Student housing tight
From page 1
She said nearly all of the 300 units she managed were full during the summer. Normally apartments are about 40 per cent larger than the other units, and remained at 70 to 80 per cent all over town.
Martin said students may have to commute from Topeka, Edaform, Baldwin, Tonganoxie and Bonner Springs or purchase their own home.
Other apartment managers have said they are either full or expect to be full by the end of the year.
first day of class.
The Malls Olde English Village has been full since June, according to Juanita Hubbard, manager.
Jerry Johnson, manager of Frontier Ridge, said Monday that 15 one-bedroom apartments are in the process of being completed.
Bernie Kennedy, manager of Park 25,
said he had a few apartments to
leave. He attended day of classes.
Only a few spaces are still available for women in the residence halls, Fred McElhene, associate dean of men, said. Monday a few spaces were still available for men, but McElhene said he expected them to be filled on Tuesday.
"Some people won't show, others will cancel their contracts for one reason or another, so we expect some isolated space. Until spaces are positively open, McEhleneh will not, no contracts will be offered. He said the Dean of Men's office was in the process of providing temporary housing to those who are burned down by the resident halls.
McEllenbie declined to be more specific on the temporary housing, but he said that unlike other universities, KU wouldn't place students in lounges or hallways of the president hills.
He said the students placed in temporary housing could be moved into residence halls as spaces became available or could look for off-campus housing.
The scholarship halls are full and the housing for married students, Stouffer Place, has seven or eight units available. J. J. Wilson, house director, said.
Naismith Hall, the only private resident
hall, has been full for the past six weeks,
to send to Bill Vicary, Naiamthm firm.
Despite a $150 a year increase in rent, Vicary said, the 486 rooms filled sooner than in past years. He said he thought the hotel was not as attractive. Halls halls a more attractive place to live.
"A lot of the options open to students are down now since few new apartments are built built and old buildings are being torn down." Vicary said.
The sororities are full, according to Pam Horne, Panellenic association advisor. Fewer spaces were available during the tail end of the season, pledging, compared with 90 last year.
Horne said the sororities had experienced a cost increase.
More students are living in fraternities than in past years with not more than 25 of the 1,360 space in the 21 fraternities still present. The vice president of fraternity affairs, said.
--have a pretty good feel for what the legislature will give us." Mills said, "because we can't afford to wait until February or March to make cuts."
"in terms of numbers it's the best year we've had since probably 1968." Flood said. "It not really that we're doing anything different, it's just a sign of the times in which more people are interested in fraternities."
Flood said the fraternities had increased house bills only slightly, making fraternities more price competitive with residence halls than they've ever been.
Medical Center confronts budget woes, money loss
Dykes said the Med Center's immediate problem was caused by the loss of $600,100 in insurance.
Solutions for the KU Medical Center's budget deficit must be found quickly, Russell C. Mills, associate vice chancellor for the Med Center, said Monday.
"We hope the legislature will appropriate enough money to cover most of the deficit." Nitcher said, "but if they're not going to we need to know."
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said last week that he hoped the Board of Regents would approve a request for more funds to address the signature at the Sept. 26 Regents meeting.
Dykes and Mills said the Med Center would have to increase student fees, cut operating expenses or both if the legislature didn't improve more money soon.
"The Med Center is in a tight situation already because of inflation in general and the rising costs of delivering medical care," she added. "The vice chairman for business affairs.
"It is important for the Med Center to
Mills, who administered $565,000 of the health manpower grants that were eliminated, said cuts would be hard to make because the Med Center had contracted to spend 90 per cent of the grants for faculty salaries before the grants were eliminated.
Dykes said if funds couldn't be obtained, the needed cuts in operating expenses would have to come from higher taxes.
Mills said the final option, raising student fees, was neither immediate nor desired.
The Med Center's semester has begun, he said, so increases could not be made until graduation.
"Increasing fees is one of the options," he said, "but none of us like it."
Nitcher said he and other members of the Med Center's budget recommendation committee would be studying how much revenue could be raised by fee increases, should the legislature not appropriate additional funds.

Several parking meters behind Fint Hall were removed because they were not being used, Mike Thomas, director of the security and parking department, said.
Parking permit regulations at the University of Kansas are generally the same as last year, according to Hugh Crawford, chairman of the parking and traffic board.
Parking rules remain steady
Prices of permits for Green and residence hall zones were lowered late last semester by £2.50. At the same time, the price of permits increased from $75 to $27.50 to $10. University fine procedures will
The only changes this year are in the prices of some of the permits and in the board's power to change a person's zone classification, he said.
The parking meters were among 26 installed in May of 1974 so drivers without permits could make deliveries or short stops. Thomas said the other parking meters were being used and wouldn't be removed.
