JENNIFER STANLEY Staff Writer With rumors flying about the upcoming loss of 600 student housing spaces next fall, the Department of Housing is working to devise a plan to ensure a fair distribution of housing spots. Currently, about 6,000 students live on campus. Six hundred spots, aboutlO percent of the total number on campus, will not be available in the fall of 1996 because of the demolition of Baker and Burney and the closure and renovation of Maxcy. Other changes will be implemented in order to make up for some of these spaces. LaBorde will not continue as guest and single-room housing. This will expand its occupancy from 80 to 240 spaces. Also, the Roost could possibly open up to non-athletes. Students who decide to live on campus late in the summer will have a harder time getting a spot. Gene Luna, director of housing said, "We will almost be able to guarantee spots to everyone who wants to live on campus." All freshmen who wish to live on campus are guaranteed housing. Susan Simpson, residence hall director of Preston said, "The university's first priority is to provide housing for freshmen. It is proven that freshmen excel better academically when they live on campus." Bates House and possibly the Towers will house freshmen. Sims, Capstone, Columbia Hall, Bates West and the Horseshoe will be reserved for continuing students. The housing will be assigned by a lottery system. The Department of Housing is still working on the way the lottery system will work in order to ensure fairness. Housing plans to have the same proportion of classes living on campus next year. Of the 6,000 students on campus, 45 percent are freshmen, 25 percent are a sophomores, 16 percent are juniors and 14 percent are seniors. Next year's percentage of students (per i class) living on campus will remain the same. Housing has yet to decide on several other issues. For example, students might not be able to reserve their same room for next year. The Residence Hall Association is sponsoring an open forum with the Department of Housing on Tuesday, Nov. 7 at 7 pm. "There are so many people with different views, we want to present their views," said Jackie Rice, pres identofRHA. "We just want to present those views." ew of 'Dr. Faustus' Dr. Blease Graham, a USC associate English professor, has government and international edited "The Cambridge Companitudies professor and interim dean ion to Walt Whitman." >f the College of Criminal Justice, Dr. Joel Myerson, a USC ind Dr. William V.
