Page 8 University Daily Kansan Friday, April 17, 1953 Politico's Proving Ground— More Emphasis on Housing Urged Editor's Note: This is the third of a series of articles by candidates of the two campus political parties for positions on the All Student Council. Today's articles outline the sentiments of the parties on student By DICK VERBRUGGE Pachacamae Candidate for House of Representatives housing. The problem of student housing can be divided into two parts—immediate and future. The first part could be solved by the following plan: The ASC should have a standing housing committee to improve housing. This group should keep reminding the University and the Kansas Legislature of the housing need. The second part could be solved thus: At the present time housing office keeps a list of rooms and investigates a few. Before a room is put on the list, it should be rated by the survey. Scholarship halls should be looked into, and scholarship requirements should be lowered in cases of excessive need. A student unable to attend the University without one of these scholarships is, in my estimation, more deserving than one who has a higher high school average and could attend without a scholarship. They also should be required to submit a report to the Daily Kansan to be published at the end of every school year of the proposed plans of the housing program. Because dormitories cannot be built within a year because plans and money are not available, the only immediate improvements can be made in private and scholarship housing The University should, through its Endowment association, ask for money for dormitories and not school halls—as they are at the present. The University should conduct a professional survey in the summer of all rooms in private homes, and rate them on methods of heating and lighting study and closet space bath facilities, and general appearance and comfort. Dormitories are less of an expense than scholarship halls, because of the amount of rent paid by the student. More students can be housed in dormitories than in residence halls for a certain sum of money. By DAVE MILLER KU should release some of its land so that fraternities and sororites could expand their houses for more students. Housing for married students also is FACTS Candidate for House of Representatives Unorganized students, married students, and dormitory residents at the University are vitally concerned with action taken toward improved University housing facilities. important. In the next five years more married students will be in school because of increased veteran enrollment. Sunflower and Sunny-side no longer are available to students. The University need not hesitate to build permanent housing for families, because if married students do not fill these units, instructors will.

In its spring 1951 platform, FACTS endorsed a plank proposing investigation and accrediting of student living conditions and rental charges. This plea for improved housing should appeal to the pride of the entire University family. Kirkpatrick Sport Shop 715 Mass. The FACTS-controlled ASC established a housing committee in fall 1951. In spring 1952, the newly-elected ASC, with FACTS in a minority, let the committee die. FACTS continued its campaign by appointing John Handrahan to work with the University housing committee through the summer of 1952. This fall, the FACTS housing committee made further investigations of the situation and drew up a 20-page report on the then present housing conditions. This report was used by the new ASC housing committee, appointed after a series of articles on Living conditions had been published in the Daily Kansas. Phone 1018 The ASC then adopted a program which was approved by the board of regents, but which failed to receive a hearing before the State Legislature. Because of this diligent effort on the part of the students, greater knowledge than before is now available, the quantity and quality of housing. This has been the progress of the past. But now it is in the best interests of the students that planning for better housing be continued. With spring elections just around the fact, FACTS again stands 6 Design Students To Display Works Creative work by six members of the department of design was accepted for display in the Eighth National Decorative Arts and Cera- firmly behind the procurement of better housing. Its platform advocates 'the maintenance of "an up-to-date report on student housing" The FACTS housing committee realizes that it hasn't had the information necessary to anticipate the needs for the future, but by knowing where good living quarters are to be found and by planning for improvements in University facilities, FACTS can carry out the wishes of the students.
