Uniform rent rates urged for space in state's unions
By DAVID LEWIS
Staff Reporter
To prevent spiraling student fees and tuition rates, the Task Force on Rental of Schools in the District of Columbia Sept. 4 to assess a uniform, annual rental rate on university students of space in union buildings.
The task force, composed of statewide members of the Council of Business Offices of New York, will present its recommendations to the Regents' Council of Student Advisory Board, will present its recommendations to the Regents' Council of Student Advisory Board.
The proposal could go to the Board of Regents as early as October.
The proposed recommendation requests an annual rental rate that ranges from $5 to $7 for each gross square foot of all office space in the state's seven regions.
More Kansas colleges and universities pay either more or less than the proposed rental rate, according to Margaret Berlin, student president and a member of the task force.
HOWEVER, AT KU the rental rate already is $5 to $7, Berlin said, and is being used as a model for other universities.
Traditionally, increased union rental fees
have been financed with higher student fees at enrollment.
Berlin said if rental fees were increased, she would request that the state pay the added cost.
"It is in the interest of the students," she said. "I'm concerned about raising the standards of my students. Students are having a tough time as it is paying for tuition. They need to have

In its July 30 report, the task force requested state funding for users of administrative and faculty space.
"I WOULD hope they (the legislators) see this as a high priority." Berlin said.
Student fees would continue to pay the rent for student offices, Berlin said.
Berlin said, however, that the Legislature would find it difficult to allot the funds because of a tight fiscal] 1981 budget.
"If this is not passed, I would wager to say that student fees would have to go up in a few years," she said.
"Most student unions in the state are finding it more difficult to survive. Something is going to have to give. From a place of power, a student union with its passing the proposal," she said.

"People seem to like the system because of the shorter lines and also because their books get here on time," she said.
Stevens said she was surprised at the large number of orders the bookstore had received, but added that yesterday and her probably would be the busiest days.
Most of the orders came from residence hall occupants and Jayhawker Tower residents, Stevens said.
Cherly Laskilider, Cedar Falls, Iowa, junior, and Linda Sater, Harrisburg, Va., junior, said they were pleased with the new ordering system.
"It is a lot better than standing in line," Laskiard said. "I ever went over to the main bookstore just to check the lines before coming here. This is so much nicer."
If the customer ordering system does catch on and proves beneficial to students, Brock said she would like to own a bookstore over to the same system.
Both women said they had heard about the service only recently.
"So far the system isn't costing the Union anything. We'll just have to wait and see," she said.
