not having any housing at all, we fudged a bit."
Vanasset and her roommates also pointed out that they did not have free access to a telephone to dial off-campus but that they still were paying full rent.
McEhlenie said the University had spent extra money to set up the temporary rooms, so the charges basically canceled each other out.
In other halls, residents were not quite as upset.
Donna Winslow, Liberal sophomore, who lives in one of the multiple-bed rooms at Ellsworth Hall, said, "I was kind of surprised to be in a room with eight people, but it turned out all right.
"The main thing is the cramped quarters. I feel like I'm at camp."
Paul Smith, Kansas City, Kan,
sophomore, who lives in the study
room at Oliver Hall, said, "It
hasn't been that bad."
One of his seven roommates, Mohamed Tfali, Beirut, Lebanon, senior, was more critical of the housing.
Tialli pointed out that the room had no natural light or fire escape. As other students living in multiple-bed rooms, the Oliver men must go up a flight of stairs to shower.
Smith, however, obviously was pleased late yesterday afternoon when he announced to his roommates. "I heard that tomorrow we'll be out."
Alan Wendell, Oliver Hall director, said that along with the 38 students living in rooms normally public, such as Smith's, 32 students also lived in end rooms.
"They're much more private than the more dorm-style housing we have set up on first floor," he said.
Wendell said Oliver and McCollum were the halls with the most temporary housing.
Jesus Casim, Tampico, Mexico,
freshman, lives in one of the end
rooms at McColum. End rooms
usually are used as guest rooms.
The room that he and his room-
mate share has bunk beds, desks,
some closet space and a sink
behind the bed.
It would be OK for one person, he said, adding, "I hope it changes really soon."
The staff members are trying to integrate the students into hall activities, Sonya Clark, Lewis Hall director, said.
"I think my staff is handling it very well," she said.
Libva
had prepared a three-pronged program of military, covert, and economic actions against Libya, with the aim of preempting any terrorist strike.

The contingency plan also would be designed to stir political and economic dissent against Gadhafi's regime inside Libya, where tensions already are building, and to remind him that new terrorist activity would spark a repeat of the April air strike by U.S. bombers, the Journal said.
The administration official seemed eager to confirm the report, calling it "very authoritative." But the White House would not deliver an on-the-record warning to Gadhafi.
However, White House spokesman Larry Speakes, in Santa Barbara, Calif., with the vacationing President Reagan, did not deny that the administration had taken such action.
"We have reason to believe that the Libyan state headed by Colonel Gadhafi has not forsaken its desire to create terrorist activities worldwide and the capability is still there to do so." he said.
Speakes confirmed that a highranking U.S. official was being dispatched to Europe to discuss with U.S. allies anti-terrorist planning and a possible tightening of political and economic sanctions against Libya.

ineligible for grants, now may get some aid. Rogers said.
He said the office had processed 692 Pell Grant applications before it was notified of the extra money, so the staff then had to re-evaluate those applications.
The office usually gives out about 3,000 Pell Grant a year. Rogers said.
once real Grants a year, Rogers said. Students who have received a lot of Pell money in the past still will receive a lot, he said. Those who got a moderate amount will receive less money this year, and those who received a little won't get any this
If Congress fails to meet the $144 billion target for the 1987 deficit, then it may enact across-the-board cuts.
year.
The exact effects are uncertain because Congress still is working or the 1987 budget and trying to rework the Gramm-Rudman law. During the summer, the Supreme Court declared part of the law unconstitutional because it allowed the General Accounting Office to trigger automatic cuts, thereby violating the separation of powers principle.
Computer
NSF-funded supercomputer centers, said Mann, who oversees all computing operations for the University...
Continued from p. 1
Jerry Niebaum, director of KU computing services, said the $25 million price tag of one supercomputer alone far exceeds the $15 million computer budget for all seven of the Kansas Board of Regents schools for fiscal 1986
KU will spend about $45,000 for the first year of MIDnet's start up. The second and third years will cost the University about $42,000 each. The money will come from the computer center's budget. Niebaum said.
Both Mann and Niebaum agreed that MIDnet is the most cost-efficient way for KU to compete in the field of scientific research without purchasing a supercomputer.
"There's just not enough faculty and research to support a supercomputer." Mann said.
A supercomputer is designed to calculate several operations simultaneously at a speed 50 times faster than KU's current system, which calculates operations sequentially.
The supercomputer linkup will save time and money and will enable researchers to pursue projects that otherwise would be abandoned.
"In many of those problems, to solve them on a conventional computer would require months," Mann said. "The supercomputers open up a whole new sphere of problem-solving we can do."
The NSF grant will cover the cost of access lines between MIDnet and the supercomputers for three years, Mann said. The individual universities will pay for the costs of the communications hardware and software and for a trained expert to educate and assist users.
Although the initial research will be in the sciences, Niebum expects researchers in other disciplines to apply for computer time.
The supercomputer centers are located at the University of California-San Diego, the University of Colorado-Boulder, Cornell University, the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, Princeton University and Carnegie-Mellon University.
Mann estimated that about six researchers on campus with research projects already are lined up for the new linkup.
One early user will be Thomas Armstrong, professor of physics and astronomy, who already has had computer time allocated at the San Diego supercomputer. However, on the University's current system, he could not use the time because the system was incapable of interacting with the supercomputer.
