The proposal, submitted to the contract coordinating committee by J. J. Wilson, director of housing, calls for single room housing, a greater burden of housekeeping costs.
If AURH approves the proposal, it will mean a $45.00 increase in single room rates for custodial services. Wilson said the insurer should pay for start salaries and basic supplies.
Jess Paul, AURH president, said he questioned the increase was needed
Teri Reading, committee chairman, said Wilson had adequately justified the increase
THE COMMITTEE discussed several ways to finance the increase. One way was to limit the number of single occupancy rooms in hopes that the extra revenue received from more double occupancy rooms will be increased the cost of custodial services.

KU bike race highlights on TV
The Chancellor's Cup race ended in a second-year win for Lou Houston, associate professor of biochemistry.
KTWU, Topeka channel 11, will show highlights at 9 a.m. Sunday of the final race in the seventh annual University of Kansas meet and kickoff of the NCAA basketball, which was held on campus last Sunday.
The 50-mile race, won by Bob Cotthe of the St. Louis Gateway Cycling Club, attracted more than 10,000 spectators.
Several members of the Ml. Oread Bicycle Club of Lawrence participated in the race.
Davis said he had received the complaint this week and the complaint was based on the law school's refusal to allow a black woman to enroll late.
A racial discrimination complaint has been filed with the Department of Health, Education and welfare against the University of Kansas and the University general counsel, said yesterday.
Davis said she applied "about three-and-a-half months later and had no particular problem."
The student, Margaret Lomax, is a recent graduate of Antioch College, Yellow Springs.
"More important, she had no transcript of her undergraduate work," he said.
Rias suit brought against KU
"At the time she applied there were quite a number of applicants already on a waiting list, and they were told that they would be admitted in order as they were ranked. The list included minority and nonminority students."
Lomax said last night that law school officials had told her early in August that if she turned in her application, it would be considered even though it was late.
Clarence Dillingham, associate director of Affirmative Action, said he had no personal knowledge of the case but said it was being investigated and was confidential.
Davis said the student was pursuing the matter through the office of minority affidavit.
Davis said to his knowledge this was the first discrimination complaint filed against him.
Restrictions lifted on intramurals
The University Recreation Advisory Board last night temporarily suspended its restrictions on intramural participation of professional and former collegiate athletes.
Past policy stated former letter athletes and professionals were ineligible for any intramural sports in which they had played in college or professionally.
Suspension of the restrictions followed a proposal by a group of former University
lettermen who requested the policy be changed to allow them to receive letters, received letters.
During the suspension, former professional athletes also will be allowed to participate in any intramural sports at the University.
Suspension of the policy restrictions will last at least until the advisory board reviews.
