By PHILIP GARCIA
Staff Reporter
Ibrahim Edalaty has a bill totaling more than $1,300 for three months rent for an apartment in New York.
According to the management of Jayhawk Towers, 1603 W. 15th St., Edalay, Iranian freshman, signed a lease for an apartment until May 19, 1979. He says
Eataly filed a formal complaint against
Jaywahke and the Lawrence
Affairs Association.
John Langstrom, legal counselor for Lawrence Property Management, which manages Jayhawk Towers, said that the attorney told them that Edalaty sipped were stated clearly.
Garnett Wrigley, director of the association, said she referred the complaint yesterday to the Kansas attorney general's office.
In his complaint, Edalaty stated that the difference between an "Application for Rental Agreement" and the "Jayhawk Towers Rental Agreement," both of which
"IT WAS not made clear to me, when signing the application for rental agreement for summer and fall, the difference between a rental agreement and a lease (Jayawker Towers Rental Agreement)." Edalaty stated in his complaint.
are legally binding, were not fully explained.
Wrigley said the attorney general's office would be asked to confirm the legality of its request.
"To insure that I was going to stay, I was told I better sign rent agreements," he said.
Edalaty said he had first moved into Jawahar Towers in January.
Two applications for rental agreement were signed on May 26 by Edalay, one for the summer and the second for the fall and next spring.
He said he was later called in to sign the hawker Tower Rental agreement for the same property.
"FIRST, I signed two rental agreements, and then about two days later they asked me to complete the lease."
Edualty he then sent him a letter to the management on Aug. 5 stating that he would be transferred to the University.
The summer lease ran until Aug. 19.
On Aug. 7 the management sent a letter to Eldalay, who was then in California, informing him that he would be liable for the apartment before Aug. 10.
On Aug. 15, a second letter was sent saying that if he had not moved out of Jayhawai Towers by Aug. 19, he would be liable for rent until Mav 1797.
"I got back from California on Aug. 22, so there was no way I could have moved out by the 19th." Edalay said. "This could wreck my life. Or for my future. The matter is getting serious."
BARBARE FENDLEY, Jayhawker
Towers manager, said the agreements were
"We strongly suggest that students read the agreement before they sign and that they be aware of their responsibilities," he said, "and sure that contract was explained to him."
Med Center building's faults listed
From Staff and Wire Reports
TOPEKA-K A Kansas City, Kan., lawyer told a legislative committee yesterday that the University of Kansas Medical Center's basic sciences buildings might be struc-
Orr-Major, the basic sciences building, has been involved in a series of controversies about construction and design, including claims that the construction companies and the state.
James Eisenbranth, a lawyer specially hired to study deficiencies in Med Center buildings, gave the committee a list of problems and proposed the construction of problems in Med Center construction.
During the last session, the Legislature appropriated money to hire a special lawyer in connection with the investigation.
deficiencies. The attorney general's office hired Eisenbrancher in July.
EISENBRANTH SAID the majority of his report to the Special Committee on State Building Construction came from a state architect's study.
He told the committee that the floors sloped excessively, indicating that they might not have been poured to the proper thickness.
He said fire safety violations also had been discovered. The bottoms of the fire doors had been saaved off, leaving a gap at the bottom, he said.
Most of the doors will have to be replaced, he said.
He also reported that elevators used to evacuate the building in a fire malfunction were also disabled.
Elsenbranch said he had hired a career lawyer to defend deficiencies. He said the legislative bill that appropriated the money for his job also hit him the power to hire whomever he wanted.
THE CONSULTING firm is the same one that helped the state of Louisiana recover $4.2 million in damages from contractors constructed the New Orleans superstructure.
"This whole thing has been an ongoing process," he said. "There are constant studies made of the building all the time. We are always finding new things to report."
James Lowman, dean of the School of Medicine, said he had not heard of the report, but he was aware that such action had been occurring.
Busing for handicapped delayed Harper, administrator offer rides

Handicapped students needing a ride to class during the last weeks of this semester can depend on the student body president and a KU administrator to get them there.
Mike Harper, student body president, and Bob Turvey, assistant director of the student assistance center, have volunteered to chauffeur handicapped students, on request, because a transportation service provided for that purpose is not ready for use.
Harper said a University van equipped to accommodate handicapped people would be
Operation of the service, which was scheduled to begin today, has been postponed until next semester because it has not been diversified in university and bus drivers have not been hired.
The Student Senate Wednesday allocated $2,888 for gasoline, drivers' wages and a two-way radio, he said. The responsibility for the bus system had been授秩 at 13 cents a mile, has not been determined. Harper said he hoped the Kansas Board of Regents would make up the difference.
Harper said members of the newly-
appointed transportation board might drive the van if necessary.
"I doubt if the demand will be that high, though," he said.
Initiation of the service will bring the University into compliance with the transportation section of a Rehabilitation Act passed by Congress in 1973.
"We decided to provide transportation-in crisis situations for people who can't use a car," Ms. Patterson said, the end of finals), "Turvey said, 'Students who need a ride can call the student."
When ready for use, Turvey said, the service will include a regular route planned around the schedules of the students who use the service.
Anytime the van is not in use, Turvey said, students can call and arrange for raid to places, such as the library, that might not be on the regular route.
Turvey said that he was pleased the service had been initiated and that he thought the University would give final approval.
"I think this is a major step, not only for handicapped people who are here. It also means that students who could not have come to KU now can include it among their

choices because they have a way to get around."
Turvey said he thought about a dozen students would use the service, but expected that a lot of them would not.
"There probably will be a small ridership in the beginning, but I expect it to grow," he said. "It can't really grow too much though—the van only holds 11."

Lingstrum said, "When the application is signed and accepted, that a lease. Putting it in the record will be appreciated." Jayhawker Towers management can incorporate the rule of occupancy along with
"WHEN THE application is signed, that binds the tenant to the apartment and binds the landlord."
Both the Application for Rental Agreement and the Jayhawker Towers Rental Agreement state. "... everything in the property, which property is hereby leased to the lessee (applicant) for the term of the conditions which are set forth below."
However, Lynn Chance of Lawrence Property Management, said earlier, "The application is binding to the extent that you hold the unit for the tenant. If the applicant's application is accepted and he does not move, then the applicant is not obligated to move."
If the application for agreement is not accepted after a credit check, the security deposit paid with the application is refunded, Lungstrum said.
