New Cafe Opens Where Chalk Was
A restaurant, the New Haven,
will officially open either
Thursday or Friday this week in
the same building that housed the
Rock Chalk chaf. The Rock Chak
closed Saturday, March 13, 1971.
The decision to open the cafe was made some time ago, but the New Haven manager John Pitt, who is a regular at the building until a month ago.
Pitt graduated from Lawrence after graduation, returned to law a half ago and has been a barbarian since. This is his first time as a lawyer.
The New Haven will try to cater to students in general and not to any particular clique or group, according to Pitt.
"I realize that it is pretty hard to open a business of this type near a large college campus with staff that are certain people," Pitt said Monday.
"However, I will not try to keep any particular group from patronizing the New Haven."
It is evident that Pit has made some changes. Gone are the beer signs that once adorned the interior of the Rock Chalk.
Pitt has not applied for a cereal malt beverage license but this does not mean the New Haven will not have beer in the future.
"I HAVE TO WAIT and see what happens, how things shape up." Pitt said. "If I feel like I can eat the volume. I may take on beer."
When asked if he had been given any trouble about the news, he said from nearby streets and have met with no opposition to our met with no opposition to our
Fitt said he had told some of the nearby residents his intentions. New Flaven to be open seven days, a week from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Tenants to Be Organized
Peter George, president of the Unorganized Housing Association (UHA), tackles offences related to the view that students are being exploited by landlords. He said he believed the crux of the problem could be solved if 8,000 students living in unauthorized houses could be organized.
The UHA has three main goals. The first is to get organized and to get the off-campus students to use the power of their mass. The second is to identify plants of students and landlords. Each complaint will be investigated in order to make an evaluation of the problem. The third goal is to establish a non-profit board based would be composed of students, landlords and possibly a city councilman.
IFC Plans Decorations Competition
Any group "interested in adding something to the homecoming weekend" is eligible for competition in a decoration contest to be sponsored by the Interfaith Brueckner, president of the IFC, said Sunday.
"We have not the theme other than that of the Alumni association's Welcome Blue Country." Basically the contest is open to a group of eight teams.
Two areas of competition. three-dimensional and two-dimensional, will be open to participants.
The three-dimensional category will include the traditional disciplines and the international competition will include signs, lights or sound effects, and is appropriate for groups with low budgets and few hours.
Bodecker said the interest in women with children or 10 fraternities, some sororities, and hopefully a few living groups possibly re-energize.
George is a one-man crew. He said he could use some help. He needs a copy of every lease being filed with the office and from the individual houses. The leases will be used to check the legality of process inventory records and ensure protection of tenants. He then plans to record the feedback from students. The Housing Office will use the recordings as part of his job.
Although no cash prizes will be awarded, the IFC plans to receive funds for winners in events and additions to the usual first, second and third places, a special award will go to a group whose idea was not effective enough to win, but is intended to help and effort in producing the entry.
The UHA has been a senate committee for three years. During that model a lease officer must landlords don't follow it, nor are they bound to. George said. An unofficial member of one of the boards said the problem was analyzed and dismissed because the committee believed problems between the tenant were and are irresolvable.
George, believes the keynote is optimism. He pointed out several problems in his speech, such as the freeze and said he had started legal action against one complex. He said as far as he knew this was the first complaint against him.
Most of the complaints relate to students not receiving deposit refunds or bad maintenance. One complex charges each tenant a monthly rate for garbage pick-up. In many cases, the being charged a monthly rate for electricity for the whole building including laundry rooms and hallways, regardless of how much money has been used in each apartment.
DAVE BROYLES, a graduate student in religion and a landlord, insisted that there is another student much consider. He said unmarried college students as a group are more likely to own or be paid for three or hundred dollars worth of damage. Also, the high turnover rate among tenants is exaggerated, he said, because projects are now planned for an absolute minimum of 90 per cent occupancy, he said. Ninety-five percent occupancy rate is difficult to maintain in Lawrence even with a tiniest occupancy rate
Broyes said he viewed the deposit refund as probably the right action. He attributed the problem to changes in ownership, poor management and the fact that banks can't afford to refund deposits.
