Board OKs '85 hall contracts
By CHRISSY CLEARY Staff Reporter
Residence hall contracts for the 1985-86 school year were approved by the Residential Programs Advisory Board yesterday.
341 The advisory board approved a $97 base rate increase for the residence hall contracts. The increase compounded annually and $30 for attalies and $27 for utilities.
The hall contracts, along with the scholarship hall contracts and Stouffer Place contracts that were approved last week, next will be submitted to David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, and Chancellor Gene A. Budig for final approval.
Budig must submit the recommendation by Nov. 1 to the Board of Regents for approval.
The 1984-45 residence hall contract base rate for double occupancy ranges from $1,989 to $2,100 and from $2,989 to $3,100 for single rooms.
JAMES JEFFLEY, PRESIDENT of the Association of University Residence Halls, said he opposed the $37 utility rate increase because he felt that the Committee did not understand the figures supporting the rate increase.
"From looking at the pockets of students, I'm not pleased with the increase," Jeffrey said. "I'm all for paying bills, but I'm also for knowing why I'm paying the amount I'm paying."
However he said. "I don't think
students mind paying $30 for food - 12 cents a day - if they can get quality food. Students and mainte
nding students and getting an increase in salaries."
Jeffley said that although some students would oppose an increase, some contract rate increases were necessary.
"EATING, HAVING HEAT, electricity, water, gas and maintenance are important and they need to be paid for." Jeffrey said. "There's an energy economy that we're dealing with — the economy — and that affects us all."
Saturday meals will remain at all the balls. Jefrey yesterday withdrew an AUIRI proposal that a brunch served on the Saturday breakfast and lunch.
Stephan calls for system changes
The rights of the victim should be protected and can be protected without sacrificing the rights of the victim. Stephen said in a speech last night,
"I think the rights of the accused can be protected without legal technicalities that allow the guilty to go free." Stephan said. "I was always convinced that the victim is considered last."
Stephan spoke to about 25 persons at a Student Union Activities forum in the Alderson Auditorium of the Kansas Union.
In his speech, Stephan outlined several changes that he would like to see made in the judicial system.
One of those changes would be to eliminate preliminary hearing. Too much irrelevant evidence is presented in preliminary hearings, he said.
He also said that judges, instead of lawyers, should select juries. Lawyers should then be allowed to challenge the selections. Peremptory challenges, which allow lawyers to disqualify a certain number of prospective jurors without stating a reason, should also be eliminated.
"No one examines a jury to get an impartial jury," he said. "They want a prejudiced jury."
Another change Stephan suggested was that defendants in civil cases be allowed to cross file in the same suit to discourage unfair suits.
Stephan said unethical lawyers should be disciplined by non-lawyers instead of by other lawyers, because lawyers have a vested interest when
disciplining other lawyers.
"About the only time you ever see a lawyer disbarred in this state is if he or she steals some money," said Stenhan.
Stephan also supports uniform sentencing. Criminals who commit the same type of crime should receive the same sentence, with the possibility of probation but no possibility of parole.
Uniform sentencing would be fairer because sentencing would not depend on the lawyer's ability or the mood of the judge, he said.
Finally, he said, victims of crimes should be allowed to file victim impact statements describing the effect a crime had on their lives. Victim impact statements now are allowed in some Kansas counties.
