Housing shortage still a problem
Students interested in housing in men's residence halls face a 40-name waiting list to reserve rooms, Fred McElhene, associate dean of men, said yesterday.
Some spaces are still available in women's residence halls.
On Friday there were 64 spaces in halls that had not been claimed McEhnie said. By Monday afternoon the number had been reduced to 17.
Even though progress is being made toward resolving KU's tight housing situation, the CDP has received very little attention from those people on the waiting list. We're trying to whittle it down."
McEihenne said his office's most time-consuming task was trying to contact those students who have not yet claimed their rooms.
"ONE OF MY associates made six calls this morning, four to people who could not be reached," he said. "We're going to try to reach them tonight."
"It is a situation where we're trying to find out, one by one, who's going to be here," McEllenbie said. "These people who reserved rooms and don't show up are holding space that someone who doesn't have a place to go could be using."
The people on the waiting list have been commuting, are staying with friends or are
staying at one of two KU fraternities which offered space temporarily to homeless students, McEllenie said. A payment rate was worked out between the fraternities, Lambda Chi Alpha and Triangle, and the KU Housing Advisory Board but payments will be made directly to the fraternities by the students.
This year's shortage of on-campus housing has been compounded by the increasegly short supply of apartments in Lawren. McEhline said. All that are left
are luxury apartments that students can't afford.
"THIS YEAR we've encountered a rather cavalier attitude on the part of some students," he said. "Some students arrive right on time, " he pointed to a place to live right off the bat.
Ann Eversole, assistant dean of women,
said Monday that a few spaces were
occupied by people with disabilities
even though last year the women felt KU's
housing pit the most.
TAMPA, Kan. (AP) - Two grade school children returning home from the first day of school Monday afternoon discovered the bodies of their parents inside the faintly's home about four: miles north of Tampa.
Children discover bodies
The Marion County sheriff's office and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation are investigating the incident as an apparent double homicide.
Sheriff June Just declined to release the identities of the victims or other information related to the case, pending an autopsy and further investigation.
Two friends of the family who live in Herington, 17 miles from the scene, reportedly received a call from one of the officers. They were helped for help. They contacted authorities.
A younger child, believed to be about two years old, reportedly was found unharmed in an upstairs bedroom of the home by the two older children.
The family was said to be renting the house and had moved in about one month ago. The nearest residence in the rural area of Bali, 150 km away, is about three-quarters of a mile away.
Young, Owen, Vorster end talks
PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Andrew Young, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and David Owen, the British foreign secretary, nearly six hours of talks with South Africa's prime minister with no compromise on any indication that he would for Rhodesia's future fared better with white leaders than it had with black Africans.
Owen and young came here to brief South African Prime Minister John Vorster on the British-American plan for peaceful transition to majority rule in Rhodesia.
Vaster's backing is considered essential to any Rhodesian settlement because of the economic leverage South Africa has as its landlocked neighbor's only trading partner.
The two leave today for another round of talks in Dar es Salaam with President Julian Nyerever of Tanzania. They are due to meet on Thursday, and the day after a general election in which Prime Minister Ian Smith's white electorate is expected to return him with a mandate to seek an internal settlement with electoral blocs if the current initial fails.
South African Foreign Minister R. F. Botha, with Vorster throughout the talks, said South Africa was not asked to give an answer on the proposals and did not give
The talks are known to have centered on the key question of who will control and comprise Riodesia's defense forces during the conflict, and that is why the black and the national Patriotic Front have

Diplomatic sources said a compromise envisioned in the British-American plan would have both guerrillas and regulars confined to quarters while a British-appointed administrator backed by U.N. forces prepare for one man-election votes.
The talks in Pretoria marked the first face-to-face meeting between Vorster and Young. The black American envoy's outspoken criticism of South Africa's race policies has made regular headlines in this country for the past year.
Observers here said it was important to leave some Rhodesian army units intact to reassure Rhodesia's 270,000 whites as they deliver power to the 64 million inhabitants. They were also effectively said they would not allow a takeover of Rhodesia by the Soviet-backed Patriotic Front.

1107 Massachusetts
You also met for an hour alone with interior Minister Connie P. Milder. No problem. And we had a lot of fun.
A search is to begin today for a replacement for Katie Rhoads, who resigned Sunday from her office as Student Senate secretary.
Rhômes and Leben denied that the resignation of a rumored per- member in the Senate.
Rhoads, who also was the StudEx
secretary, had personal reasons for
the $90-million deal.
Steve Leben, student body president, said Monday that applications and job descriptions for the position could be picked up in the Senate's offices in the Kansas Union. Deadline for submitting the applications is Thursday, Sept. 8.
Leben said the replacement would be announced by Sept. 14.
The duties of the secretary include managing the Student Senate office and keeping and distributing the meeting minutes and Senate Record.
The two were in opposing coalitions in last spring's student body elections and had opposed each other over a proposed change in the University's registration and
recognition procedure for campus organizations seeking Senate funds.
Leben said, "Her resignation was given to me or personal reasons, and I'd rather not know."
Rhoads said she would remain a member of the Senate's Finance and Auditing Committee.
