Lot spaces are endangered species
By YAEL. AROUHAIKAH
Most University of Kansas residence halls are overflowing this year, and the battle of the bulge has been ongoing.
For some residents, apparently, the problem means parking illegally along yellow curbs, double parking and parking on city streets.
The worst problems overcrowding, officials say, are at McCollum, Ellsworth and GSP-Corbin halls.
These officials, who oversee the parking situation at the residence halls, maintain that there are ample number of parking spaces in resident-hall lots. However, the space available isn't always in the resident's own lot.
Frick PhilJeff, chairman of Parking and Traffic Board, said yesterday that residents who didn't find room to park in either McColm or Ellsworth halls could park in other Daisy Field lots at Hossegor. Lawrence Tortoise halls.
He also said there was always room in the Daisy Field extension lot of west of Iowa Street.
Frickey said the overcrowding problem at the two balls didn't occur at other KU halls.
"I don't perceive this as being a big problem," he said of overcrowding.
Parking lots at residence halls, according to resident Parkers, are either full or overflowing at three of the six
"Around McCollum, we seem to have a problem." according to Anita Webla-Elhmann, co-founder at McCollum. "I know she's been wrong, but I don't know how to solve it."
She said it was possible that more residents didn't park in the extension parking lot because, "walking back at them was very much a nuisance."
curbs, but neither she nor her husband had any complaints directly from residents about the situation.
Despite the cars parked on the yellow curbs, she said, "I haven't noticed any towing and I haven't heard of anyone being towed. We've just noticed cars parked all over the place."
Helen Mamarchev, director at GSP-Corbin, said parking lots at the two halls were very full. But she added, "you can usually find a couple of spaces if you look hard enough."
Gary Fianigan, director at Ellsworth, said the parking situation "is very poor here. They (residents) have a lot of cars."
The main worry for Ellsworth residents, Flanigan said, is that many don't get to park in front of their own durnn and are forced to either park in another hall's lot, in the extension lot across Iowa Street or along yellow curbs.
The resident director at Lewis, Molly Laffin, said the hall had a lot of spaces for residents' cars. This opinion was echoed by Janet Hoffman, Hashinger director, who said the hall probably had less residents—and thus less problems—than other halls because of the high number of residents allotted single rooms.
David Jeans, director at Joseph R. Pearson Hall, said, "We've been in real good shape here. There appears to be sufficient spaces for cars, although we are close to filling the number of spaces available."
Thomas said that Security and Parking personnel were issuing tickets to those illegally parked cars, and that the company was not involved.
Mike Thomas, director of Security and Parking, said he wasn't aware of any problems caused by the overcrowding of resident-hall parking lots, but he said there had been a lot of parking on yellow curbs.
There presently are no plans to enlarge the parking capacity of the residence hall system, Thomas said, because there is still enough parking space available to handle all residents, even at Daisy Hill. Residents who use the Hill permits, he explained, can park in any of the five library parking lot or in the extension lot across Iowa.
Wilson said some residents considered their inability to park directly in their hall's lot a problem because this situation usually necessitated parking in another hall's lot and walking the remaining distance.
J. J. Wilson, director of housing, said the residence-hall parking lots contained ample spaces for residents use. He said McCollum and Eldsworth halles seemed to have a room with full lots, which prompted people to park illegally.
Wilson said the housing office was always aware of how many parking spaces the halls had and how many residents would be living in that year. The problem was, if you had parking officials don't know how many students will have cars.

The endless search for a parking space has caused a few problems for residence hull parking lots this semester. It has become common practice to use the designated parking spaces for vehicles.

Discrimination regulations puzzle KU administrators
By ALAN MANSAGER Senate Reporter
Proposed federal regulations against sex discrimination at colleges and universities
The regulations, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, are proposals to prohibit sex discrimination in schools or activities receiving federal aid.
The proposals, issued in June by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), are primarily concerned with discrimination in admission procedures, the treatment of students and employment at colleges and universities
The major complaint of University officials is that Title IX is too vague.
The proposals are too general. Del Shanktet, executive vice chancellor, said
"My complaint is that they are awfully unclear," he said. "They don't provide guidelines, and until these are clarified and tested in court, ambiguities will exist."
Taylor said Title IX was unclear and incomplete.
Shanker said the administration was drafting a resolution about its view of Title 12 in connection with the case.
Emily Taylor, dean of women, said that if Title IX became law, it would influence almost everything that happened at the University.
She said the proposals would affect admissions promotions in the various colleges. In either sex, sex-based scholarships, housing and insurance benefits, intramural sports, some single-sex University-funded employment and employment at the University.
"There isn't enough discussion of af-

firm性 action," she said. "There are no requirements about schools making analyses, no requirements about part-time or older students, no treatment about admission in admission programs and activities in timetables or deadlines when this is due."
There aren't any provisions outlining methods to inform students about equal opportunities, she said, and the provisions concerning athletic scholarships aren't enough. She also said that part-time employment and fringe benefits were vague.
Taylor said her office wasn't as concerned with changing the regulations as it was with keeping them in place.

Among the major scholarships offered at KU, the Summerfield and Watkins-Berger scholarships may be affected, since they are "since-sex" scholarships.
A series of regulations proposed by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) prohibiting sexual bias in education may affect many of the scholarships offered at the University of Kansas.

Jerry Rogers, director of Student Financial Aids, said yesterday that no one was sure how the ruling would affect KU scholarship.

Aid affected by sex
The nominees for these scholarships are selected on a nonsexual basis from the list of the current year's National Merit Scholarship semi-finalists. Rogers said.
There also are many smaller scholarships that are awarded, which carry the same "single-sex" restriction, said Rogers. More women than men, women than to men, according to Rogers.
"The people are named for their academic achievement, and if needed, a学位证书."
The only difference is in the name of the scholarship that the student is awarded. The Summerfield scholarship is awarded to men, and the Watkins-Berger scholarship to women, Rogers said. The money awarded is based entirely on need.
Rogers said he was unsure what would be done if the restrictions on 'single-use' plastics were enforced.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes has invited him to attend the regular meetings of the staff and the administrative group. Nichols said.
Nichols wants KU life
Nichols, who was executive secretary of KU for 43 years and chancellor in 1979.23, retired July 1.
Chancellor Emeritus Raymond Nichols' shoulders ache, but their soreness no longer comes from carrying the burdens of the University of Kiel.
Nichols said yesterday that his shoulders ached from working around the lawn when he began to be spent the time after his retirement this summer doing yardwork.
"We'll have to go through the courts on
them to get it rearranged," he said. "We
have to get it rearranged."
Chris said that he would have an office at KU with space for a desk and file.
"It'll be a place that I can come to do something occasionally and where I'll be available for counsel," he said.
Another problem may occur in scholarships awarded by various departments in the University, said Rogers. For example, in the department of engineering, students must have to give out scholarships in proportion to the number of women in the department.
None of these problems will be solved,
immediately, and Todd Seymour, director of
the JROTC, will be involved.
Conflicts in foreign scholarship restrictions also may occur if the HWE regulations are adopted. The Rhodes Scholarship, which is available only to men for study at the University of Oxford in England, will conflict with the "single-ex" restrictions, Marilyn Stokstad, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said.
"There is a lot of interpretation to the
law," he said. "The bequeasts are a legal standing contract and will have to go to probate court for determination. Any change now would be a contract of breach."
Seymour said that the Endowment Association hadn't begun to review the various scholarships because they didn't know how to interpret the law.
"We won't take much of a look until the final requirement comes out," he said, "and to us it will mean nothing."
on Education, HEW said. “Where selection is based on competitive skill, athletics may be provided through separate teams for each student and through a single team open to both sexes.”
Some people on the campus interpreted
the statement to mean that intramural
games were in violation of U.S. law.
"One could interpret it that way," said Wayne Ossess, chairman of the department of health, physical education and recreation. "Admittedly, it wouldn't make any difference to me if we had coed intramurals."
Shankel disagreed.
"My personal opinion is that it will be a burden in certain sports but not in others," he said.
John Beinser, student body president, said that participation by women in certain intramural sports would defeat the purpose of equality. He said that men were physically superior to women in certain sports, but that women dunks in basketball were unfeasible, because men would dominate the play, forcing women to take a less active role.
"Women on StudEx this summer felt women couldn't participate to the fullest extent in some sports in competition with men." Beiser said.
Omeness said that men preferred to play basketball with girls. he did say, however, "I don't like it."

More pardons
President Ford is considering pardoning all 48 men convicted or accused of Watergate-related crimes, a White House spokesman said yesterday. The disclosure intensifies the controversy surrounding Ford's pardon of former President Nixon. A White House aide also released a list of 10 areas besides the Watergate coverup that Special Prosecutor Jaworski had considered for filing charges against Nixon. Ford's press secretary denied Nixon made any deal on pardon before he resigned. See page 2.
More jobs
Work Force 75 is trying to help graduating seniors jobs. Pete Kanatzar, director of the organization, plans to contact 15,000 business in Kansas, Missouri and Illinois and all seniors graduating this fall, next spring or next summer to try to bring them together. Kanatzar said he hoped Work Force 75 would become a centralized clearing house for job information. He also said he hoped it would be more successful than a similar effort last year, which turned up 27 jobs. See page 5.
Cloudy
The weather will be cloudy and cooler with a chance of thundershowers. The high today will be in the 70s, and the low tonight will be in the 40s. The rain today is high—50 per cent today and 30 per cent tonight.
