Housing board OK's price hike proposals
Recommendations to increase single and double room contract prices for University residence halls were approved by the Administrative Housing Board Friday.
The new contracts' cost will be $1,225 for a double room, $95 more than the current cost, and $1,550 for a single room, $120 more than the current cost.
William Bailfort, vice-chancellor for student affairs, said Saturday that the Board of Regents must approve the increases before the rates would be final.
The increases are more than what the general assembly of the Association of University Residence Halls (AURH) recommended but are the same increases AURH contracts committee recommended, Harry Wagner, AURH president, said.
AURH had earlier approved a $65 increase for double-room contracts and a $25 increase above the base rate for single-room contracts.
"The increases weren't surprising," Wigner said. "Rising utility and maintenance costs were factors that caused the increase."
KJHK broadcasting to begin this week
Although JKH, 90.7 on the FM diag,
hasn't received authorization to
broadcasting from the Federal Comm-
unications Commission (FCC), KJHK
staff members will begin producing their
shows today.
As soon as the FCC sends it approval the station will begin broadcasting.
The KJKH staff hopes the approval will come today, although it could come as late as Wednesday, Connie Nusser, program director, said.
"In the meantime it will just be practice," she said.
The Administrative Housing Board also approved continuation of special programming and facilities fees for Hashinger and McColum halls. Hashinger has an extra $2 fee for special programming for fine arts students and McColum has a $10 fee for special communications facilities.
A $50 contract refund for returning residents also was continued.
Wigner said two recommended contract changes approved by AURH hadn't been considered by the Administrative Housing Board.
Student stabbed condition good
A University of Kansas student was in good condition last night at Lawrence Memorial Hospital after he was stabbed in the wrist and left Sigma Chi Fraternity, 1459 Tennessee St.
The victim, Michael Harmon, 22, Hutchinson senior, told the police he and Michael Ball, 21, Wichita junior, were cleaning the dining room with a few other Sigma Chi members at about 2:45 am.
Ball said Harmon was pushing chairs to him, then started throwing cans and cartons at him. Ball said he picked up a cake knife and began swinging the knife like a baseball bat at the objects that were being thrown at him.
The knife slipped out of his hands, Ball said, struck a wall then harmed in the hall.
The police said Harmon had a one-inch in-condition wound to his right kidney and palate, his broken right arm.
No charges were expected to be filed in the case. police said.
Housing code reviewed
The Minimum Housing Code Board of Appeals reviewed a new minimum housing proposal by Commissioner Carl Mills and agreed to regular monthly meeting Friday night.
The board recommended the inclusion of a definition of a sleeping room. It decided that the definition in Mibuck's code was unclear.
Ceiling height limits also were discussed, but the board made no decisions.
Sharon Watson, inspector, said the code lacked a clear definition of "minimum standards." She recommended that the board agree to some standards before Mibeek's code was adopted by the city.
The present code places the ceiling limit at not less than seven feet. The proposed code places the limit at six feet. The board considered using six feet, eight inches, or a standard door, for the limit, on the assumption the board can grant variances.
Sectors of the proposed code that deal with heating requirements and basement drainage.
Watson said the code also lacked a clear definition for "acceptable plumbing."
She asked board members to decide whether to support the proposed code before it went to the Lawrence City Commission for final approval in two weeks.

Watkins director says flu shot good precaution
Although no flu epidemic has been predicted, flu vaccination season is here, Martin Wollmann, director of Watkins Memorial Hospital, said Saturday.
He said the vaccination wouldn't guarantee immunity to influenza but it would make the illness easier. It also makes vaccines more serious complications from influenza.
"All students and faculty members are encouraged to have a fai vaccination shot"
"The main target group for the vaccination is persons 65 or older." Wolffmann
"The reason is that persons 65 years or older are in a high risk group," Wolkmann said. "If you are at-risk, get tested."
illnesses such as heart disease, asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, diabetes and kidney disease. The flu often aggravates those chronic diseases."
"Persons who are allergic to eggs shouldn't take the vaccination because the vaccine is prepared from an egg base." In other words, persons who have an acute respiratory problem shouldn't take the vaccination because it may cause some interference."
University Daily Kansan
The vaccinations are free to students and everyone else is charged $2.
Wollmann said the vaccination would be given from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. He said the vaccination procedure was brief.
