U W to Turn Down Host of Students at Edison
The University of Wisconsin may deny about 1 000 Wisconsin high school graduates admission as freshmen this fall due to housing shortages. Mueller, housing bureau director, says enrollment could top 14 000, with priority given to state veterans and no new out of state students. Existing dorms will be repurposed for men, reducing space for women and forcing many applicants to find off campus housing.
