Elderly rights group formed
Two KU associate professors of social welfare are helping to form a senior chair of the Center.
The two professors, Ed Dutton and Ann Weick, both senior citizens themselves, say they are especially interested with problems faced by the elderly.
The senior citizens' group will be designed to find gaps in existing programs for the elderly and will try to find ways to fill those gaps, Dutton said.
The founders of the group say that their group won't be as radical as the Congress, but they do that has staged strikes, sit-ins and has gained much publicity nationwide.
Instead, the group will act as an advocacy group and will help or in-
fluence other groups.
"One function might be to encourage agencies already providing services for senior citizens to include some additional needed services," Weck said.
Most senior citizens face transportation problems and problems with driving.
support not provided by other programs. Dutton said.
For instance, the group would try to start support groups like the Ring-A-Day program, where members call for help. Each person's day to check on them, he said.
Dutton said that about 40 people attended the group's organization, making it a 'huge success.'
"We're not another service agency,
Weck said. "We want to provide ad-
ditional services."
THE GROUP will not seek government funding if it can find other funding, Dutton said. He said he envisioned a new program that self-supporting volunteer organization.
"Even though our concern is specifically for elderly issues," Weick said, the group is formed by people of all ages. "We all need to be aware of and concerned with the needs of the elderly."
A sub-committee of the group will meet next week to decide what issues it will focus on, Weick said.
The next year, vandalism costs were again on the rise and increased by more than $21,000 in 1977, according to housing office figures. Vandalism costs have risen every year since. Last year, vandalism cost halls $41,434.
Vandalism on the KU campus overall has remained about the same for the past two years, according to Jenne Longaker of the KU police department. From Aug. 28 to Nov. 15, 79 inpatient longacks caused an estimated $6,733 in damages to mailboxes, blue emergency phones, signs, walls and sidewalks, she said.
KU vehicles also were hit by vandals,
causing approximately $3,483 and
156 injuries.

If the vandalism and improvement fund is not spent on vandalism repairs, the money can be used for hall improvements that residents want, Wilson said.
When the vandalism and improvement fund was set up in 1973, vandalism costs were about $150,000. Vandalism declined and a reached a decade low of $12,928 in 1976.

Vandalism
"Most residents have made a real effort to cut down on vandalism," she said.
At least two members of the residence hall system have questioned the practice of classifying needed hall repairs under vandalism.
Paul Nance, assistant resident director for Hassinger Hall, said he had the same concern. Nance said he was not sure just what the office of housing, is responsible for the maintenance of the hall, considered vandalism.

"A lot of things they charge to van-
gether," he said, "it's actually the result
of we work together."
J. J. Wilson, housing director, said determining whether needed hall repair was the result of wear-and-tear or vandalism, "was necessarily a judgment. Most damage to hall however, resulted from vandalism," he said.
ACCORDING TO housing figures, 7.7 percent of the more than $300,000 1979-80 housing budget was allocated for building and equipment repairs, while 6.2 percent was allocated for repairs during 1980-81.
Hashinger had spent the least amount of vandalism repairs of all the hails for the last four years, according to housing figures.
damage to residence halls comes from the Vandalism-Special Improvement funds that were designed to discourage vandalism, according to Wilson. Each resident housing contract includes an $18 fee that goes into funds for each hall. Halls are funded according to the number of residents they can house.

At the Vatican, Pope John Paul II rescued rescue workers and said, "We ask that the generosity of hearts and the solidarity of an entire society may correspond fully with the demands of the moment."
In many mountain villages, freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall added to the misery of tens of thousands living in tents, caravans and other
makeshift shelters. Terrified women and children fled into the muddy fields early yesterday when the aftershock hit.
In the village of Balvano, where a church collapsed on 300 worshippers last Sunday, a score of screaming and weeping women rushed out of the police station where they had been taking refuge.

Glusepee Zamberletti, the government commissioner in charge of overall rescue operations, told a news conference in Napies that the government's plan for evacuating villagers from the stricken mountain region to requisitioned hotels in coastal resorts was already under way.
ZAMBERLETTI SAID that persuasion, and not force, would be used to evacuate the 126 villages most severely damaged by the quake.
Throughout the stricken area, villagers with relatives living and working in Germany, Switzerland and other European countries, their homes to live with their relatives.
