Rate hike studied for halls
By Bob Tinsley Of the Kansan staff
Residents of some KU residence halls can expect to pay as much as $14 more next year to live in University housing if proposed changes in the 1986-87 rate schedules are approved this year.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, yesterday unveiled the proposal at a meeting of the Residential Programs Advisory Board.
The board is expected to decide on the proposal by Oct. 15. The plan then would require approval of the University administration and the Board of Regents.
If accepted, the proposal would equalize the rates paid by residents of all residence halls except Hashinger. The current rate schedule for the residence halls, which now has six payment plans, would be condensed into two plans.
Hashinger residents pay more to help maintain the hall's Center for Education.
One of the plans is for residents of Hashinger Hall to be charged $2,25 a month.
year, an increase of $3 over this year's rate.
The other plan covers the seven other University residence halls. Residents of those halls would pay $2,135 for the academic year. This means residents of Joseph R. Pearson and Templin halls would pay $14 more, but residents of Oliver Hall would pay $18 less.
Hashinger residents who want to occupy a single room would pay $3,225. The rate would be $3,135 at any other hall.
Under the proposal, residents of Stouffer Place, Sunflower Apartments and the eight scholarship halls would see no change in their rates.
At Atkayhower Towers, residents pay $240 to $480 monthly, depending upon the location of the apartment, equipment and the size of its living room.
Under the proposal, rents at the Towers would vary from $432 to $472 monthly.
Residents of the Towers can choose to lease their apartments jointly or as individuals. Those who pay as
individuals are responsible only for a portion of their rent. Under a joint lease, an occupant may be held responsible for the total amount of his rent.
Residents who sign leases as individuals could expect to see their rent rise as much as $15 monthly. The amount of the increase would depend on the type of apartment they occupied and how many people lived there.
Residence hall dwellers also would see a change in their fee payment timetable under the proposal. The current schedule stretches over 11 months and the proposed schedule would cover nine.
A $200 payment would be due in April from students who planned to return to the residence halls in the next year. They would then pay $215 monthly from June to December and make final payments in February and March.
Residents who prefer to pay for the year in advance would receive a $50 refund if they paid by July 1.

Although the Miss America pageant is over, it will live on in the minds of the 51 women who stood on the stage.
Elizabeth Hunter, Austin, Minn.,
senior, represented her home state in
the pageant Saturday in Atlantic City,
N.J. and said yesterday that
the experience of competing in the Miss America pageant was interesting and exciting.
Student recalls pageant memory
"I was very happy with the job I did in the pageant," Hunter said from her home in Austin. "My preparation in the last three months nailed off."
A retired statistics professor from Bellevue, Wash., who correctly predicted that Miss Mississippi would become Miss America this year, predicted that next year's Miss America probably would come from the Midwest and that the next Miss Minnesota could be a finalist.
Miss Mississippi, Susan Akin, won the pageant.
"I think he should have predicted that this year," Hunter said.
Even though she didn't come home with the crown, the pageant helped to open opportunities for her singing career, she said.
it made me realize that I'm ready to be a performer." Hunter said. "I made good contacts to further my career."
Hunter said she felt at ease on stage during her talent performance and the other parts of the show. She also performed many times before.
For the 'talent competition,
Hunter sang "Love is Where You
Find It," a selection from the
loving musical "The Kissing Boundy."
Pagement officials made all the women feel like winners, she said. Each year about 80,000 women enter the Miss America pageant at the local level. The winners at the local level then compete in the state pageants. Only 51 make it to Atlantic City.
"Atlantic City is a very energetic city," Hunter said. "The atmosphere was one of friendship and everyone was enthusiastic about having the pageant there."
Although the contestants were too busy to see much of Atlantic City, she said they participated in a parade down the Boardwalk.
Hunter said friendship was a big part of the program and she planned to keep in touch with some of the other contestants.
"I felt very good about representing my state and promoting the Miss America program," she said.
"They kept telling us that we were all very special. We're all state winners, and there's nothing to be ashamed of for not winning."
Hunter didn't enroll at the University of Kansas this semester, but she said she would return next semester. She didn't mind missing one semester of school to fulfill her duties as Miss Minnesota, she said.
