Students can talk to apartment housing complexes to arrange summer housing.
With summer quickly approaching, many students have housing on their minds. While some choose to go home for the summer months, others may decide to search for apartments or houses for their summer stay. Searching for a good, affordable place to live is always very important. Whether it's for a year or only a few months, most students have a hard time figuring out how to start the process of searching.
According to Megan Madsen, The Grove Lawrence sales manager, the best way to find a summer lease is by stopping by the apartment complex's leasing office to ask. Not all apartment complexes are the same though. Some might have a subleasing policy and others may not. Subleasing is a route that many students decide to take; this allows the renter to put someone else's name on the lease if the renter is no longer going to be living there.
going to be living there Madsen also suggests beginning your search early on.
"I suggest looking for summer leases in December. The chances of securing a spot are higher the earlier you start looking;" Madsen said.
Campus Living author for hercampus.com. Kathleen Corlett, suggests knowing ahead of time what you're looking for in summer housing. This includes knowing whether or not a place is furnished, if it is within walking distance to your destinations and whether it comes with roommates or not. Doing this will allow you to narrow down your options and eventually rank them. Corlett also says to check websites, such as sublet.com and craigslist.com for advertisements. She also said that when you find an ad you like, accumulate all the information you can, such as asking for photos and pricing details. Also, inquire about the current tenants and who will be living there over the summer months. From there you can do your research for the desired places and find your best fit.

alongside the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to take the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of tuberculosis.
According to the Centers for Disease Control's website, tuberculosis is spread when a person with the disease in his or her lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, speaks or sings. People nearby may become infected when breathing in the tuberculosis bacteria. The disease is not spread by physical contact such as shaking hands or sharing food and drink.
Only those who spent time in a confined space with the infected student are at risk of developing tuberculosis and those at risk have already been notified.
The University encourages students and faculty to visit the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department's webpage for more information.

Last Thursday in a hearing, Jayhawkers' appeal to the disqualification was turned down by the Court of Appeals based on multiple conflicts of interest in multiple coalitions. The appeal was then expedited to the University Judicial Board and the board is slated to make a decision within a week or so.
mely said it is possible the Court of Appeals will issue another injunction, which means voting results could be released later than Friday.
Until the next student body president and vice president are determined, the current executive staff said in a press release that they will continue to work diligently and await a timely decision. They also said they trust the UIB will make a decision that upholds the integrity of the Student Senate elections process.
