<p>Swarthmore to Accept Limited Number of Students Displaced by Katrina Disaster </p>

<p>SWARTHMORE, Pa. – Swarthmore College will open its doors to a limited number of students displaced by Hurricane Katrina. </p>

<p>President Alfred H. Bloom said today the College will welcome up to 15 students from institutions closed by the disaster in the Gulf region. They will be accepted as special students for one semester, contingent on their qualifications and their understanding that classes are already in session and that enrollment in particular classes is subject to space availability. </p>

<p>The College is considering further responses to the disaster.</p>

<p>Yes, I saw that...but since classes started quite early, August 29th, I wonder how many students will avail themselves of the opportunity. I hope housing is also included in the deal, since I don't know about finding housing outside campus; how hard that will be, that is.</p>

<p>Apparently at least one Tulane person is living in Mary Lyon 3rd floor right now.</p>
