AURH wants larger dorm refunds
The Association of University Residence Halls (AURH) is pushing for larger refunds for students moving out of a hall before the end of a semester.
"The refund is extremely small now," said Butch Lockard, chairman of AURH. "We are proposing to make the refund proportionate to the number of days spent in the hall."
The new AURH committee is working directly with the housing office and the offices of the dean of men and women, he said, in an attempt to re-evaluate such policies as the contract refunds.
The group meets once a week with J. J. Wilson, director of housing; Mrs. Donna Shavlik, assistant dean of women, and Fred McElhenie, assistant dean of men.
The present rate scale on contract refunds is determined by the date the contract is cancelled. If a student canceled his contract Sept. 20, for example, only $140 of the original $400 would be refused. If the contract is cancelled Nov. 1, $77 would be refunded, and by Dec. 15, only $17 would be refunded.
This is only one of several programs AURH is working on this year. AURH is a national organization. At KU, it is composed of representatives from all KU residence halls and scholarship halls.
Earlier this year, the AURH housing committee began a study of the attitudes of students living in co-ed living groups.
Questionaires were compiled and given to a random selection of students in McCollum, Ellsworth and Oliver Halls, Lockard
said. The results of the questionaire are now being tabulated.
"Second semester another questionnaire will be given to the same students," he said. "The two surveys will then be compared to see if co-ed living changes student attitudes about residence hall life."

The unique holiday tribute is actually a collection of almost 100,000 individual greetings collected by the Hayward Daily Review newspaper and transferred to a long ribbon of newsprint.
The "Miles of Messages to Vietnam" project contained letters from every state and overseas. Also included were greetings from Vice President-elect Spiro T. Agnew and entertainers Bob Hope, Red Skelton and Janet Leigh.
