College Admission Denials
Greater Than One In Four
Fixed Space,
Competition
Send Rate Up

Longwood College, like sister
Virginia institutions. lives with
its admissions pressure by over
enrolling and waiting out
building program.
This necessity arises in part be-
cause Of the practice Of many
students applying to several in
stitutions. Not all those applying
win attend. Their final choice will
fall on some other college.
But Longwood's measure Of
safe overenrolling is getting
smaller. President F. G. Lank-
ford point out. AS the percent
age of uprerclass students re-.
manning in school RISES admis-
sion openings for new students
declines.
President Landlord says that
L0ngwood has offered admission
to 480 new students against a
maximum space potential for
326. Well over 100 will have to
withdraw before admissions and
space match.
Waiting List
The college now will start a
waiting list with the overenrOl-
lment margin at its upper safety
limits.
DR.. Landlord said that 1913
students of the present student
body. less seniors, have paid the
required $40 nonrefundable re-
admission fee signifying their in
tent to return for the 1928 SEES
sion.
The number Of returning stu
dents leaves room for 326 new
students, only 286 of which can
be dornItory students. The re-
mainder will be day students.
For the 1852 session now in
progress. Longwood enrolled 423
new students. nearly 100 more
than can be added as new and
transferring students this year.
Late last week, the college had
1910 applications for admission,
including returning and new
students. That is 14O more than
had been received at the COM
parable time a year ago.
30 Per Cent Denial
President Landlord said the
applications from qualified stu
dents is presently creating about
80 per cent admissions denial
rate to new applicants who can't
match the achievements of the
successful group. Until more
dormitory and dining space is
available to increase the student
body, this situation will continue.
These are some of the elements
In the pressure being experinc-
ed at Longwood. They were in the
mind of DR.. Landlord when he
made his two-million -dolIor CAPT.
tai outlay request to the Legisla-
ture for the two years conmenc-
ing July l, 1862.
His request was cut nearly in
half, but what was approved i'll
cluded 4 new dormitory, adj
ditional classroom and labora-
tory facilities and additional
dining space. These won't be
translated into buildings and
space however, until at least
February. 1864.
Meanwhile. the college will
live as best it can with its en-
rollment preSSures.

I read a little treatise on
decorating the other day,
maybe you did too, and the
whole theme Of it was that
fcrmality was "spilling over
onto porches and sun rooms"
Now, Of all places I don't
want my formality spilled
on" it's my porch, patio,
terrace, sun room or back
yard. Half the fun of having
one Of these places is to loll
about in lazy informality.
How would you like to try
being formal" swinging to
and fro in a fringed ham,
mock, or reaching for an ice
cold limeade from a red and
white striped plastic table
cover? Or scratching a mos
quito bite from a comfortable
plaid summer chaiSe?
No, the minute you try
slipping any formality onto
q porch or terrace you are
defeating the whole purpose.
You're Just adding onto your
living room-formality plus
formality which is what
the article writer evidently
thought was a good idea.
Not for me! I like all the
gayety of the bold lowered
prints, the piercing plaids
and the fluoreScently bright
summer colors. And if you
use your sun room in the
winter, they take away the
chill Of the outdoors, and
look as inviting as the sight
OF a tropical island after
being shipwrecked for days.
So, please don't decide to
go formal" (who wants to
be too formal anywhere?)
next year when you look over
those ads with all the cozy.

ture for outdoor living.
