CAMPUS AND AREA Page 8 KU won't offer vacation housing in halls University Daily Kansan, November 16, 1983 By the Kansan Staff KU's residence halls will be closed for Thanksgiving break because only six students applied for vacation housing. Students living in residence and scholarship halls were required to request housing by Monday. The office of residential programs, however, had stipulated that 50 students had to sign up to keep a residence hall open. Fred McElhenie, director of the office of residential programs, said, "Six people is only a drop in the bucket, compared to the number of people it When a residence hall is kept open during a vacation period for students who live too far away to travel home, security and front desk personnel are on duty at the clock. Usually, hall members staying for the break fill the jobs. would take to keep a residence hall staffed." Only residence hall and scholarship hall students had an option to stay in vacation housing The four-night安排 would have cost each resident $40. HOWEVER, MCCELHENIE AND officials of the KU office of housing said that they did not know how much it would cost the University to keep a residence hall open. McElhene said that McCollum Hall was the hall usually used for vacation housing because most students who stayed during vacation already lived in McCollum. MeElhennie said that residence halls were the only living units that had rooms that could be converted into classrooms and other instructional students during vacation periods. "We're not, obviously, going to move someone into someone else's room." Residents from the hall that would have stayed open would have been abandoned. McEhlenie said. "We have end-rooms in McColum and rooms that are used for other purposes that could easily be converted into temporary housing. There, there is more latitude for getting people into the system. "I don't know what the exact figures are, but it would have been at an open door. I would keep a hall open. There would have been more people working than staying." HE SAID THAT notices had been posted in residence halls and scholarship rooms, inform students that accommodation housing may not be available over Thanksgiving. KU will offer new microcomputing class By the Kansan Staff The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences recently added an introductory microcomputing course to its curriculum for the 1964 spring semester. Although the course is not in the timetable, students can enroll in LAAS 140 Orientation to Computer Application and the various uses of microcomputers. The class has no prerequisites, but students will be expected to buy five computer diskettes and a textbook. Students will not be graded, but will receive either credit or no credit for the one-hour class. Robert Nunley, professor of geography and associate director of Latin American studies, said the intent of the course was to introduce students to the applications of the microcomputer, such as word processing, spread sheets and data base management. The class also will give students enough back hands-on experience to apply microcomputing to their own work, he said. NUNLEY SAID students would work in groups of three on Zenith 100 microcomputers in the Academic Computer Center and in the foreign language labs in Wescoe Hall. He said he planned to have students work in small groups because they seemed to learn better that way. "When people first sit down at a keyboard, they are tense because the keyboard looks intimidating," he said. "Then after 15 minutes they swap and become the observer and watch someone else push the wrong button. . . I've found that students who work in two or three learn more rapidly." Nunley has taught various microcomputer workshops on and off campus. As a technical director for the Center for Latin American studies, he supervives the application of microcomputers to administration academic demands. Students wishing to enroll in the course should call their adviser or the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for more information at 864-3661 THEREE SECTIONS OF the four-week class will be offered in the spring — Jan. 12 to Feb. 8, Feb. 14 to March 19 and Mar. 27 to April 23. The class will be taught from 8:00 to 9:20 a.m. on Tuesday and Thursday and students are expected to schedule two two-hour labs sometime on Wednesday and Friday or on Tuesday and Thursday. The course cannot be used to satisfy a distribution requirement in the natural sciences, the social sciences or the humanities. Nunley said the College decided to offer the class because of the increased demand for computer knowledge. The computer science department, he said, lacked the faculty to teach such a course. He said he hoped the course would lead to other advanced level courses that would be taught by the profes-sors schools to apply to the student's own field. The course probably will be modified, he said, as more and more high schools begin to offer beginning courses.

DORNAN BRIAN DAILEY Young Americans for Freedom, Inc. America is the last and best hope for mankind. You know it and Andropo knows it. But there is a man in the White House who knows it too! Our President has presented numerous proposals to halt the arms race, only to have the Soviets stubbornly reject them and threaten to end the negotiations. It is time for the Soviets to agree to those sensible and fair proposals. The American people have been mislead for too long by the left-wing "peace movement" orchestrated in Moscow. Like the radicals and pro-communists who subverted our effort to smash communism and restore democracy in South Vietnam, the latter day peace peacenils are weakening America from within. Do you think the Soviets care about peace? Ask any refugee from Afghanistan. Do you think the Soviets care about freedom? Ask polish labor union leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Witolda. They care only about world domination. The leaders of the so called peace movement are knowingly collaborating with the murderers in the Kremulin to take away YQIUR freedom. Supporters of the so called peace movement are unknowingly doing for the Soviets what the Soviets could never do for themselves. ABC in helping with their $7 million horror movie "The Day After." If you want to preserve your freedom and defend American do not support the freeze—do not be fooled by the horror show you will see on ABC. Our Freedom and the freedom of America is threatened. It is time for patriotic and freedom loving Americans to stand up and be counted. Sign this petition. Get your friends to sign this petition. Mail it to Young Americans for Freedom and we will present it and thousands of others to the President. Support PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!
