Battle Tough for Coed Hall
A three-year battle for a coed scholarship hall at the University of Kansas could be lost because of a shortage of three women applicants.
Frank Benciverg, assistant to the dean of men and adviser to the four men's scholarship halls, said Wednesday that the University Housing Committee would review late this week for an app to All-Scholarship Hall (ASCH) to create a coed hall.
Bencivengo said the proposal, to be presented to the housing committee, was to establish a coed scholarship hall for 49 students in Scholarship Hall. Pow a men's hall.
The coed hall can house 52 persons, but only 49 persons, 19 women and 30 men, were selected by a subcommittee of the ASHC.
Bencivengo said the ASH6 had originally planned to accept 22 women, but only 19 qualified for the coed hall. He said 41 men had qualified for the 30 positions.
Applicants for the coed hall were required to be either present residents of any of the eight scholarship halls or to have previously lived in a scholarship hall.
The housing committee might reject the application by ASHC for the coed hall, because it is not on the schedule.
City-County Teamwork For Ambulance Sought
Douglas County Commissioner Walter R. Craagan said Wednesday that the Lawrence City Commission was "rather promissible" with its statements Tuesday about the county's financial responsibility for the city-county ambulance service.
The city commission began seeking applications for a new private ambulance service, servicing Lawrence only, after Larry Marcum, owner of Citizens Ambulance, said both the city and county, announced he would discontinue service March 25.
"We'll have to sit down with the city commission in the near future and try to understand what happens."
"I'm optimistic," County Commissioner I. J. Stoneback said. "I think we can still cooperate with the city as we've done in the past."
The past Stoneback said the county commission
had not been told the ambulance service would be discontinued. He first heard about it on television, he added.
"Ambulance services have been sponsored by cities, counties, and in some cases, a hybrid, like in Douglas County," County Commissioner Arthur A. Heck said.
"In Douglas County," he added, "the city has taken the lead and the county has subsidized the operation. We contribute what we consider a proper share."
"One thing's for certain." he continued, "it would be too bad if the city and county go their separate ways. We've generally seen it first time and I see no reason why we won't this time."
However, Heck said, "perhaps it should become totally a county service."
If the application for the coed hall is accepted by the housing committee, about half of the residents of Stephen will be admitted. Another type of housing, Bovencivo said,
The establishment of a coed scholarship hall still seems controversial to some, Bencivengo said, and three vacancies could place the whole project in jeopardy.
vacancies might create a deficit for funding the hall.
Bencivengo said none of the Stephenson residents seemed to mind having to leave the town. A deposition must be reached so that other plans could be made if Stephenson remains
