Residence halls to stay open Thanksgiving
Staff Reporter
By LORI LINENBERGER
For many students at the University of Kansas, vacations and holidays generally occur in summer.
But for some KU students, going home during the holidays is either an impulse or a challenge.
In the past, the students who lived in residence halls had an added problem—that of moving their belongings to one of the few rooms that remained open during the holiday.
For students living in one of the halls kept open during the vacation, a fee of $5 a night.
was charged for the services required to maintain the hall.
THIS YEAR, however, KU will offer a new service to residence hall dwellers.
J. J. Wilson, KU housing director, said all KU residence walls would remain open during the Thanksgiving and spring break holidays at no extra cost to the student.
"It must be understood that this is only a trial service and that many changes could be made if we decide to do it again next year," Wilson said recently.
He said the decision to keep the halls open was a result of a meeting last semester.
among himself, Don Alderson, former dean of men, Clark Coan, dean of foreign students, and Larry Britton, president of the Association of University Residence Halls
The funds to keep residence halls open this year came from the housing fee charged to residence hall members. The housing rates increased this year, but Wilson said the increase was for the sole purpose of operating the halls during the holidays.
"I THOUGHT that we should go ahead and try to finance the project using the funds we received through student housing fees," he said.
If the program is to be continued, Wilson said, the funds will be channeled through a fundraising committee.
- The University will provide for the program using funds of its own.
- All students living in residence halls will pay about an extra $10 when they renew their contracts. This will be used only if it is appropriate for the number of students living in residence halls.
- All foreign students will pay an add-on fee beneath the Office of Foreign Affairs.
- Only those students taking advantage of the service will be required to pay a fee, if applicable.
Douglas County to vote on liquor
By BILL HIGGINS Staff Reporter

Douglas County restaurants inched closer yesterday to having the option of selling items online.
Dorothy Baldwin, county election clerk, said yesterday that the question to allow liquor-by-the-drunk in local restaurants would be a special election ballot in the Nov. 7 election.
The county clerk's office early yesterday
morning finished totaling signatures on the lique-in-restaurants petition that had been submitted to the board.
Baldwin, who oversaw the verification of the liquor petition, said 1,636 signatures, 5 percent of the number of registered voters in Douglas County at the time the petition was submitted, were needed to place the question on the ballot in November.
She said workers in the county clerk's
office verified "1,100 and some" signatures of the 4,100 submitted before stopping.
Je Santanaaria, co-owner of the Eldridge House Dining Room and Club and organizer of the liquor petition, said he was pleased with the verification.
"IT'M ELATED," he said. "I think there's a very good chance that the issue will pass on."
"In 1970, when a state-wide referendum was held on the liquor issue, Douglas County
"With their added strength, there's no question that it will pass in Douglas."
Summerfield remodeling planned
was one of 12 counties in the state that voted in favor of the issue. Since then, the 18-year-old population declined by more than 50%.

A $250,000 remodeling plan is scheduled to be completed late next summer.
Business students and faculty members frustrated by overcrowding in Summerfield Hall and having classes scattered around the University should be relieved next fall.
Tollson said yesterday the plan would provide 15 to 17 new offices, three additional classrooms, resurfacing of the roof, doubling the size of the reading room and a remote job entry system to the computer center.
The plan will go before the Kansas Board of Regents Friday for approval, according to John O. Tolleson, associate dean of the School of Business.
THE PLAN ALSO suggested that the intense heat builtup inside the building, along the south-facing windows, could be reduced by the use of solar reflective panels, Tolleson said.
He said much of the space for remodeling was made available by moving the computer center to the new building east of Robinson Gymnasium.
Funding for the project already has been appropriated by the Kansas Legislature, according to Tolleison, $50,000 of which will be used to fund the Missouri field's roof because of leakage problems.
"We are about a year away from using that space," he said. "This will allow business people scattered over the University to be brought back under one roof."
Tollefson said the Regents had to approve the hiring of architects outside the University and the overall plan. Once approved, the architects would draw plans, contract bid documents, be opened in January and construction could begin as soon as a contract was signed.
Currently, more than 20 business classes
are taught in buildings other than Summerfield.
Currently, 43 counties have received and verified liquor-in-restaurant petitions. In addition to Douglas County, Neesho, Leavenworth, Osage and Ellsworth counties verified that the question would be placed on the local ballots.
Tollefson said expansion was necessary because the business school had grown rapidly.
"GENERALLY, THE school has 75 percent greater enrollment than five years ago and the faculty has nearly doubled," he said.

Full-time equivalency is determined by taking the total number of hours taught by the business school and dividing it by 15 for undergraduates and 9 for graduate students. Those two numbers represent full-time enrollment.
That number is based on the number of full-time equivalency students, which Telfeon said has increased from more than five years ago to more than 1,400 this fall.
The reading room is the same size it was eight to 10 years ago, he said. Some reference materials were not being put on the desk in the classroom, space, and students often could not be seated.
PLANS FOR remodeling began a year ago, Tolleson said, when a nine-member University committee, including students, faculty and architects, began to examine data on space that would be available once the computers were removed.
Most officials say it is doubtful, however,
that the Supreme Court will decide the case.
On Monday, John Martin, first assistant attorney general, and William Schutte, an assistant attorney general working with the attorneys of the federal court, the attorney general's office was considering an injunction to prevent the ABC from establishing regulation guidelines for the district.
The liquor-in-restaurants law, however, currently is being reviewed by the Kansas Supreme Court at the request of the state attorney general's office.
The 9.382 square feet of available space includes most of the building's first floor and a basement.
A petition in Allen County did not have a sufficient number of valid signatures to put the issue to a vote there, county officials said late Monday.
The state's two most populous counties, Johnson and Sedgwick, still are verifying signatures. Officials in Johnson County said they were not confident whether their petition had enough signatures.
Without rules, the ABC could not issue liquor licenses to applying restaurants.
Sedgwick county officials said their 10,000-signature petition would take until October.

Wilson said opening other buildings such as Watson Library, Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art, Robinson Gym, and the Kansas Union would be considered.
Wilson said a large majority of the students staying in the halls during the holidays were foreign students who could not go home because of the expense, the short time involved in the holiday or simply the inconvenience.
With the halls kept open, Wilson said, more people could decide to remain during the holidays, especially Thanksgiving.
"THIS IS A PROBLEM because with too many people around, more services are required to keep them occupied and entertained," he said.
He said keeping the halls open during the holidays also was a benefit to those who were homeless.
"MANY STUDENTS are inconvenienced because they are forced to leave the hall by a certain time or because they cannot return to school until a certain day and time," he said.
"Some who live nearby are always calling and asking if they can be let inside their hall because they forgot a textbook or a winter coat or a formal."
Wilson said if the halls were left open during the holidays, students could leave or return at their convenience, with a few restrictions.
"It could prove difficult to get enough of the staff willing to stay on during the holiday."
Wilson said there were many problems involved in the service that had not been seen.
He also said that tours to Kansas City or Topeka could be arranged if interest was strong enough and if students were willing to pay the costs.
FOR INSTANCE, if there were only one or two students remaining in a hall during the holiday, he said, they probably would be encouraged to move to another hall.
Last year, 143 students stayed in the three halls—McCollum, Templin and Joseph R. Pearson—that remained open for the holidays.
A second problem could be staffing and security.
The addition will provide 115,000 square feet for the School of Pharmacy and Medicine.
As in previous years, no food service will be provided in the residence balls, but on-site catering is available.

"Things are so crowded here that we have tables in the hall to seat students." Jeanne Richardson, assistant science librarian, Richardson, fingers while we wait for two years to go by.
The six-story addition will increase the library's area from 12,000 to 36,000 square feet and will provide seating for 350 students. The library can handle 150 students now.
Malott addition welcomed
An $11.5-million addition to Malott Hall, scheduled for completion in early 1980, will be a welcome relief from overcrowded classrooms. It will be Kansas Science Library, which is in Malott.

enable the KU collections of books and
journals of biological and physical sciences
to be brought to the science library.
Richardson said Old Green Hall currently housed the scientific literature that was formerly scattered in several campus buildings.
When the addition is finished, the science library will have the room to increase the size of the lab.
"We're hoping that when a student walks in, everything he'll need will be right there."
Richardson said the card catalogs and other indices would be centrally placed in a
Air-conditioning also will be added throughout the building. The library stack can be used to store books.
