Construction on the Malot Hall and Robinson Gymnasium additions should be completed in time for the fall semester, while four other building projects begin this year. Allen Wiechert, director of facilities planning, said yesterday.
"The construction work on Malditi Hall should be completed before the equipment contractor should begin before fall," he said. "We should definitely be ready for the fall."
The Robinson Gymnasium addition is scheduled for completion late this summer, Wiechert said.
Other construction projects planned to begin this spring include the renovations of Marvus and Lindley halls and Watson Hall, as well as the rebounded Merrill field Hall which will be renamed, and the
CONSTRUCTION BIDS for the Watson Library work will be accepted early this spring with construction planned to start later in the spring. Wieckert said.
some work on the building's roof will be done.
The renovation, which will cost $2.5 million, will rearrange the present floor layout and replace some of the building more accessible to the hand-dicapped and improve the ventilation system.
The installation of central air conditioning is one of the top priorities for the Lindley Hall renovation, he said.
The Summerfield Hall work will cost $200,000. The money will be used to build a remote access node on the roof for the old computer center, Wiechert said. The old computer center, Wiechert said.
THE LAST work for which the Legislature has approved funds is the $2.8 million Marvin Hall renovation.
Your roof leaks, your roommate won't pay rent, your heat was shut off—students have been told that they often are catapulted into easily available legal action, Steve Ruddick, Student Legal Attorney, said.
Rudwick said some Lawrence landlords were not above pocketing unearned cash. For example, he said, many of landlords have held back security deposit payments.
Lawyer offers advice on leases
Speaking at a workshop on Landlord Tenant relations, Rudd said friction most frequently cropped up in rental agreements about termination of leases.
KANSAN Police Beat
"A minority of landlords in this town take the deposit and just hang on to it and hope nothing happens." Rudnick said. "The guy who did that, they'd get money in their pockets."

He said a number of students unwittingly signed one-year rather than nine-month leases and did not discover it until months later.

Another common tenant overstays was not giving 30 days departure notice, according to the law. If she would be renewed without written notice, A lease, however, isn't a commandment.
A lease, however, isn't a commandment, according to Ruddick, who advised negotiation in such cases.
"You may run into some landlords who won't give you the time of day," Ruddick said, "but it is worth a try. Just don't get too tired." The landlord probably got too hot and not cooperate.
IF NEGOTIATIONS break down, Ruddick said, landlords have legal boundaries which they can’t over-step. For example, Ruddick said, he saw cases outside Lawrence where landlords were illegally taking off doors, leaving them locked and padlocking exits to force rent payment.
He said Lawrence residents were less likely to suffer at the hands of landlords.
"You have a somewhat more
knowledge of the law, better
the University," Ruddick said. "Lew-
ton tenants are willing to fight back although it is hard and second-guess landlords or what."
It was part of a debate in
He said when in doubt, seek legal aid. He said it was important to know the legal limitations and to get all rental agreements in writing.
"Write it down," Rudnick said. "Otherwise, if everything blows up and it ends in court, you get a swatch match. You say one thing and the landlord says another."
RUDICKD SAID agreements between roommates should be equally firm. He said if one roommate moved out, the other could be held responsible for both rent payments.

"The only way any roommate is off the clock is to leave," Roducke emphasized. "If but one roommate takes off, the other roommate is either responsible for all the payment has to be made or the roommate will."

But subleasing is ridden with potential issues. The judge asked Ruddick. He said most landlords required written consent for such a move and then tacked on a sublease fee, ranging in amount from $50 to$ 200.

Alumni Association cancels Soviet trip to support boycott
The University of Kansas Alumni Association has cancelled a cruise through the Ukraine this summer in support of President Carter's proposed boycott of the U.S., with Desk Wirtemore, executive director of the Alumni Association, said yesterday.
Wintermorte said that those who already had paid for reservations for the Dnieper River cruise had been mailed a full refund.
Wintermorte also said many people had called the association to cancel their plans for a reopening crisis began. Others, he said, called to protest the cruise after the president announced it.
"They did not understand that these trips are contracted as much as a year in advance," he said.
The trip, scheduled for June 15-28, cost $1,499 or$ 1,639 depending on accommodations.
Brochures advertising the cruise were mailed just before the crisis began, he said, and 22 people had sent in money.
It was to have included brief stops in Helsinki, Finland; and Kiev, Odessa and Moscow in the Soviet Union, along with the seven-day cruise on the Dnieper.
Because the trip was being sponsored by Alumni Holidays Inc., a private Academy firm, Wintermote said, the Alumni not only won't lose money because of the cancellation.
