Single room rates may fall
Stoner hopes to fill new vacancies in residence hall system
By Jeremy Kohn
Kansan staff writer
A need to fill empty residence hall rooms led University housing officials to propose a decrease for next fall's single room rate.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, submitted next fall's student housing rate proposal to the Residential Programs Advisory Board on Wednesday. Soster suggested a 9.8 percent, or $220 decrease in the annual rate that would lower the yearly rate to $2.924. This year's single school rate is $2.944.
Next fall, the single room rate will be $88 more than the double room rate, compared to $1.004 more than the double room rate this year
The board is a planning organization for student housing that must

approve changes in housing rates.
The proposed decrease now must be approved by the board, the office of
the Commissioner, the chancellor and the Board of Regents.
Frdl McElhenee, director of residential programs, said the proposed decrease was proposed to fill empty rooms at residence halls next fall.
Stoner said residence halls opened with few students this year. Officials said that procedure procedures and rules may have contributed to the decrease of 235 students at the Lawrence campus this fall.
McElhenie said Friday that this fall marked the first time in 14 years that the University did not begin the year with students in temporary
housing. The smaller freshman class, which usually is the largest group living in the residence halls, uses the lower occupancy rate.
In past years, McElhene said, no more than 10 percent of a half's rooms could be single, and the application deadline for single rooms used to be May 31. These restrictions will be lifted for next fall.
Stoner said that in addition to the 300 single rooms occupied now, about 200 single-room students were left unoccupied and not incurred loss in the price decrease.
Because the housing office wants more students in residence halls next fall, McBeehll said the income would be higher. The room was better than none at all.

KU residence hall census recount
By Mark Fagan
By munt Pugan Kansan staff writer
Data from a census recount survey in KU residence halls will be forwarded today to the secretary of state's office in Topeka, but results will not be known until later this week
The KU survey is part of a census recount of residence hall residents at the seven Board of Regents schools. Residents were surveyed to find out what they considered their permanent homes
The secretary's office commissioned the study after a request last week by local legislators. State legislative districts are reapportioned according to figures from the census.
According to this year's census, Douglas County had 621,937 acres of agriculture; census in 1954 said the county had 608,825 acres.
Fred McElhenie, director of residential pro
grams, said results from KU would not be known until later this week when data would be tabulated by the secretary's office in Topeka. Housing officials will not interpret or tabulate any data
"That's not our job," McElhenie said. "We won't know, ourselves, how many people we contacted." Resident assistants in the eight KU residence hills surveyed residents last week.
Brad Bryant, director of the Kansas census, said residence halls were not included in last spring's census because of an interpretation that including them was against the law.
"The law says, specifically, that college students are assumed to be counted with their parents unless they declare a specific permanent residence," he said. "In the case of dormitories, we made a policy decision as meaning they are not permanent residences. They are temporary."
Residence halls were the only group in Lawrence that were left out of the census. Bryant said,
"We went around and asked people in apartments, and most of them said that they were here," he said. "But if there are some that say it's their permanent address, we'll count them."
Bryant said he did not expect a large change in the census count. He said there were only about 5,000 students in residence halls at KU, and most of them claimed the permanent residence of their parents.
John Wine, assistant secretary of state, said the secretary's office would gather data from Regents meetings on the issues.
He said the office at first planned to have results last Friday.

Open enrollment for health insurance coverage begins today and ends Nov. 10.
Employees may choose from four types of coverage:

Last year, only two types of coverage were used.
Millie Smith, staff benefits director, said that the information packet sent to employees' work addresses would explain what they would need to do to enroll.
"There are specific instructions in the for the people who do need to re-enroll." Smith said.
- employee only
covered dependents, Smith said.
Employees who now have full-family coverage automatically will be enrolled in that plan effectually.
Although Blue Cross and Blue Select full tanh- coverage plans will cost about the same as 1888, full-family coverage on HMO Kansas insurance will cost $48 to $80 more a month in 1889.

KU art professor creates cover for 1988 phone book
By Cindy Harger Kansan staff writer
The directories are distributed
The cover of this year's University of Kansas telephone directory NCAA basketball championship with painting by a KU professor of art.
free to campus offices and residence balls, and are to be delivered Wednesday. Thursday and Friday
For students who live off-
campus, the directories should go on sale at the KU Bookstores about Oct. 24. The price has not been determined yet.
The directory cover features a watercolor print of a championship t-shirt and a Hawaiian print shirt, painted by Michael Otl, professor
“It's a composite of people out in the streets celebrating (after the championship game) 'Oh, sad," said a girl through a battle. They were wearing torn clothes, T-shirts and jeans. Others were dressed victoriously in bright colors. Some were wearing expensive suits and bowties.
Jeannot Seymour, University Relations art director, said she was especially pleased with the art because it was "fresh and brand-
new, and we've never had any-
thing quite like it before on the
cover of the University's telephone-
directory.
"Some years we chose photo, traps of campus scenes." See Yvette Mills and Katherine Illustrations. But we always try to elect something indigenous to the city.
"I think it is one of the best covers we've had in a long time."
The painting is one of about 100 in a series of T-shirt paintings OT has done in the past four years. Some of these paintings are shown in the Kansas City area, Chicago and Washington, D.C.
"Shirts have become advertising of a person's good taste or lack of good taste," he said. "People wear them and they wear clothes by the clothes they wear."
If the directories contain an error in a name or number, the person should call the chief telephone operator at 864-3913.
Ott has painted shirt styles ranging from disco palette to styles of the 45s and 36s. He said he was inspired by the paintings to be portraits of people.
If the error occurred with a student name, the student should also contact the office of student offices at window one in Strong Hall.
Faculty or staff members whose name or number is incorrect are not allowed. 604-4942. If an office number is incorrect, University Relations must be notified.
