about 600 to 800 more. She said surveys were available for students in the consumer affairs office.
Mary Bey Craig, Services Committee chairman, said her committee members might distribute surveys in front of the Kansas Union during the next few weeks.
"We may try to get more responses in the next week or two," she said. "We'd like to have the whole thing done and tabulated by the first of October."
Kroeger said some information from the surveys would be incorporated into a new rental housing handbook that will come out in January. Other information will be available in the consumer affairs office, she said.

More subjective information such as the noise level of a complex, repair problems, insect or rodent problems and landlord complaints can be available through the office, she said.
