              Housing Filled For Fall Quarter
University officials announced
that campus housing is completely
filled for the Fall Quarter, 1969, at
Florida   Technological   University.
C. Barth Engert, FTU Director of
Housing, said, last Friday, that 45%
of the available accommodations in
the four residence halls have
already been filled by returning
students. The remaining spaces have
been filled by early applicants for
admission.
Engert noted that his office in
the past several days has sent letters
out to over 350 housing applicants
advising them that all campus
housing for the fall 1969 quarter is
filled and that other arrangements
should be made immediately if they
will require housing to attend the
University during the 1969-70
academic year.
He indicated that for the 230
available spaces for the fall quarter,
there have been 764 initial requests
to date. He did point out that a
number of apartment units have
already been completed in the
immediate area of the University
with additional facilities anticipated
for mid-September.
There are no construction plans
for additional on-campus housing
facilities which would be ready by
this coming September, Engert
emphasized. He pledged continued
full cooperation of his Office of
Housing in the efforts of students
to locate suitable housing close to
the University for the fall quarter.

Due to a supplemental allocation
of National Defense Student Loan
funds, a limited amount of extra
aid will be available for the summer
quarter to students already
participating in this program.
Students who qualify and are
interested in using some of these
funds during the summer should
make immediate application to the
Director of Student Financial Aid.
To use these funds a student must
be enrolled for no less than 12
quarter hours and must already be
participating in the program.
William Loving, Director of
Student Financial Aid, also
informed the FuTUre that a report
he has just received revealed that to
date $849 had been collected in
traffic fines and that these funds
would be available for scholarships
in the 1969-70 academic year.
Loving also expressed hope that
legislation pending before the
Florida legislature would result in
added scholarship funds being
available prior to the beginning of
the 1969-70 academic year.
