The 75 KU students now in temporary rooms in residence halls are still better off than students who were caught in the post-World War II housing crunch.
So many veterans returned to college to collect GI bill benefits that the University housed men in temporary rooms in the basement of Spooner Hall, below the football stadium and in old officers' barracks west of the stadium. The University had only Corbin Hall, built in 1923.
Fred McElhene, director of the office of residential programs, said Friday that the converted barracks, called Oread Hall, were used as overflow housing for 50 to 75 men as late as 1962.
McEhlene said the wooden structure was so primitive that he would not let students sign contracts for it until they had seen the building. The office received many complaints about the building, McEhlene said, but it was not demolished until the early '60s when a parking lot took its place.
McCOLLUM, ELLWORSH, Hashinger, Lewis and Templin halls were built between 1959 and 1965. Oliver Hall, the newest, was built in 1967.
In 1973, the halls had 670 cavant room, with an average of 25 students. The term year, McColum had an empire.
floor, and Templin had an almost empty one.
The housing crunch returned in 1975 as enrollment increases exceeded available rooms, and temporary housing was again needed. Fewer single rooms were offered the next year to provide more spaces.
Last year, the housing office began a policy of canceling contracts for late payments to help speed emptying of the temporary rooms.
KU HOUSING administrators said in December that they did not plan to add another residence hall because KU's enrollment was expected to drop.
McElhenie said the 51 men and 24 women waiting this year in activity rooms for others to break housing contracts could be there awhile. Although there are no guarantees, he said, most students are out of temporary housing by Thanksgiving every year.
Students in temporary rooms in McCollum, Hashinger and Oliver have not yet signed housing contracts, Scholars said. Those rooms are being valued by students and staff, amenities and sororities and make other off-campus living arrangements, he said.
"Some students are using our roommate list service," McEllenie said. Cards outside the office at 123 openings for off-campus roommates.
