An unexpected increase in en
ollment, swelling the USC stu
lent body to 7,200, has caused a a
eriously overcrowded housing sit- 9
tation and led the Dean of Women
o remark that she feels "like the
Id woman in the shoe."
Director of Housing Joseph
3arnes said this week that over
|00 students are still on waiting
ists for rooms. In addition, there
tre 32 girls packed three to a
-oom in Sims, 32 living in the
south study, 12 in the McClintock
tudy, and six more in the Wade
lampton study. Coker, a men's
lorm, is also housing three to a
-oom.
The sardine-like situation will
)e taken care of first, said Barnes.
5tudents living three to a room
iave first priority on vacancies,
with those on the waiting list
oming next.
Since the beginning of the se- .
nester, 93 students have dropped
)ut of school, vacating their
-ooms. Barnes said that these j
racancies have already been filled, a
)ut as the semester progresses,
he waiting list should dwindle C
onsiderably. h
Dean of Women Elizabeth Clot- p
worthy praised the girls saying,
'I would like to commend the girls C
vho have had to triple-up, live in p
i study, or in Tivoli (former o
,raduate women's quarters) -they v
iave all been good sports." t
t
"Several girls who were living a
a
)ff-campus have been moved on e
-ampus. At present, there are 143 9
nore girls than there are com
ortbale accommodations for." t
S
"I should feel like the old
,voman in the shoe," Dean Clot- d
vorthy continued, "but the girls -
1ave been so cooperative that it
ias been a pleasure."
Students tripling-up are paying t
~ull room fees, but the Housing n
said that they will be moved into -
iormal quarters as soon as possi
>le. The date for switching rooms
ias been set for Oct. 15, 16, and 17.
Students moved onto campus
luring the semester will pay only
iportion of the room fees, de
'ending on their length of resi
lence in the dlornms-.
Of the total University enroll- y
nent of 8,400, 7,200 are attending r
lasses on the campus here in r
C~olumibia. This is an increase over
tast year of 700. Director of Ad-t
missions Rollin Godfrey expects a r
19615 enrollment in excess of 9,500 i
for the University and its bran- a
rhes. By then, new dlormitories will r
provide space for 890 more stu
lents.C
