Student-faculty group to handle complaints
Steps will be taken to distribute the Lawrence Housing Code and complaint forms to students living off campus, William M. Balfour, dean of Student Affairs, said yesterday.
Balfour also announced plans to establish a student-faculty committee to handle off-campus housing complaints. The complaints are presently handled by the off-campus housing office, 223 Strong Hall.
The decision to establish the committee and to take steps to acquaint off-campus students with housing health and safety regulations came in a meeting between five students and Emily Taylor, dean of Women, Donald K. Alderson, dean of Men, J. J. Wilson, director of housing and Balfour.
The group discussed the possibility of having housing regulations mailed with complaint forms to students living off campus.
Balfour said they decided to have the regulations delivered by hand to areas of dense student population off campus due to the expense of mailing the information to an estimated 7,000 students.
The University doesn't mail anything besides fee statements to all students, he said.
Frank Hummer, Topeka senior, had drafted a tentative letter to be enclosed with the forms explaining the University's position in providing the information.
The group decided to have Hummer re-draft the letter to emphasize the fact that the University is not attempting to approve off-campus housing.
Balfour emphasized that students would be playing an integral part in the distribution of the materials and in handling the response from the issuance.
"Frequently students have better rapport with other students," Balfour said, explaining his support of having students handle complaints.
Apollo 7 in count for liftoff Friday
CAPE KENNEDY (UPI)—One of America's smoothest countdowns ticked yesterday toward the Friday launch of the threeman Apollo 7 while a second space ship was moved to another pad for a possible December flight to the moon.
The unprecedented simultaneous operations of Apollo 7 and Apollo 8 signified the speed-up in the nation's $25 billion drive to get to the moon ahead of Russia.
If everything continues on schedule, the final part of the countdown will begin this afternoon for the 11 a.m. EDT blastoff Friday of Apollo 7 astronauts Walter Schirra, Donn Eisele and Walter Cunningham.
They have mapped out an 11-day, 163-orbit voyage around earth.
