Stouffer Place residents organize to air complaints
By BOB PITTMAN Staff Reporter
Upset about KU administrative policy, Stouffer Place residents are organizing a group that should vocalize their needs. Tim Roehrig, Stouffen resident, spokesman, said yesterday.
"As a group of students, we've been ignored for far too long" he said. "We must have a collective voice to express our needs. We've had too much noise from students. We get nothing back in return."
About 700 people live in the apartments, according to J.J. Wilson, director of housing. He said about 450 were students, 300 married students for married students and their families.
Sterling said the move to organize was triggered by the condition of the Stouffer area walkways and the quality of snow removal.
"In a letter I received from Chancellor Dykes on July 20, the chancellor promised he would undertake before this winter," he would be undertaken before this winter," he has been done to improve their condition.
STERLING SAID the petition was sent to Chancellor Aesch R. Dykes and Wilson.
The letter read, in part:
"If all goes well, work will be started soon, and parts of the improvement program will be finished before the academic year begins.

"In any event, we hope that all of the improvements can be accomplished before bad weather sets in in late fall.

Residents who live in about 15 of the 25 buildings in the Stouffer Place complex use two narrow gravel paths to walk to campus.
The paths run from buildings in the eastern part of complex of the northernwest house. House practice field where they connect with a larger, concrete walkway that comes between the two houses.
Although the walkway was constructed during the summer, Sterling said, Stouffer residents are still dissatisfied.
"OUR PETITION was aimed directly at the other pathways we mentioned. We
wanted them improved," he said. "We feel the chancellor has broken his promise to us."
Dykes was unavailable for comment.

Stirling said residents had sent the problem to the county sheriff, who issued a summary because of problems they had encountered in dealing with the office of housing.
"We have called J. J. Wilson's office many times to give us information on Sterling, we've let our name many times, but he's never returned our call. We been referred to other people. We call Sterling."
HOWEVER, WILSON said, "These people never even tried to meet them. They formed a bond and then moved on. It was foolish for me to try to intercede. I never turn down a call. I'm not bent out of place."
"We are working on a network of walks that will lead into the main, concrete walkway." Wilson said.

He said snow was removed first from areas that were hardest hit by a storm.
"If the largest amount of snow fell on Stouffer Place, obviously, we would remove it first.
Sterling said Stouffer residents would hold a meeting on Oct. 4 to organize and draw up an agenda.
"We hope to form a neighborhood organization that can help bring Stouffler residents together and address our grievances," he said. "Our needs are
universal among us, but we have no representative body to speak for us."
Gardner said that at a later meeting the possibility of Stouffer representation in the Senate had been discussed.
WEDNESDAY, six Stouffer representatives meet at Rex Gardner, committee meeting to ask for assistance organizing a representative group according to Rex Gardner, committee member.
"Although Stuffer residents are not represented as a group in the Senate, students living there are represented by teachers from their school of study," he said.
Members of other living groups, such as residence halls, do not have representation through their living groups, he added.
Sterling said he hoped the group would eventually be able to win the support of Stouffer residents and effectively represent them.
