In the past, students were free to apply at any time of year without fear of being turned away because of space. But if the University doesn't receive more state funding, nine of the University's campuses will have to cut off application considerations in December because they won't have the resources to support so many stu- dents. The University's Board of Trustees announced that it will probably have to turn away about 10,000 students if they don't receive more funding. NOT SO FAST Yale University will accept fewer early applicants this year, the Yale Daily News reported. 885 students were admitted through the University's early action program last year, and 80 percent of them matriculated. Because this per- centage was higher than anticipated and the school received a record number of applicants this year, fewer students will be admitted, Dean of Admissions Jeff Brenzel said. "We did take more students last year from a record-shattering early pool, and we somewhat underesti- mated how many would accept our offer," Brenzel said in an e-mail. "We were very glad to have these students, but we ended up with somewhat less room in the spring than I would like." NO MORE RATS Flyers warning students living in the International House of George Washington University about a rat infestation proved to be false, the GW Hatchet reported. The flyers instructed students to evacuate their rooms and leave furni- ture 10 inches from the walls on Nov. 19. Tim Shea, assistant property manager of Ambling Management, e-mailed house managers to inform them of the hoax. There is an ongoing investigation, he said. "There is currently no rodentprob- lem in International House, and resi- dents are not required to vacate their rooms," Shea said. A FORMAL APOLOGY The Bob Jones University in South Carolina issued an apology for their past racist policies, the Associated Press reported. The University, founded by a Chris- tian fundamentalist in 1927, refused to admit black studentsuntil 1971, and banned interracial dating until 2000. Stephen Jones, president of the University, said he issued the apology because he is still questioned about the school's views.
