Convenience, Economy Are Cited As Reasons for Dorm Popularity
Economy and convenience are the main reasons residence hall occupancy has increased this year, administrators and students said yesterday.
Emily Taylor, dean of women, said each student had his own reason for staying at a residence hall. She said some students liked the atmosphere, some liked the companionship and some like the convenience and economy.
John Beisser, Salma junior and president of the Association of University Residence Halls (AURH), said economics and an economic science department were the main reasons for increased occupancy.
Almost 200 students have moved into University residence halls since last fall. Presley, University residence halls contain approximated 1400 students, the largest of which are 4,167 residence halls. Last semester, only 3,908 students lived in University residence halls.
J. J. WILSON, director of housing, said he assumed that when students came in for the spring semester, it was because a residence hall was the cheapest and easiest place to live.
John Bowman, Hutchinson senior,
agreed. This is his second year at McCollum
"I moved in because of the price," he said. "I thought it was more convenient. They need to be more friendly."
Jim Swafford, Topeka senior, has lived in Ellsworth Hall for the past two and a half years. He said that the main reason he had to stay at a residence hall was the convenience.
"I tried an apartment for one year," Swafford said, "and the cooking and cleaning were a little bit of an annoyance. In my situation, I found I had more privacy in the dorm although there are people around."
Swafford has a single room at Eldsworth.
BILL MARKLEY, Saina senior, has lived at Oliver Hall the past three and a half years.
Markley, a resident assistant (RA) at Oliver, said Oliver always seemed to be the nearest residence hall to him.
"I've always liked the atmosphere, the kids and the staff members here," he said.
Oilman Says Exploration Needed for Self-Sufficiency
Markley said the allowance of creativity made students want to come back to the school.

"In particular, it would be the changing policies in the last four years—the relaxation of (open) hours, allowing employees more time to be more inside their rooms than previously.
STUDENTS can individualize their rooms now. In general, the students can change their room.
Beth Paxton, Breasted木，Mo., junior and resident of Lewis Hall, said the residence halls offered services and companionship that students couldn't find in off-campus
The United States will be dependent on oil and gas for the next 10 to 15 years because the development of nuclear energy has hurt oil. The Department of Energy's Production, Denver, Colorado, said last night.
"I think there's more opportunity to make friends in the dorms," she said.
Paxton said she would probably live in a residence hall again next year, but she said
Wolf spoke at a meeting of the University of Kansas Petroleum Engineering Club.
"It seems as if a lot more invade now than it was my freshman year," he said. "I think I was a little bit more."
"Some oil men say we can be self-sufficient in the next 10 years, but others say we can never again be self-sufficient if we had been using as they have in the past," he said.
Markley said Oliver Hall had changed in the last few years.
"Excessive profits" is a term people use about oil companies when they compare this year's profits to last year's, he said. People often don't look at the oil company profits over the last 10 years or look at the costs of oil exploration.
"Anyway, it's certainly been a good experience for me," she said.
He estimated that there would be a 40-year supply of oil at current production rates if all federal offshore lands along the Atlantic coast were leased and developed.
Between 75 and 80 per cent of all energy used in the United States today comes from oil and gas, Wolfe said.
East Coast are of great potential help in our achieving self-sufficiency, Wolfe said.
The United States has only 8 per cent of the estimated Free World oil reserves, Wolfe said. The Middle East and Africa have 82 per cent of the estimated Free World oil reserves. Russia is self-sufficient in her energy needs.
"We have to have increased incentives and maintain current incentives for oil exploration in the United States or companies will continue to go overseas, Wolfe
RANDY ALTMAN, Prairie Village sophomore and resident of Hassinger Hall for one and a half years, said he didn't plan to live in a residence hall again.
"The food quality has gone down and sometimes it too noisy," he said.
Altran said there were some benefits to residence hall living, regardless of the poor.
Trouble with environmentalists is an obstacle to expanding oil refining in the United States, Wolfe said. He said that the federal government has repeatedly restored to its pre-ice spill conditions.
"I don't have to do the dishes," he said,
"and it allows me more time to do my
things."

Campus Strays To Be Picked Up
Security and Parking officers will report stray dogs on the University of Kansas campus to Lawrence animal controllers starting Monday, Keith Nitcher, vice chancellor for business affairs, announced yesterday.
The leash law stipulates that dogs running at large and not under the charge, care or control of their masters can be picked up by them and taken to the Humane Society's kennels.
Nitcher said that because loose dogs were getting into University buildings the Lawrence leash law would be enforced on campus.
To claim a dog, the owner must show proof that the dog has had a current rabies shot and also must pay a $10 pick-up fee. If the dog is not claimed within 24 hours of the dog isn't claimed within 24 hours.
