"But the war has not even started yet."
He said the issue of withholding ROTC class credit from counting toward graduation requirements was complex.
"I'm not sure that all the issues involved have been addressed," Hardy said.
Christopher Craig, peer adviser for GLSOK, said the ROCT policy had been under fire at universities across the United States. Some student activists have been able to convince administrators to make
He said that he would not think that KU administrators were supportive of the gay and lesbian community until he saw some action.
"KU should be pressed to uphold its policy." Craig said.
Hardy said he thought the administration was pressing the issue and working as fast as it could.
"This issue is so complex." Hardy said. "It bothers me that people say we are not doing anything wrong, but the team that have remained committed."
Craig said he wanted the University to take the initiative and begin programs for homosexual students. Other schools have developed an office for homosexual concerns, programs, class courses and research centers for gay studies.
Stouffer residents may face $50 rent increase
By Tracey Chalpin Kansan staff writer
About 80 concerned Stouffer Place residents met last night to discuss increases that could raise their rent and increase $50 a month for the next two years.
Melissa Gratton, president of the Stouffer Neighborhood Association, said officers from the association distributed newsletters yesterday. The newsletters informed residents that if they did not attend the meeting to talk about alternatives, their rent could increase "immensely."
Stouffer Place rent is $170 a month for a one-bedroom apartment and $195 a month for a two bedroom apartment. A married man may be married live in Stouffer Place.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said the rent increase could be necessary to cover renovation costs at the apartments.
Gratton said the most common statement that she had heard from residents was that they did not want to pay for renovations they would not
Stoner did not attend the meeting but said that he would stay in touch with the residents through the neighborhood association officers.
Stoner said he would not make a decision about the rent increase until the end of October.
Stoner said he and other members of an advisory board would table discussions about alternatives suggested by them and then make a final decision.
Gratton said residents' alternatives to the $40 to $50 rent increase included an increase of 12 percent a month and an increase of $30 a month for three years.
Oliver Hobbs' house, 2516 W. Sixth Street, sits next to seven acres of farmland planted with milo. Hobbs rents the land to farmers.

Tiny farm on 6th holds out against surrounding growth
By Wes Dentor
Kansan staff writer
The farmhouse is a simple two-tory home with cherry, apple, plum, peach and pear trees in the back yard. On the west side of the house is a seven-acre field where milo is growing.
The house, 2516 W. Sixth St., is bordered by Graystone Apartments and Townhouses on the east and by a Dillon店 on the west.
Farmhouses are common in Kansas, but this farmhouse is situated on Sixth Street, a busy four-lane streetlined with retail businesses.
The 10 acres of land are the property of Oliver Hobbs.
Wulur Hobbs, the son of Oliver Hobbs, is watching the home while his parents are in Wyoming. He said he was trying to find a place in the family since the early 1920s.
"As long as I can remember, there always has been a farm here," Wilbur Hobbs said.
Jo Barnes, an agent for Acres Realtors, said the land was in a prime area for development.
"I have had clients who have shown interest in the land, but I
understand it is not for sale," she said.
However, Barnes said she did not mind that the land was not for sale. "It's nice to see crops growing on the property," she said.
"We had offers from real estate offices wanting to buy the land," he said. "We almost lost it once."
Wilbur Hobbs said the city once had an interest in the property, but that his father would never sell to anvone.
The property was left to Oliver Hobbs in 1963 after the death of his brother, who owned the property at the time.
"After my uncle's death, my father moved back to the farmhouse in
1967," Wilbur Hobbs said.
The family no longer farms the seven acres, but it rents the land to farmers.
"The land is zoned for agriculture." Wilbur Hobbs said. "We have to keep something growing out there."
But the farm on Sixth Street may not be around for much longer. Wilbur Hobbs said that when his father died, he would sell the land.
Oliver Hobbs receives a fifth of the crop or cash from the sale of the crop. Wilbur Hobbs said.
"The land will go one of these days, and I will be able to move to Alaska," he said.
