any other year with the ex ception of 1926 caused a temporary shortage of rooming facilities this week reports the office of the regis trar new entrants totaling 535 up to saturday the last day of regis tration now brings lehigh's total enrollment up to 1600 far over the 1500 limitation set by the board of trustees because of the unexpected size of the class of 40 rooming facili ties have been so taxed that for a time there was an actual shortage of living quarters many fraternities found it necessary to use couches and divans as beds during the ten day rushing period while one of the largest pledge classes in the 71 years of the university was feted at pledge dinners saturday night to meet the crisis dean george curtis made a survey of available rooms in the cherokee street the brodhead avenue and the center street districts sixty-two vacant rooms to house the approximately 65 unquartered students were found a list of these rooms may be se cured from either dr congdon dean mcconn or dean curtis of more serious concern to uni versity officials is the inability of the arts college to keep pace with the rapid growth of the other two colleges when trustees action fixed 1500 as the desirable upper limit of students it qualified the number as follows engineering college 900 business 300 and arts 300 this year the engineering college ex ceeded its quota while the arts col lege lagged behind while no definite plans to meet the situation of an enlarged student body in the future have been made it is possible that a solution to the problem may lie in higher entrance standards present scarcity of rooms is traceable to the activity of the bethlehem steel company with jobs increasing families no longer find it necessary to take in boarders opints out dean mcconn dr

the 35 colleges belonging to the association okeson's announcement was made at a special meeting presided over by himself at the hotel mcalpin new york before the gathering of football coaches and athletic offi cials for grid rules interpretations the various schools identified with the association in which oke son makes all of the officiating ap pointments are divided into three classes with varying fees for ob taining officials plans submitted three plans were submitted at the meeting one if it had been adopt ed would have broken up the as sociation this called for the reten tion of okeson by the thirteen col leges of class 10 which pay the highest fees to carry on his duties for them the 22 remaining colleges would have been left to shift for themselves the plan which would have end ed the association was defeated but the future is still unsettled the other two plans are still being con sidered both proposals call for a reclassification of the member col leges with a reduction of fees under either plan okeson would have an assistant to relieve him of some of his duties this last stipu lation was agreeable to okeson who signified his willingness to continue in his position under such an ar rangement the final decision of the association has been left to the an nual meeting in december the board of directors will decide then lehigh in class 8 with lafayette n y
