Agreement useful, roommates say
By CHRISSY CLEARY
Staff Reporter
Getting to know the pet peeves of a roommate before the semester is long under way has helped reduce friction, according to some students living in residence halls.
"It helped me get to know him," Lon Weatherton, Overland Park freshman, said about his roommate at Templin Hall. "Like you want him to mess with your stuff and when to have people over. It helped because I wasn't sure what he thought."
In a policy change this semester, students living in residence halls were encouraged to complete a roommate agreement that allows students to decide whether guests are allowed in their rooms and when they can visit. The agreement also specifies each roommate's pet peeves and what they are willing to share.
Resident assistants at the University's eight residence halls reported that most students didn't turn their contracts in to RAs, but many talked about the agreement
"We DIDN'T FILL out the contract," said Shannon Stube, Leavenson freshman and Hashinger Hall resident. "We talked through it. It gave us an idea of what to discuss."
Chris Followell, RA for the third floor at Hashinger, said that the agreement brought up questions about situations freshmen may not have considered.
Still, some residents didn't think the agreements were necessary.
Gay Herich, Waukegan, III., freshman and Hashinger resident, said she and her roommate didn't think an agreement was necessary because they had talked about sharing a room and already had discussed problems they might have.
The new residence hall policy also changed the guest registration procedure, which now requires residents and their guests to show photo IDs if the guest comes in after 11 p.m. Both the resident and the guest must pick up their IDs together when the guest leaves.
THE NEW SECURITY policy, affecting six of the eight residence halls, is a compromised version of a policy proposed last spring by the University administration that would have prohibited overnight guests of the opposite sex in residence halls.
Some students think the updated visitation policy could be improved to ensure that all guests are registered.
Gelaine Bailey, Kansas City, Kan. senor, and a resident at the all female Lewis Hall, said that registering guests only after 11 p.m. left the possibility that residents would not
"I think the reasoning behind the policy is good," Bailey said, "but I don't think the problem is solved. Residents just bring people right before 11 p.m. to spend the
The policy is a good idea, but if they're going to do that, then they should check IDs
Fred McElheene, director of residential programs, said that a 24-hour security program would be possible if students were willing to pay for it.
"A 24 hour security system would be very expensive," McElhene said. "I hope for the good will of the students that they check their guests in. We're trying to maintain some semblance of security. We're not checking up on them."
STEPHANIE MICHOLS, CHANUTE
tremanshar and a Lewis Hall resident, agreed
Krista Roberts, Wichita freshman and a GSP resident, said. "You feel a lot sater. You know the people in here belong in here." And once you get to it, it's no big deal.
1LSA MILLER, SHAWNEE senior and a desk assistant at Lewis Hall, said, "People were having overnight guests that roommates didn't want. Now, even if women are staying over, they both have to leave IDs and pick them up together in the morning. Everyone seems pretty agreeable."
Men can visit the women at Gertrude Sellars Pearson and Corbin halls only at certain times. Some women complain, but most think checking IDs is a good idea.
Michael Osterbuhr, resident director at Templin, said that even though the men were not required to register guests, the residents and staff of the library offer to ask them for residence hall IDs.
KU looking for different gas pipeline
By BRENDA STOCKMAN Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Owners of the natural gas pipeline now serving the University of Kansas again turned down an opportunity to continue transporting KU's gas
KU officials earlier asked Northwest central to provide more information about the possibility of leasing the pipeline, and the company's answer responded to the request.
Northwest Central Pipeline Corp., which owns the pipeline, said yesterday it was not now interested in transporting natural gas from Oklahoma to Illinois. The Rodger Orekale, director of support services.
"They've said things are changing, and the company don't want to transport gas for us. Don't mind."
Kansas Public Service, the local utility, has the current KU gas contract and a
Officials from Northwest Central could not be reached for comment.
THE UNIVERSITY WILL evaluate Northwest Central's response and the alternatives available to determine the next steen within a couple of days, Oroke said.
For the first time, the University accepted bids during the summer from gas suppliers. A 1983 law allows schools and hospitals to bid for gas supplies in a market rather than from only the hotel chain.
KPS did not submit a bid before the July 6 deadline.
Bob Salome, KPS president, said that the utility did not submit a bid because of its difficulty.
KU already buys natural gas from KPAs at an incentive, or discounted rate. Salome
OHOTE SAID IN August that the incentive rate was higher than the three bids submitted
Petro D. Corp, Tulsa, Okla , was the low bidder at $2.93 per mcf.
KPS now charges KU $3.71 per mcf, or a thousand cubic feet of gas.
Bogina Petroleum Engineers, Lonexa, and Specified Energy Services Ltd. Bonner Springs, also submitted bids and are withdrawn from university for a possible natural gas contract.
Oroke said most of the discussions so far had dealt with the transportation of gas. He said some smaller gas companies were trucking gas because the large pipelines didn't want to transport gas without selling it.
Tracking might not be the most attractive alternative for KU because of the volume of storage.
THE UNIVERSITY WILL have to build a pipeline unless it leases the line from Northwest Central or moves the gas by truck. Building a pipeline would cost about $250,000.
The University could pay for the line with expected savings of $400,000 from the lower gas rate but would have difficulty building a pipeline before the current contract ends.
Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations, said that he and other KU officials weren't concerned about ending the KPS contract without having a new agreement
Students compete to be last survivor in assassin game

Slunking up the hullway, backs pressed to the wall; they dash to the showers, take unexpected routes to the caterain and hide in big crowds to dodge their dreaded assassins
The lurking assassins could be anywhere — in the hall, on campus or watching television in the lobby. Only the exposure of them $1.99 dart guns would give them away.
Assassin is the name of the game that 35
kids students have chosen to play. And it does
not require any special skills.
Each participant randomly picks a victim. Each player and his designated victim's name are kept on a lock labeled away in the backpack. If the victim is alone, a sole survivor is left to take his place.
At midnight Sunday, the game began John Idoux, Overland Park sophomore, started the game with a meeting for fifthfloor Ellsworth Hall residents.
SHOOTING THE VICTIM with a lethal dart in the bathroom or in a room on the fifth floor is forbidden, Idoux said. The assassins also cannot shoot anyone in the back
"Even assassins have morals," he said. A successful killing requires at least one weapon, and he is not one of them.

Manhattan, Kan., junior.
From her conspirator's room, Real called the room across the hall from her intended victim's room. To answer the phone call, the conspirator needed to enter the territory — and then cross back to his room.
Reid intended to blast her victim as he made his way back to safe ground. But he was too quick for her, and she missed, hitting the wall with her lethal dart.

When a killing is made within all of the regulations, one witness, the assassin and the victim must sign a piece of paper and turn it in to the head assassin.
When the game is reduced to a single assassin, the sole survivor will become the head assassin, and the game will begin again.
Scott Focke, Atwood sophomore, said he enjoyed the game because it broke the routine of residence hall living
"There are a lot of people that you usually don't see," he said. "But if you draw their attention to the camera, they will notice."
