No Beds

While there currently is enough space in the Houses to accommodate most of the transfer students refused housing this year, Harvard will not give them rooms at least until an ongoing review of all nonresidents is concluded next month, a College official said yesterday.

Thomas A. Dingman '67, assistant dean for housing, said that the College wants to set its long-term policy on housing transfers before making any short-term House assignments that it may not be able to continue next year.

Some of the 52 upperclass transfer students in question, as well as 20 freshmen accepted last spring as forced commuters, have requested on-campus accommodations this year despite the College's insistence that they were accepted without any guarantee of housing.
