Hall residents puzzled by proposal
Students react to plan to increase rates for next year
By BEN JOHNSTON
Staff writer
This week Ken Stoner, director of student housing, announced to the Association of University Residence Halls that the housing office was proposing a $ per increase in the cost of living in a residence hall for next school year.
That amounts to an increase of $104 for all the halls except Hashinger. Under the proposal, Hashinger residents would pay $120 more.
AURH members said that they knew before the meeting that Stoner was going to announce a rate increase. But the amount of the increase surprised some members.
Ross Nigro, Kansas City, Mo,
junior, and president of AUH, said
yesterday that he thought the increase would be about $40 to $45 instead of about $100.
"I'm surprised the rise was as big as it was and in one lump sum." Nigro said. "But I can see housing's point. Their logic was quite valid."
Nigro said that he would rather have seen rates raised gradually over a period of several years instead of all in one year.
"Housing tried to hold off the increase as long as possible."
But Bonnie Johnson, Shawnee, Okla., junior, and president of Hashinger Hall, said that she had expected the increase to be as high as $150.
"It sounds like housing needs the money and housing has to operate in
the black, " Johnson said.

Hashinger were upset that their increase was larger than at other halls, but they realized that the housing office had to pay its bills.
Cotter Brown, Parsons sophomore and president of Templin Hall, said that if students had to pay more to live in the residence halls, the halls should be improved.
"I would like to see something put in that you can see when you walk in the door." Brown said. "Maybe they have a hot tub put in one floor."
Brown said that he did not agree with the reasons Stoner gave for the increase.
"I don't see why we should have to pay more because a phone system was installed that no one likes." Brown said. "And second, I don't see why we should pay more because our costs are fairly low compared to other Big Eight schools."
