1936 HOUSE APPLICATIONS EXCEED VACANCIES BY 35

774 members of the Class of 1936 have made application for the 739 available rooms in the Houses next year, according to an announcement yesterday by the newly-formed Central Committee in charge of House Applications. This number represents an increase of 16 over last year's applications and of 51 over the applicants of the Class of 1934.

A preliminary examination of the blanks shows a demand in excess of the number of available rooms priced below $260, while the demand for rooms above that price is less than the supply. It is expected that announcement of assignments will be made on or before May 1.
