Abstract: A rank one local system $ \mathcal{L}$ on a smooth complex algebraic variety $ M$ is admissible if roughly speaking the dimension of the cohomology groups $ H^m(M,\mathcal{L})$ can be computed directly from the cohomology algebra $ H^{\*}(M,\mathbb{C})$.

We say that a line arrangement $ \mathcal{A}$ is of type $ \mathcal{C}_k$ for some $ k\ge 0 $ if $ k$ is the minimal number of lines in $ \mathcal{A}$ containing all the points of multiplicity at least 3. We show that if $ \mathcal{A}$ is a line arrangement in the classes $ \mathcal{C}_k$ for $ k\leq 2$, then any rank one local system $ \mathcal{L}$ on the line arrangement complement $ M$ is admissible. Partial results are obtained for the class $ \mathcal{C}_3$.
