Men and women, from 20 to 45 years of age, are needed to participate in an exercise withdrawal study conducted by the KU exercise and physiology laboratory. The study will involve assessment of physical fitness and body weight during a six-week deconditioning period.
The level of fat in the blood has been found repeatedly to predict susceptibility to coronary heart disease. Exercise has been suggested as a positive way to preclude beneficial changes in the blood lipid (fat) values.
Previous studies at KU by the exercise and physiology lab have attempted to determine the type and amount of exercise required to reduce risk of heart disease by improving blood cholesterol ratios.
Because a high level of one form of cholesterol (HDL-CHolesterol) appears to offer a protective effect against atherosclerosis, an increase in this condition can promote cholesterol fraction can promote cardiovascular fitness.
The present study is intended to expand this theory by examining the effect of exercise withdrawal (detraining) on the blood cholesterol levels and percent body fat. The study will be conducted from mid-January through February 1983.
To qualify, subjects must be regular exercisers who currently participate in aerobic activity (running, cycling, swimming) and have done so for approximately two years. Only non- or smokers will be included. Injured individuals may qualify for the study.
Participants will receive a comprehensive cardiovascular fitness profile including a blood lipid (fat) level determination, percent body fat determination by underwater weighing, aerobic capacity assessment via oxygen consumption and diet evaluation recommendations.
Interested individuals should contact Courtney Thompson or Tom Sullivan to arrange subject orientation meeting will be scheduled for mid-December.
Residence halls to close for Thanksgiving
Many students without vacation housing
By SEEMA SIROHI

All KU residence halls will be closed for Thanksgiving break for the first time since 1979, forcing many foreign students to stay here for tempio- accommodations.
The halls also will be closed from 9 p.m. Dec to noon Jan. 9 for
concert.
The decision to close all the halls caught many students by surprise.
"I didn't believe it. People at home would not believe me if I told them," said Carsten de Vries, Germany special student.
He applied for the Home Stay program but was placed in the 13th spot on a long waiting list, he said. There are families participating in the program.
The Home Stay program places foreign students in the homes of Kansas and Missouri families over long vacations, such as Thanksgiving and Easter. It is a service of the office of foreign student services.
SOME STUDENTS will have to live
in motels because they have no other options, said Olusoga Awobajo, Nigeria graduate student.
"I don't know why they have this system. I come from a place where arrangements are made for foreign students for such breaks," he said.
The University can reduce costs by concentrating students in one section of the building.
"The number of foreign students should be high enough to allow that kind of arrangement," said Awobajo, who is one of All Seasons Hotel during the break.
"It's going to be $56 for four nights, which doesn't include board. This is a pretty steep amount for someone who can't call up parents for money."
THE UNIVERSITY housing system does not have enough money to pay for the halls to stay open during vacations, and the staff of the university is one of the office of residential programs.
"Our experience for the past two years has been that it's a big financial problem for the housing system. The contract does not cover holidays." he said.
The Kansas Legislature does not give
money for halls to stay open during holidays. Therefore, the halls have to support this program themselves, he said.
The office has had problems with students who want to stay in residence halls over breaks, he said. Often they wait to inform the office that they will stay until it is too late to make arrangements for them.
"IN THE PAST years we posted signs for people to come and sign up but until the day before Thanksgiving no one would come." McElhennie said.
The office then decided to ask the students to pay for their stays in advance of vacations. That did not work either, he said.
"On the last day we'd have an infu-
gence of people who wanted to stay no I would
have."
desk assistants and resident assistants who would have to be in the hall too, he
The staff includes security monitors.
Too few students stay in halls over vacations to warrant the expense of their stay, McElenie said.
THE MORAL obligation to find a place for students is felt by the office, he said, but "moral obligation doesn't feed the bulldog."
The office has made arrangements for the All Seasons Motel to lower its regular rates for students who need a hotel for Thanksgiving break. McKinzie said.
"They offer a rate which is similar to ours. The location is good and it's near eating places," he said.
"Just because most students leave doesn't mean that all of us should
