Despite past problems, Naismith thrives
By WARREN BRIDGES Staff Reporter
Despite a 1981 fire and a bomb explosion the same year, Naismith Hall is now enjoying success and is looking forward to an even brighter future, the general manager of the hall said yesterday.
David May, who has been general manager of Naismith since last February, said the privately-owned hall at 1800 Naismith Drive had been occupied consistently over the pant couple of rooms and predicted the hall would be full this fall.
May said advantages such as sum
mer improvements and changes in the Naismith's cost, which would be more competitive compared to University, would attract more residents to Naismith.
THOUGH MAY would not comment on how or whether rates would be adjusted, he said the important thing in attracting possible residents was the degree of the rates' competitiveness.
Last semester, the hall gave $106 to any resident who brought in a new computer.
"The finder's fee was pretty productive," May said. "I believe five to 10 people collected the money."
He said Naismith offered several different payment options to residents
A single room now costs $1,399 per semester, including 19 weekly meals per semester, compared with last year's cost of $1,276.
this year to help the residents ease the raising cost of living.
May said an important aid in recruiting new residents was the hall's summer "campers."
He said each summer the hall accommodated a number of different groups who came to Lawrence to participate in camps or other activities.
SEVERAL OF the groups who have resided in Naiimth during their stay in the area include the Jayhawk Basketball Camp, the Big Brother Program
Brad Tennant, the hall's resident director, said Naismith's costs remained relatively constant with the economy.
and the State Association of Trial Advocates, May said.
"Naskith basically sells itself," he said. "The state dorms bad problems filling up this year. All the residents like it here. By choice, they feel it's the best."
Mark Brown, assistant resident director for the hall, said residents on each floor were more like family than resident hall neighbors.
"We like to feel we are just as clean and lush as a Hololdome," Brown said.
Former judge called qualified to fill state corrections post
By United Press International
TOPEKA — Former Shawne County Judge Michael Barbara meets the qualifications required by law for the job of state corrections secretary, Attorney General Robert Stephan determined yesterday.
Gov. John Carlin, who last week appointed Barbara to replace former Corrections Secretary Patrick McManus, had asked Stephen to write an essay in his life. In years past Washburn University professor met the state's qualifications.
SEVERAL LEGISLATORS had questioned Barbara's qualifications for the job because state law requires "at least five years experience as an attorney" in the district of correction" of federal or state prisons or five years in the field of corrections.
Carlin said he did not expect Barbara to have trouble meeting the qualifications but he requested the attorney general's opinion to pave the way for Senate confirmation hearings on the appointment.
SEN. FRANCIS Gordon, R-
Hiawatha, said hearings should begin
next week.

DON'T PARK YOUR BRAINS
There are lots of hard questions in this world—
Why don't justice and truth always prevail?
Where is real peace?
Why do bad things happen to good people?
(A Jewish rabbi used this title for a good book)
How come jobs are hard to find after getting an education?
Is there a God?
Don't park your brains—not even in church!
Questions are the business of research, universities—and the CHURCH.
Don't park your ideas. Not how to answer questions.
Any question is acceptable (God knows all thoughts).
Answers are not always easily available and sometimes the answer is not what we expect.
We are all on a quest with our questions.
