JRP water problem cool to men
Although hot water has been restored to 12 showers at Joseph R. Pearson residence hall, 36 showers will remain frigid until later this week, Dean Milroy, maintenance manager for the housing department, said yesterday.
JRP has been without full hot water service since Jan. 18 because of inoperable equipment.
Milroy said that replacement parts are still on order from a company in Skokie, Ill. He said that the parts ordered from Kansas City last week had arrived, but that the parts from Skokie were needed to complete the repair.
Although many showers have only cold water, residents of 3HP were not compliant.

according to Bob Nugent, assistant resident director at JRP.
Nugent said yesterday that 12 showers had been working since last week.
"They've got as many working as possible," he said. "Hot water should be running from all showers by the end of the week."
Nugent said that the mood of the residents and mad quieted considerably from last week, when they heard a loud gunfire.
Nugent said Friday that some residents had also considered a protest march to Strong Hall, but canceled the march after some hot water was restored.

Nugent, who has lived at JRP since 1973, said that there had been occasional hot water problems at the residence hall for as long as he lived there.

Dick is Dick Royse, a Wichita senior in social welfare who is getting practical experience working at the Capper Foundation.
"You have to understand," he said, "that this is the first time these guys have been on their own. They live in an institution where most things are done for them. They don't often get the opportunity to think and do for themselves."
The young men performed such tasks as cooking, washing dishes, vacuuming floors, making up sleeping bags and shopping, putting out parties and went to a movie and a restaurant.
IN TALKING to Hanson, Buell and Hinrich a few hours before they were to return to Topeka, it was obvious that they had thoroughly enjoyed doing for themselves and were not ready for institutional life again.
"I'd much rather do things on my own. It makes me feel better." Hanson said. "I'm dying to get out on my own. "The other two agreed.
"Friday night, I made hamburgers," he said. "At first it was scary. I had never done it before. I didn't know when they were done. I couldn't get cans open."
Hanson did most of the cooking.

The apartment was also the scene of a party Fridaynight.

Hirich said, "Some people can't accept that we're equals. We're no different. We have the same lifestyles. We just have disabilities."

HANSON SAID, "People get scared when they see a handicapped person. They think he's going to fall out of his chair or something."
On Sunday, Hanson, Buell and Hinrich spent most of the day cleaning Kitch's apartment. They promised to leave it in better condition than they had found it.
