KU hit again by housing crunch
On-and-off-campus housing for University of Kansas students once again is becoming a rare commodity, despite the high cost; it attempts to ease the annual fall shortage.
Fred McElhenny, director of KU's office of residential programs, said Monday that the staff in his program had facilities in KU residence halls had increased this year, despite a larger number of students.
On Monday, 170 students were living in temporary housing spaces. All temporary spaces for men were filled, and only a small number of spaces remained for women, he said.
McEllenie said all spaces in residence halls had been contracted for by last May. Because all available spaces in the halls technically are filled, students wanting a room are placed on a list and assigned a space. Students who served basis as vacancies become available.
Although students have been told that permanent housing might be available in six weeks, McElhene said no guardians could own or campus housing would be provided.
THE NUMBER of single-occupancy rooms was reduced this year, providing about 250 additional rooms. However, all the additional rooms were filled.
"This is especially interesting in that this year we have more spaces to fill," he said.
McElhene expressed surprise at the ranid occupancy of the residence halls.
Students living in temporary housing this year have been assigned spaces in libraries, lounges and end rooms of residence halls to more suitable housing can be found.
"We have tried to remove those less-than-desirable rooms. We have tried to make temporary rooms more private and less objectionable this year," McElhenie said.
CATHY BROWN, a Prairie Village sophomore who moved into the television studio at Gertrude Sellars Pearson Hall Sunday, said she was living in temporary housing because she had failed to make money on her original room at Oliver Hall.
Brown said that although she was satisfied with the way the office of residential programs had treated her, she wished she had obtained permanent
"I feel like I am Anne Frank somewhere in a concentration camp," she said.
Kimberly Koon, Olathe senior, another of the six girls sharing the television lounge, said she was worried about how she would study to until a room was found for her.
ON MONDAY, about 15 foreign students were being housed in the University of Texas at Austin. Woefelt, assistant director of foreign students. She and 12 to 13 students were

With most of the on-campus housing already rented, the rest of Lawrence had little solitude to offer the apartment or room seeker.
Nancy Harper, spokesman for the Oread
Neighborhood Association, said the
organization had been contacted by
numerous students trying to find places to live.
"The housing situation seems to be really tight this year," she said.
Mary Lynch, Lawrence realtor and owner of several rooing houses, said inflation was causing many students to look for rooms and apartments off-camars.
However, McElhene said he thought inflation was keeping students in residence halls.
