New hall vacating rates proposed
A proposal that would benefit students canceling residence hall contracts early has been submitted by the Association of University Residence Hall's (AURH) Contract Committee to the Administrative Housing Board (ABHB).
The new system would base residence hall vacations on a weekly formula rather than on a daily schedule.
When a student cancels a hall contract early, he must pay a sum of money for the time he has lived in the hall. Vacating rates cover fixed expenses incurred by the resident and are paid according to a set vacating rate schedule.
Fred McElhenne, associate dean of men and contract committee adviser, said that the team's work will be done in a timely fashion.
WARTBURG, Tenn. (UPI)—James Earl Ray was found guilty last night and sentenced up to an additional one or two years for escaping from the Tennessee prison where he was confined for the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"The cancellation vacating rate has to make sense, be equitable and pay the bills of responsibility."
Ray guilty of prison break
returned to the committee by the board for more work and clarification.
Ray, who could have received up to five years on the escape charge, testified that he broke out of Brushy Mountain State Prison, near Petros, June 10 because he thought that was the only way he could win a new trial for the King assassination.
The sentence was added to the 99-year
term Ray received after pleading guilty to the 1986 snipter slaying of King in Memphis.
"It was my intention after I was out a couple of months to get in touch with the U.S. Attorney General Griffin Bell, to arrange for a trial in the King case," Ray
NOW, FOR EXAMPLE, hall contracts require a resident who cancels by Oct. 1 to pay the same vacating rate, $500, as the resident who cancels October 31, four weeks
A jury of nine men and three women deliberated two hours and 55 minutes before returning a verdict. They received the case at 7:05 p.m. local time.
Defense attorneys immediately served notice that they would file a motion for a new trial, and the judge scheduled a hearing on the motion for Nov. 28.

"The money is already earmarked. We hire people at the beginning of the year and promise them a certain salary." McElhainese says the salary is a salary of a group of people move out.
McEhennie said residents had to realize that even if they decided to vacate, services had already been contracted and had to be paved for.
"The residence halls have to operate on money they take in. No money is for forthcoming from the Kansas Legislature to them." The state will pay homeowners' paid contract fees, hope residents pay their full contract fees.
"The proposal should lessen the burden on residents who cancel early and also make vacating rates easier for students to understand," he said.
