Stouffer neighborhood group angry about new rent increase
By WARREN BRIDGES
Staff Reporter
Next year's $13 monthly rate increase for residents of Stouffer Place is unjustified, officials of the Stouffer Neighborhood Association said this weekend.
Fabrizio Balcazar, Colombia graduate student and president of the association, said he did not think the full increase was needed because the cost of living and inflation had actually decreased
The KU housing department never gave him an adequate explanation of how the extra funds would be spent, he said.
"They say they need money, but we don't understand why." Balzer zar said.
"ITS VERY difficult to get rational reasons," Balcazar said. "I believe the department first receives the money and then they wrap it up. And it works that way."
The $13 increase was passed last November, despite an SNA proposal to cut taxes.
Layne Pierce, treasurer of the association, also said that the increase was too high and that not enough consideration was given to the matter.
"In our hearts, we would have liked to have no said to any increase, but we
felt a 7 percent increase would have been more fair." Pierce said.
"We're afraid these annual rate increases are becoming a routine matter. We've accepted it this year, but we hope to have more influence when negotiations for the 1984-85 year begin."
IN ADDITION to the $13 increase, each tenant will also pay 30 cents a month to the SNA.
Pierce said the additional 30 cents was necessary because financing from the Student Senate was no longer available.
Residents now pay 50 cents a month to the association to pay for social events, office supplies, a newsletter, office services for the residents, Pierce said.
Balaezar said the rate increase was only one of a list of nine complaints listed by Stouffer residents in a pall taken by the SNA in the summer of
Balcazar said that few, if any, of those complaints had been remedied
The poll indicated that the lack of air conditioning was the zimmer one of the main reasons.
PERICE SAID that a proposal by the housing department, under which each resident would rent an air conditioner and had been unacceptable to residents.
The air conditioning issue is an
example of how frustrating the problems are that we deal with," Pierce said. "Since the unacceptable proposal, the housing department has yet to offer another proposal."
J. J. Wilson, director of housing, said he would be more than willing to negotiate a settlement on the air conditioning issue.
"If the residents want an air conditioning project, I'm not adverse to that." Wilson said. "But it's going to be have paid by the tenants."
Other complaints from the poll include lack of adequate storage space, outdoor lighting, and playground equipment. Storage facilities also receive additional building,
PIRCE SAID that although SNA was definitely planning to install additional lighting, the other items were fitted only when funds were available.
Jin-Sung Kim, Korea graduate student and a resident of Stouffor Place, said he knew of no improvements made during the year and a half he had lived
"There is definitely a problem," Kim said. "It took them eight months to replace my mattress."
On campus
Wilson said that though several of the improvements mentioned in the poll had been considered, efforts to implement them had to be initiated by the SNA.

'Fists' beat 'Ribs' in KU quiz bowl
By JENNIFER FINE Staff Reporter
A week of intellectual dueling came to an end Friday night with the finals of the KU College Bowl in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Thirty-five teams participated in the event sponsored by Student Union Activities and Lambda Sigma sophomore honor society.

Members of the quiz bowl team, Fists of Fury, listen to a question during the final match of the KU College Bowl Friday at the Kansas Union. Fists won a narrow victory over their opponents, the Arthur Bryant Memorial Ribs. Left to right are Paula Bodine, Topeka sophomore; Jackie Aaron, Wichita law student; Randy Pankratz, Wichita law student; and Ann Mathews, Los Alamos, N.M., sophomore.
In a close match, a team named Fists of Fury beat its opponent, Arthur Loyant Memorial Bars, as they secured victory. Four of previous matches cheered them on.
"We'd won all our earlier matches pretty easily," said Randy Pankratz, captain of the Plats of Pury. "These were the best they could. How tough we definitely met our match."
THE FISTS OF FURY team consisted of Pankratz, a law student from Wichita, Jackie Aaron, also a Wichita law student, Ann Mathews, Los Alamos, N.M., sophomore majoring in mathematics, and Paula Bodine, Topke sophomore majoring in petroleum engineering.
In the final match, the Arthur Bryant team correctly answered a toss-up question as the buzzer signaling the end of the match sounded. Bryant then responded with the Fists of Fury ahead. If the Memorial Ribs had correctly answered the
Pankratz said the team had not done anything special to prepare for the contest. The worst part, he said, was that they were platform in front of several people.
In quiz bowl play, a toss-up question worth 10 points is asked for either team to answer. If a team correctly answers the toss-up question, they have a chance to answer a bonus question worth 20 to 30 points.
bonus question, they would have won the contest.
The deciding bonus question, worth 25 points, asked what Roman statesman was known for his special generosity to writers and was the patron of letters or the arts. Memorial Ribs member Mike Gebert answered Marcus Aurelius, but the correct answer was Maceenas.
JOHN AUNINS, captain of the Arthur Bryant team, said they were obviously hoping for an easy bonus question.
Both teams had won four matches to reach the final round. All matches lasted 16 minutes, except the final 32-minute match.
"We just kind of had an 'Oh well, we gave it our best shot'" feeling, he said.
The winning team received a trophy and the chance to represent the University in the regional competition Feb. 11-13 in Warrensburg, Mo.
and Mike Perkins, Overland Park senior in engineering.
The Arthur Bryant team was composed of Aums, Wichita senior in engineering. Gebert, Wichita senior in engineering, Senior in engineering, donfield, N.J. in engineering.
THE UNIVERSITY, regional and national quiz bowls are sponsored by the Association of College Unions.
Questions in the quiz bowl covered such topics as the sciences, sports, politics, literature, philosophy and entertainment.
Moderators of the final match were Clark Bricker, professor of chemistry, and Del Shankel, professor of biochemistry and microbiology.
