rooms with two students may
have three this I all because of
overcrowding, a housing official
said.
I he overcrowding in dor&
mitorics is a temporary situation
" created to avoid turning away
students who want to attend
IJSC.', according to Jim Smart
ol USC Housing Services.
Some students can't attend the
university because they cannot
get on campus housing, and the
overcrowding system helps to
placc these students so they can
come here, he said.
"It's a win for the student and
a win for the university. We've
been able to help a new student
and also help the university to at
tract new students," Smart said.
About l(X) students arc normally
inconvenienced by the |
overcrowding, He said, and about
H5-lX) people who signed up for
housing last fall did not show up,
which solves much of the
problem.
I he rooms in Sims have been
overassigned for about 15 years,
^ and the process will be irnP
plcmentcd for the first time at
Preston, Smart said.
They were chosen because of
the si/.c of certain rooms, which
were originally intended to be
three-person rooms, he said.

said, adding that everyone in

When asked how his job as a

involve limited direct authority.

ol prison overcrowding in
light of Tuesday's inmate riot at

longer sentences for repeat
