AURH postpones vote on fee hike
Final action was deferred until next week on a proposed fee increase to cover about $35,000 of additional residence hall custodial services at an Association of University Residence Hills (AURH) Committee meeting last night.
The proposal, submitted to the contract coordinating committee by J. J. Wilson, director of housing, calls for single room occupancy in a greater burden of housekeeping costs.
If AURH improves the proposal, it will mean a $84.50 increase in single room rates for custodial services. Wilson said the insurer would pay for staff salaries and basic supplies.
Jess Paul, AURH president, said he questioned whether the need was increased.
Teri Reading, committee chairman, said Wilson had adequately justified the increase
and it was a now a question of determining where the extra money would come from.
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 would be increased the cost of custodial services.
Also included in Wilson's proposal was an increase of $20.50 for other expenses. Total fees this year are $1,250 a student for double room and $1,500 for single occupancy rooms.
board rate increase for all residents that would make them share the burden equally
Another proposal involved an across the
capacity of the committee will vote next Tuesday on whether to approve the increase and, if it is approved, how the increase will be financed.
KU bike race highlights on TV

A racial discrimination complaint has been filed with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare against the university of the University of Tennessee. University general counsel, said yesterday.
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.
Bias suit brought against KU
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.
Davis said she applied "about three-and-a-half months late and had no particular reason" to be in the job.
"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."
Lromax 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.
Davis said the student was pursuing the matter through the office of minority affairs.
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.
Devis 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 participate in the meeting.
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 review.
