Wescoe's Statement
(Story on page 1)
On Monday, November 6, I received a report from the group whom I had asked earlier in the year to study our situation relative to off-campus housing. That report follows in full:
Realizing the need to clarify our procedures on off-campus housing in these times of increasing demand for student housing, the Off-Campus Housing Committee makes the following recommendations:
1. That a permanent off-campus housing committee be appointed by the Chancellor, made up of the dean of students, dean of men, dean of women, and director of dormitories, whose duties shall be to establish policy and review and act on cases involving student landlord or student neighborhood problems.
2. That a properly qualified executive secretary be selected by the committee and appointed by the Chancellor to carry out the policies of the committee.
4. That the University listing service for off-campus rooms and apartments for men and graduate students be continued.
3. That the policy regarding the responsibility of the Dean of Women for approving all housing of undergraduate women be continued.
5. That the Off-Campus Housing Committee operate within the framework described below for the present.
Although we have great confidence in our student body and this University community, complaints are inevitable concerning such matters as the improper use of alcoholic beverages, refusal to show or rent a room, rates, delinquent rental payments, the condition of the physical accommodations, or standards of conduct.
The University does not wish to place property owners who rent to KU students in a defensive and uncomfortable position. It is our hope that property owners can receive a fair return on their investments; that they can enjoy having students in their homes and thus feel a relationship to the University; and that student renters can find conditions in off-campus residences conducive to study.
If, as a result of an investigation of a complaint involving a room or apartment on the University's housing list, the Off-Campus Housing Committee finds that a student has not been treated fairly in his contacts with the property owner or his agent; or that a student has, acting in good faith, been refused a room because of nationality, color, or faith, the address of that particular room or apartment will be removed from our housing list. Good faith is underlined to emphasize the point that the University is not interested in "test cases, checks, or traps." Our responsibility, as we see it, is to help the student who wants and needs housing.
No listings will be altered until a University staff member has talked with the property owner about the matter in question.
With most students settled for the school year, no University
The University, through its appropriate officials, will continue to direct students to vacate rooms and apartments when, and again after careful investigation, it is clear that the student renters and/or their guests do not honor University standards and policies. In these types of cases students may be asked to move to supervised housing where it will be possible to guide their activities.
housing poll will be made at this time. Unless property owners who now have accommodations listed on the University housing list wish to cancel them by writing or calling our Housing Office, we will assume that all addresses on the list are related to Lawrence citizens who will rent their accommodations to any student at the University on the basis of individual merit.

Through the years KU officials have turned to Lawrence citizens on many occasions to discuss special and local needs of the school. There will be many in the 1960s. Expanding enrollments in this decade will mean that all Lawrence businesses will feel the effect of the University. Our students will need housing. Some will be housed in fraternities and sororities; hundreds will be living in our scholarship and residence halls; and the rest, again numbered in hundreds, will live in rooms in private homes or in apartments.
I have accepted the report of the committee and have asked them to implement the policies of the University of Kansas stated in this report.
In the coming years we hope Lawrence residents and their neighbors will find it increasingly true that K.U. men and women, from every walk of life and from all over the world, can be good roomers, good neighbors, and good friends.
These further comments should be made:
At the present time the University does not have the resources to provide an executive secretary for this important group. Neither does it appear that the University will obtain the necessary resources in the near future. Here, as in many other areas, for lack of sufficient administrative personnel the University will have to "make do" for the moment. I shall make every effort to develop the resources necessary within our present financing.
It should be pointed out that as

in the past the listing of rental opportunities, save in the instance of undergraduate women, will not imply University approval of the units. We cannot undertake the responsibility for inspection within our limited means. This point has always been made clear in our list and will continue to be made clear.

The committee plans immediately to circularize those whose names appear on our current list, thereby to inform them clearly of our policies. Anyone who wishes to withdraw a listing at that time will be free to do so. Those who desire to list accommodations in the future will, of course, be made aware of this policy statement and their agreement to it will be obtained before a listing is made.
I trust that the University's posture and policy, as well as my own, are clarified by this statement.

MOSCOW—(UPI) Stalingrad is virtually a city without a name today.
STARTING SATURDAY!
Many signs reading "Stalingrad" are missing, indicating that the name of the famous beleaguered city of World War II may be changed.
Western tourists in Stalingrad told UPI in Moscow by telephone that the railway station sign bearing the name of the city was taken down yesterday.

have been altered. For example, one sign, "let us make our city a city of high culture" formerly read "Our City of Stalingrad." In place of the city's name now is a black space when the red sign flashes on at night.
A large statue of the late dictator has vanished from the nearby Volga-Don Canal. Shortly after Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's denunciation of Stalin at the 22nd Party Congress his statue was taken from the main square of Stalingrad.
EVEN A SMALL mosaic profile of Lenin and Stalin, over a display of honored workers, photographs in the center of town, now shows only Lenin.
