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.

After a recent trip to Washing

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
