University Daily Kansan. March 4. 1983 Page 7 Regents want housing-rate proposals earlier By WARREN BRIDGES Staff Reporter Staff Reporter University officials said that deciding on student housing rates for 1984-85 six months earlier than usual would be unpredictable, because of the unpredictable economy. The Board of Regents decided last November to set the deadline for housing rates earlier than they had been. "I don't know anyone who has a crystal ball," said Fred McElhene, director of residential programs. "It's easy to predict that far in the future." CONTRACT PROPOSALS are required from the All Scholarship Hall Council, the Association of University Residence Halls, the Stouffer Neighbourhood and the KU housing department by 1 instead of the following September. MeElhennie said the contract committees of the different groups seemed to be in agreement. Rick Zaporowski, Omaha, Neb. freshman and chairman of the Association of University Residence Hall's contracts committee, said the new policy limited the effectiveness of the proposal process. "The proposals that will be submitted on April 1 may be more vague than before, and as a result, the rates may be higher than they should be," he said. The deadline has come up so quickly that has really limited our preparation." ZAPOHOWSKI SAID his committee would have a proposal ready by the decision-makers. "We'll come up with something," he said. Karl Gibson, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore and co-chairman of the All Scholarship Hall Council's housing and contracts committee, said his committee had already submitted its contract proposal for the 1984-85 school year and had it approved by the buising department. He said that although his committee would meet the April 1 deadline, the old proposal hadn't been adopted. "I like the old way better," he said. "With the new policy, the committees are guessing a lot on what the economy will be like more than a year in the future. It's really a blind stab in the dark." BRIAN LIEBL, Clovis, Calif., senior and chairman of the Stouffer Neighborhood Association's contract good start on working on its contract. "We are in the process of trying to figure out exactly what we want and need," he said. "The deadline was pushed up so we just started earlier." Liebel said he thought few students would be able to help determine contract proposals because many left during the summer. "A lot of things can happen during the summer," Liebel said, "and if something major would happen that needed to be corrected, there would not be much time after people return in September." DAVID AMBLER, vice chancellor for student affairs, also thinks the new policy could hamper participation in the contract process, he said. He said, however, that Stouffer would not be greatly affected by the summer break because many of the residents stay year-round. "We'd like to maintain high student participation in the process," he said. "But we always seem to lose some students during the summer break." Tom Rawson, planning and budget director for the Regents, said the committees would submit their propositions to the committee, the board, or the board chair, which would discuss the proposals during April and have a preliminary vote in May. The proposal would then be subject to student and faculty scrutiny during the semester. In September, the board will vote on the proposals and submit them to Amber, Rawson said. He said the proposals should be submitted to the Regents by October and the Regents would vote in November. CARYL SMITH, dean of student life, said the policy was a good one, but that it would take some time before the effects could be measured. "There are probably going to be some problems this first year," she said. "It's kind of difficult to suddenly change everything." Rawson said the original proposal was designed to ease the work load of the Regents' Fiscal Affairs Committee. He said that in the past, any of the Regents schools could submit proposals at any time during the year.

Some desk jobs are more exciting than others. As a Navy pilot or flight officer, your desk can be a sophisticated combination of supersonic jet aircraft and advanced electronic equipment.

In return, Navy aviation demands something of you as an officer: Leadership. Your path to leadership starts with officer training that's among the most demanding in the military. It's intensive leadership and professional schooling combined with rigorous Navy flight training. And it's all geared to prepare you and other college graduates for the unique challenge of Navy aviation. The program is tough but rewarding. One important reward for Navy officers is decision- making authority. In the air, and on the ground, you have management responsibility from the beginning.

The salary is exciting, too. Right away, you'll earn about $18,300 a year. That's better than the average corporation will pay you just out of college. And with regular Navy promotions and other pay increases, your annual salary will soar to $31,100 after four years. That's on top of a full package of benefits and privileges. Before you settle down to an earth take down to an airborne desk job, reach for the sky. Reach for the coupon. Find out what it takes to be part of the Naval Aviation Team.
