Housing questions remain
CAMPUS AND AREA
By CHRISSY CLEARY Staff Reporter
More than 20 scholarship hall residents crowded into the Residential Programs Advisory Board's weekly meeting in Strong Hall yesterday to ask questions about their 1985-88 hall contracts.
The board adjourned the meeting after other topics had been discussed, and the students' questions were answered and other items were left unanswered.
Caryl Smith, dean of student life and chairman of the board, had told the students that they would have to wait until the end of the meeting to ask questions and that they would have to direct their questions to specific board members, not to the board as a whole.
University Daily Kansan, September 27, 1984
AMONG THE STUDENTS' inquiries was why only six of the eight scholarship halls were getting a 12 percent increase for utilities in their 1984-85 hall contracts.
J. J. Wilson, director of the housing department, agreed after the meeting to meet with representatives of each scholarship hall on Monday afternoon for a question and answer session to iron out other problems.
Debbie Stark, president of the All Scholarship Hall Council, said yesterday that in past years, the housing
department took all scholarship hall utility bills, added them up and divided by eight.
Then the housing department decided it was unfair to charge everyone for utilities, such as air conditioning, that not every hall had. Stark said a Utility manager was in judgment that Appleton Hall and Miller Hall, she said.
WILSON SAID THE utility rates didn't need to be raised in Watkins and Miller halls because those halls had not used all the cash allocated to them last year.
"watkins and Miller aren't as expensive as the others because part of their bill is paid from the Watkins and Miller estates," Wilson said, "That's the way Mrs. Watkins wanted it."
He said the two halls was supposed to have a little special treatment because Elizabeth Watkins had provided funds for the halls in her will.
IN OTHER ACTION, James Jeffley, president of the Association of University Residence Halls, said AURH would redesign its proposal to rechassis McCollum Hall, which is usually restricted to the AURH will present its final proposal at a 7:30 p.m. meeting in the Union.
The original proposal, which would allow freshmen to live in McCollum
Hall, led to a misunderstanding between members of AURH and McCollum residents even though the proposal was voted upon and approved at an AURH meeting at which a McCollum representative was present, Jeffley said yesterday.
"AURH AND MCCOLLUM are not in a big debate," Jeffley said. "There was a problem of wording and intent in the proposal. Many of us thought the basis of the proposal was that freshmen who were still student rary housing could now stay in their parents' other, others said the basis was that freshmen would be allowed to live there regardless of whether they were in temporary housing.
A proposed utility rate increase for residence halls was not discussed at the meeting, and no meeting was confirmed between AURH and the department of housing to discuss the rate increase. Also with AURH seeking written information on the department's proposed utility rate increase.
DURING LAST WEEK'S RPAB meeting, AURI recommended that utility rates for residence halls be raised $20 in the 1965-86 contracts. The housing department had recommended a $37 increase. The utility fee is included in a base rate for food, maintenance and social fees that students pay to live in residence halls.

Workshop assists diabetics
Eating anything in sight isn't part of the daily routine of several hundred students. It can't be, because these students have diabetes.
"It's like walking a tightrope with three poles," he said.
Each day they must monitor their levels of food intake, exercise and insulin, Paul Reith, a staff nurse at Wakim Hospital, said yesterday.
SEVERAL HUNDRED more students may have Type 2 diabetes, a condition in which insulin is present but cannot function effectively. Reith said.
About 100 students have Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes. In this form a person is deficient in insulin, Reith said.
Insulin is a protein that is essential to metabolize blood sugar in the body, and people with diabetes must use insulin to take regular doses of insulin.
Because Type 2 sometimes has mild symptoms, he said, a person may have Type 2 without knowing it. Type 2 usually appears in adults, and Type 1 usually strikes
children or youth.
Common symptoms of untreated diabetes are dry mouth, thirst, frequent urination and slow healing of sores. Reith said.
tending to serve others.
To help these students and other interested persons. Reith and four other KU health professionals will present a workshop on diabetes management on Saturday. The workshop will be from 1 to 5 p.m. at Watkins.
Reith said that between 200,000 and 400,000 people in the nation had Type 1 and 6 to 8 million had Type 2.
MOVING FROM HOME to a college campus creates special problems for diabetics in choosing cafeteria meals and managing irregular schedules, Reith sai<sup>21</sup>
"The transition from home to school is an abrupt one," he said. "These individuals require more adjustment than most students."
The ability to cope with the stress of adjusting, he said, has a direct bearing on the health of a diabetic person.
disease person." Stress is one of the most common causes of diabetes being out of control," he said.
He said stress raised the levels of hormones that block the function of insulin and thus allow blood sugar to increase.
Carla Dykeman, Wellington graduate student, said that having Type 1 diabetes had not restricted her activities in college but that it had required thinking ahead.
"I have to live a certain routine because it's always there, and it has to be planned for," she said.
DYKEMAN WILL SPEAK at the workshop about going through college with diabetes.
Reith said the workshop would provide information about a support group for diabetics, a group that Dykeman belongs to.
Other workshop speakers will be Dean Kerkman, clinical psychologist at Watkins; Lawrence Magee, a staff physician at Watkins; Howard Rytting, professor of pharmacy; and Ann Kohl, dietitian at Watkins.
Kohl said that foods containing large amounts of sugar, such as candies, pastries, ice cream and soft drinks, caused problems for diabetics. No one kind of food completely meets nutritional needs of diabetics or anyone else.
"The meal plan recommended for a diabetic is a healthy way for all Americans to eat," she said.
IT'S ROSH HASHANAH
Today our Jewish neighbors observe Rosh Hashanah, New Year! May it be a good New Year!
But they aren't the only ones who are different — think of the Irish, Poles, Native Americans, and even Swedes.
For most of us this is not New Year's Day.
Yes, Jews are different,
even though Christians and Muslims share that heritage.
There's something exciting about differences, especially if we take time to find out and learn about them.
