Housing
Continued from p.1
Stoner said he previously had told hall officers of Miller and Watkins halls that they were not receiving rate increases because of the renovations they received in their halls the last two years.
The renovations were paid for by the Elizabeth M. Watkins Trust Fund, which was set aside specifically to maintain the two scholarship balls.
The reasons for the increases are. Stoner said, that the rates now will include social fees and that the women's hall rates have been too low for quite some time.
However, in order to help pay for improvements, the residents would agree to the rate increase, she said.
Discussion about a proposed payment plan for the residence halls also
The proposal would allow students to pay for stallments or in eight installments.
Drew Blossom, president of the Association of University Residence Halls, told RPAB members that some students living in the residence halls opposed a new eight-month payment plan that would increase monthly rent payments to $240 a month.
Under the current plan, residents pay $215 a month for nine, plus a first, larger installment. Blossom said some students were worried they wouldn't be able to make enough money and would be upset though there were two fewer monthly payments and the total rate cost would remain the same.
However, Blossom said, he talked with Stoner, who said the number of monthly payments could be negotiated with the board at a later date. The total rate cost is acceptable to AURH, Blossom said.
The approved rates are:
■ In all residence halls except HashingHall Hall, $2,136 a year for a double-occupant room and $3,140 a year for a single-occupant room. The rates represent an increase of $1 and $5 a year, respectively.
At Hashinger Hall, $2,224 a year for a double room and $3,228 a year for a single room. The cost of a single room would decrease $1, and a double room's cost would increase $3.
At Sunflower Apartments, $265 a month, a 10.4 percent increase.
■ At all men's scholarship halls, $1,720 a year, an increase of 0.7 percent.
At Douthart and Sellards scholarship halls, $1.720 a year, an increase of 7.5 percent.
At Miller and Watkins scholarship halls, $720 a year, an increase of 18 percent.
At Jayhawker Towers, rates would not change. A single occupant costs $4,600 a year, and two occupants pay $2,304 a year each. Three-occupant rooms will have the person with the private room being charged $1,840 a year, and the other two sharing a room paying $1,384 a year. Four occupants pay $1,152 a year each.
At Stouffer Place, $160 a month for a single-bedroom apartment, a 2.6 percent increase. For a double bedroom, $185 a month, a 5.1 percent increase.
Researchers discover unknown herpes virus
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Researchers have discovered a new virus in patients with certain cancer and immune system disorders but are uncertain whether the virus causes the disease, scientists said yesterday.
"It's new in the sense it's newly discovered," Gallo said. "It looks like a herpes-related virus. There hasn't been a new one found since the '60s, so it's the first new one in 20 years."
The virus belongs to the herpes family but is different enough from identified members to lead scientists to think it is something previously unknown, said Robert Gallo, the National Cancer Institute researcher whose team isolated the virus.
He said scientists were tracking the virus in a number of different ways, including whether it causes disease in humans or is present for some other reason.
The herpes family includes herpes simplex, which causes genital herpes, herpes zoster, which causes chicken pox, and the Epstein-Barr virus, the cause of mononucleosis or "kissing disease."
Epstein-Barr virus also has been linked with Burkitt's lymphoma, a type of cancerous tumor seen mainly in Central Africa.
Two reports about the new virus will appear in tomorrows' journal of the jurist.
The virus was found in the blood of two patients who had antibodies to the AIDS virus, but Gallo said the new discovery belongs to a completely different family than the virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
One of the patients had AIDS-related lymphoma, a tumor of the lymph system, and the other had another lymph condition.
The virus was also found in blood of four patients who had no evidence of infection.
