Towers rent will increase
By KATHY MAAG Staff Reporter
Jayawkher Towers will undergo many changes within the next couple of months, including a 10 percent rent increase, longer leasing periods, a new manager, a new tenant and a required parking permit fee.
Apartment rates will range from $395 to $110, up from this year's rates of $235 to $375, J. J. Wilson, director of housing, said yesterday. Costs vary depending on location and use of kitchen, dishwashers and bars.
"The rates are comparable to other apartment complexes in Lawrence," Wilson said. "We're one of the few that pay all utilities."
"It's intended this be a self-supporting, self-liquidating
operation for the Endowment Association and the University."
Leases are being printed and won't be available until April 15, Wilson said. Leases are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
However, current Towers residents have the priority to re-ent their apartments until April 30.
"We wanted to announce our rates earlier, but we weren't in a position to." Wilson said. "We're still four months before school starts."
Contracts were lengthened to simplify leasing, he said. Nine-month contracts were offered this week that will enable the lease will run from Aug. 5 to May 31.
"Early Bird Specials," discounts for early leasers, will not be offered this spring.
"We found it was easier to start earlier than have a lot of specials," he said.
Summer leases will run from June 5 to Aug. 1 and will be covered under this year's rates.
The Towers will also have a new manager. Don Bebau, two-year project manager, is resigning April 19 that will replace him in the position.
This year, free permits were issued from the Towers office.
But along with a new parking lot, residents will also have to buy a $22 parking fee from the University.
In an attempt to ease the parking problems at the Towers, a new 70-car parking lot will be built this summer so Irving Hill Road
"Towers residents will pay to park for a University lot, just like any residence hall, scholarship hall or Stouffer Place," Wilson said. "But a parking spot still will not be guaranteed."
604 pints exceed goal for blood drive
The KU Panhellenic Association and Interfraternity Council all-campus blood drive ended successfully its project 609-pint coal quote.
A total of 604 pints of blood had been donated when the blood drive ended, Joy Ann Hanson, Lawrence junior, Panellenic vice president for campus
affairs and its blood drive chairman, said. The drive ran from Tuesday through yesterday.
Hanson said a total of 193 pints were donated on Tuesday, 192 on Wednesday and 219 yesterday. A daily quota of 200 pints had been set for the drive.
people registered show up to give blood, but we had a lot of walk-ons."
"We had a real good response," Hanson said. "We probably had more
She said that more than 100 volunteers from KU Greeks housed one-and-a-half hour slots to sign people into the program, where they serve refreshments and handle the blood.
Hanson said the 600-pint goal was comparable to past blood drives.

Parking lot addition creates conflicts
By KATHY MAAG Staff Reporter
Much to the anger of Stouffer
Neighborhood residents Jayhawker
Towers will have a new 70-car parking
space directly behind Stouffer builders 23.
Concerns about safety and noise top the list of Stouffer complaints about the parking lot. The proposed site will force the relocation of 10 small gardens and come about 29 feet away from the Stouffer building.
“It’s just not fair,” Tim Grillot, Parsons second-year law student and a Stouffer resident, said. “Although it is fun, campus, it’s quiet here and we have kids.
"We really don't want the parking lot at all."
Griot said he planned to write letters to J.J. Wilson, director of housing, and Acting Chancellor Del Shankel.
Similar complaints were voiced by several Stouffer residents.
"I know they have parking problems at the Towers, but so do we." Bonnie Byers, Lawrence junior and a Stoffer resident, said. "I have a 2-year-old kid and they're cutting down the area the kids can play in."
THE PROPOSED SITE was chosen because it was the closest land available near the Towers, Wilson said.
"We think the greatest use of the land is for Towers parking," he said. "We'll relocate the gardens and children's playing area (near building 23)."
"I am willing to talk to Stouffer residents anytime they want to talk about it."
Wilson said the residents had nothing to worry about.
"I do not think the Stouffer residents have any more fear of Towers residents the Towers residents to do of Stouffer." It's not necessarily a valid concern.
But Stouffer Neighborhood Association chairman Bill Carswell said the residents were concerned about the proposed lot.
"We have asked the architect to place some kind of barrier between Stoutufer and the lot," he said. "But he said there were not enough funds.
"We want a commitment they will physically isolate the lot."
Wilson said the architect was looking into the possibility of a chain link fence to separate the two properties. One resident suggested a cement wall, but Wilson said that would be too costly. The new lot will cost about $100,000.
AN OPTION to build additional decks on the current lots was dismissed because of an estimated $400,000 cost.
Carswell said that one new lot would not alleviate the Towers parking problems.
"I want to assure Stouffer residents they will not have to pay for the new lot," Wilson said. "Only Towers will be used to pay for it."
