The students are classified as "transients" by Austin Hayden. housing superintendent here. Win ston Purvine. OVS director said, and "transients" are denied Uie privilege of living in the federal apartments. Students enroll at u S for classes lasting from 18 months to three years and are desperately in need of housing. Many are married but have been unable to bring their families to Klamath Falls because of the housing shortage. Others, Purrine said, would enroll Ib courses here If they could be guaranteed housing. . Purvine and others interested In the situation said they believed Hayden's Interpretation of the "transient" regulation to Include students was his own and not that o' the homing authority. Hayden was reported out of town and unavailable for comment today. The veterans council meeting last night aired not only that gripe but a long-continuing one over the "bu reaucratic" administration of the federal units. The council claims t" know of 14 instances where "ape cial privileges" were granted to per sons who became tenants of the apartments without working up on the waiting lists or taking lesa-de-h-ab4e anrartan flriC ' Instance Cited An Instance la also cited of a veteran here in town who ia par ing J24 a week for an auto court lodging, and is refused admission to the housing units because "he has adequate housing." The veterans council reports that Havden says there are now 15 va cancies in the "boxcar" apartments of the Mountain View units least desirable of the federal houses and that he has contacted all per sons on his waiting lists and none want the Mountain View apart ments. They are two-bedroom fur nished affairs, renting for 839 i month. Hayden Is reported considering recommending that 15 ot the "box car" units be tom down. This afternoon some 13 or 14 stu dents of OVS who want housing Im mediately are going to the Moun tain View location to look over those apartments, and the wheels may be set in motion to have the "transient" ruling as applied to OVS students reversed. The Klamath County chamber ot commerce has written a letter to Jesse Epstein, regional housing di rector in San Francisco, urging that the units not be torn down and that OVS students be allowed to live in them. Purvine said Hayden told him the OVS students could move Into the Mountain View units If OVS would take over operation and mainte nance of the units completely. But the 839 a month rental would have ti be paid. Epstein is asked to come to Klam ath Falls to get personal view ot the federal housing situation here. A person who attended the coun cil meeting Inst night remarked 'that if Klamath Falls can afford to tear down 15 livable apartments, it Is the first town on the Pacific coast which can.
