Professors Vacate Homes to Accom- modate Students Four professors, occupyinghouses on the Pennsylvania State College campus have been forced to vacate them to make room for thirty girls who want to study scientific house keeping. The young women en tered the institution with the Fresh man class, and are enrolled in the course in Home Econuruxs. Foity seven girls are in the class this year, an increase of thirty ovet last year. More than 200 applicants for ad dission to the Freshman class were turned away because of lack of ac commodations, the registration be ing confined to 646. The total registration in all departments is 2,265, an increase of 239 over last year. Including the) summer ses sion, there have been 3,250 students instructed at Penn State during the year. This is an increase of 300 over last year. Knowing that the demand for en trance would exceed the accommo dations, the college authorities were able to eliminate applicants whose scholastic standing was below par. There are practically no students carrying entrace conditions in the freshman class. This is believed to be an unusual situation in the col leges of this country. In the two-year agricultural course, the class was limited to 146. Last year there weie 117 enrolled in the short course. The Postoffice Site After a recent trip to Washing ton, Postmaster Foster announces that a site will be definitely decided upon, he believes, in the course of the next few days. Eight sites were offered, all of the required dimensions 115 by 160 feet, but at present the authorities at Washing ton seem inclined to favor the lot at the corner o: Beaver avenue and Allen street, on which is now situ ated the Price cottage. Pay La Vie Bills County Clubs and other organi zations must pay theii 1915 La Vie bills before they will receive recognition in the 1916 La Vie.
