
uncovered.
Evidence Involving any viola

over to state authorities, if re
quested. The investigation is being made
under the direction of the depart

York, Michigan, Tennessee, Flor

Georgia.
However, complaints are be
ing received from all parts of the
country about the resurgent
kian's activities. The originators
include individuals, labor unions,
civil rights societies and other
organizations.
Some name dates, places and
persons involved in alleged klan
acts. All such complaints are
turned over to the FBI, which
makes investigations for the civil
rights section.
The department expects a
