In the fall of 1976, total current use of residence hall facilities was reported to be 61,440, a decrease of less than one percent compared to fall 1975. Of this, 99.6 percent was for resident student use. The average number of students per resident assistant has remained constant for three years. Revenue producing uses of halls for purposes other than resident student occupancy were reduced from a bedcount of 1,351 in fall 1974 to 800 in fall 1975, and to 624 in fall 1976. The trend corresponds with the State University's guidelines, which give first priority to the housing needs of students. Percent utilization of net revenue producing adjusted capacity increased from 99.7 percent in fall 1974 to 102.0 percent in fall 1975, and was reported at 99.4 percent in fall 1976. At some institutions students were still crowded as their numbers exceeded facilities (notably the agricultural and technical colleges at 113.4 percent). (Author/MSE)
