Ellsworth Picks Eighteen To Meet Housing Board
By GARY NEIL PETERSON Kansan Staff Writer
Elections were held at Ellsworth Hall last night to choose an 18-member review committee to study the proposed residence fee. The committee will meet year with the University housing board.
The 18 members were selected as part of the negotiated settlement between Ellsworth residents and the four administration officials who make up the building.
Negotiations began a week ago when Ellsworth residents returned from vacation to discover that the contract and social policy for the 1972-73 school year had been changed without their notification. They then petitioned the housing board, asking a hearing on the change and greater voice in future policy making meetings.
BEFORE THE ELECTION procedures there was an all-hall meeting of the Republican party, the Ombudsman office, David Dysart, Lawrence third-year law student, and Donald K. Alderson, dean of men, speak and answer questions about the policy issues.
Dysart is acting as mediator of all negotiations at the request of the residents
He said his main purpose in attending the meeting was to discuss two points: the policy change—elimination of coeducational floors and the reduction in house rent for 47 hours per day, and how hall residents could be more effective in governing themselves.
Dysart told the students that there would have to be a give-and-take attitude or negotiations would fail. "If the people you elect to talk to the housing board are firm, they will do what they can include the housing board is going to be equally firm. Then you have two choices.
"YOU CAN GO to the chancellor with your problem and I will leave it up to you to guess which side he'll probably come down on, or you can go the University judicially and play that game. That's a full blown trial. You'll be fighting Charles Oldfather, the university attorney, and in essence the odds wouldn't look very good there either. Plus the ruling people on the University court are lawyers, and a few are students." Dvarsa said.
Dysart said the judiciary would be a time-consuming process.
"It would take at least a month or two before your case is heard. That and the notoriety the University would get from such action would probably not be in the best interest of the University, let alone Ellsworth Hall."
HE CONTINUED by saying, "And if you do go to the University judiciary, there's a board—she shall remain nameless—who has said she will go to the Board of Regents and seek to have whatever the judiciary says overturned if it goes against what she says."
Dysart then said he thought the best way
to approach the problem was through
a telephone call. Elsworth Hall to tree with the booster's
The housing board is made up of Donald K. Alderson, dean of men; Emily Taylor, dean of women; J. J. Wilson, director of housing, and William Balfour, vice-chancellor of student affairs, and Mike Sandermever, AURH president.
Third, a third-year law student or a law professor would advise that board on matters of fact and law. He would not have a vote.
FOLLOWING DYSAFT, Alderson made a brief presentation of the housing administration's thoughts on the subject of homelessness and then fielded questions from the audience.
Adterton, in explaining the board's reasons for changing the social policy for Ellsworth, said complaints had been received by the housing board concerning noise, group relations on wings, fears for various reasons, and assaults.
"These considerations were on the agenda, so to speak, at a time when some other things were being discussed. Soon after the opening of school last fall there were concerns about the makeup of our student body. Some people were wondering how much have not been asked at KU. There were questions directed to us as to why we in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in our CWC Program didn't have earlier information about students who would be in our colleges." Alderson said.
Parking Permits Must Be Placed On Cars Todav
Cars using University parking lots must display a permanent parking permit as of
The new permits replace the temporary ones that were issued when the Phase 1 economic controls made a fee hike impossible.
When Phase II started, the University successfully applied to the government for an increase in the parking fee, according to Cara Bob Ellison of Traffic and Security.
Ellison said that registration for permits was fairly normal and that the extra cost did not seem to be discouraging car owners from buying parking permits. He said that his office had not received a lot of complaints about the price hike.
He explained that although prices had gone up, parkers would not be required to pay the higher figure retroactively and would instead have to pay the lower price on a porated basis starting February 1."
He said he did not anticipate any problems with the new permits and that Traffic and Security was receiving "a tremendous amount of cooperation in changing from temporary to permanent permits" from all concerned.
HE EXPLAINED that time was a big factor.
Anderson said another reason for the changes was to get incoming freshmen into a hall where they could receive training in available reading and study skills programs.
"There are certain things we think freshmen should be exposed to," he said.
freshmen should be exposed to," he said. When asked why he thought freshmen were not capable of dealing with a coeducational experience, Alderson said some were but one could not tell who was involved over an application for a residence.
Alderson then was asked whether he wasn't trying to take the role of the parent.
"I certainly don't wish to be a parent-in-
sence. That's not our intention. I don't
think we are in a position where we say
that children should behave like adults,
think you want to do is your business."
ASKED SPECIFICALLY what complaints were received by the board to further prompt the policy change at Ellsworth, Alderson said. "We were also
concerned about how the visitation hours were being used."
One of the members of the audience asked whether there was a concern of racial bias in the interview.
Following the discussions and questions, the approximately 100 residents retired to their respective floors to elect one or more members of the board to meet with the president of the hall, Reather Haynes, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore; the treasurer, Robert Tenny, Raytown, Mo., junior; and the secretary, William Hampsis, Tenn., junior, and the housing board.
TONIGHT AT 7 SELECTION 21 persons will meet with the Orishadhman officer to discuss issues.
Alderson said. "In some cases, ves."
The 21 will meet sometime next week with the housing board and other top administrative officials to review the contract for next year.
After a review is made the 21 will elect representatives to meet with the committee.

When at gasoline bomb exploded at the British Embassy in Dublin, hundreds of chanting demonstrators were marching outside. They were protesting the battle Sunday in Londonerry which took the lives of 13 civilians. The Sinn Fein, political wing of the outlawed Irish Republican Army, called the protest.
The slaying, and the death Sunday in a London hospital of a British army major shot in Ulster five months ago, brought Northern Ireland's death toll in $2\%$ years of strife to 232. Twenty six have died this month.
Troops came under repeated fire Monday in Helfast's Catholic strongholds during violent reaction to the Sunday shootings. A soldier was seriously wounded when a guerrilla gun penetrated his armored car. School divisions drove to snow packed gutters when they caught in a cross-fire, but none were hurt.

The Irish Republic recalled its ambassador in London, Donal O'Sullivan. An Irish Embassy spokesman called the move "the strongest protest we can make" without rupturing diplomatic relations with Britain.

Students to meet with housing board
House to Hear Regents
By JOYCE NEERMAN Kansan Staff Writer
Members of the Kansas Board of Regents and presidents of the six state colleges and universities will go before the House Ways and Means Committee Wednesday in Topeka to seek additional funds for higher education in Kansas.
Paul Wunsch, chairman of the Board of Regents, is scheduled to speak at 9 a.m. and is expected to make general requests for training programs in appropriations for salary raises for classified and unclassified personnel, increased operating expenses and
THE REGENTS are expected to ask for a two-step salary increase for classified personnel at the schools. Gov. Robert Docking and State Budget Director James Bibb both have recommended one-step increases.
The regents are also expected to ask for 10 per cent salary increases for unclassified personnel at the University of Kansas and Kansas State University, and for 8 per cent increases for unclassified personnel at the other state schools.
The governor recommended a 5 per cent increase for those faculty involved in educational programs at the colleges and universities, but his proposal for faculty involved in the extension program and research activities was only a 1 per cent
PHIL. ARNOLD, budget officer for the board, told the board that a $219,608 increase in the governor's budget for fiscal 1973 would be needed to provide a 5 per cent salary increase for all unclassified employees.
Bibb had only recommended a 2 per cent salary increase for faculty, following a review of the program.
KU officials have voiced their disappointment about what they called an apparent lack of recognition of the effects of inflation for the second year in a row.
In November, at the Governor's Budget Hearings in Topeka, Wunsch said, "National economists who have studied the relationship of the economy in
"THIS DOES NOT provide for any catch-up at all—just enables us to stay even. Three years of very small increases as against a need for at least 10 per cent per year—do you wonder why we ask, "Where are we going?"
situations of higher education estimate that if the expense of normal growth and inflation is to be met, budgets must be maintained. If the cost per year just to maintain a static position.
The governor recommended a total budget of $66.6 million for the six state colleges and universities, representing an increase of $6.2 million or 7.4 per cent from the estimated expenditures during the current fiscal year.
The regents and Dr. William O. Rieke, vice chancellor for health affairs, are expected to seek additional funds for a planned expansion of the University of Kansas Medical Center. The total cost of remodeling and remodeling is estimated at $5 million.
WUNSCH WILL outline in detail the discrepancies between the governor's budget recommendations and the regent's requests. The six state heads of the schools will then focus on specific problems that Wunsch has mentioned.
Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmer's Jr. is
expected to speak on the problem of inadequate pay increases for classified and unclassified personnel. President James McCain of K-State will probably discuss problems in differences in raises for those faculty involved in teaching and research, and extension. A number of K-State faculty are involved in agricultural research.
President Clark Alberg of Wichita State University is expected to point out the problems of increased operating costs and will present the needs of the medical center.
DAVE MILLER, KU student body president, will send letters supporting the Board of Regents' 1973 budget request of $176.0 million to legislators from this region Wednesday. Of the student body members who are elected and universities will be sending similar letters this week to legislators from their areas.
State budget director Henry Bibb, has recommended that the Regents request payment.
Miller painted a bleak financial picture
for college senators at last week's senate
meet.
He said that the financial situation "still isn't good. I wish I could tell you it were."
KU Fees Due; $10 Penalty After Wednesday Deadline
University of Kansas enrollment fees are due Wednesday. If a student has not paid his fees by this date, a $10 penalty fee will be added to his University fees.
Students who did not receive their statements should obtain a duplicate at the Office of the Registrar, window 1, before Wednesday.
Charles M. Burrows, associate comproller, said that students who wrote checks on insufficient funds for their fees must submit them until the last minute to write their checks.
If a student writes an insufficient check,
burrows said, the University notifies him in
advance.
Burrows said that if a student wrote a second check to the University, and it is again returned as insufficient, his fees would no longer be accepted by check. He must then pay his fees in cash, or by cashier's check or money order.
If a student has not paid his fees by
paying them, will not be able to complete
his enrollment.
