That repre- sents the smallest rise in 10 years. The association reJ)orted, however, that there is no ex- tra space 1n college and that one-third of the 82 institutions included m the survey will be forced to turn away 4.3,971 qualified applicants.

Total applications to 80 schools stood at 559,456 March 1 compared to 551,870 a year ago. It is anticipated that first-time freshman en- rollment this fall will reach 301,790, compared to 294,903 a year earlier. ewer institutions than last r, however, showed large os of applications to open- dng the list was State University of New York with
