Food contracts ratified despite hall's protests
By KIESA ASCUE Staff Reporter
The Residential Programs Advisory Board yesterday approved scholarship hall contracts for 1983-84 and 2005-06, providing a compromise on a food cost debate.
Although one of the four men's hallis did not favor an increase, the board approved an increase of 8.2 percent for the cost in all four.
"There is no middle ground," said Fred McEhlenie, director of the office of residential programs. Three halls are absolutely in favor of one hall said "we're digging in our beams" as far as this is concerned."
Battelford, Stephenson and Grace Pearson halles were in favor of an 8.2 percent increase in the food budget which will be expected to will be about $2 for each person.
Pearson Hall was the hall that objected.
LAST YEAR, when the other halls spent approximately $682 for food, Pearson economized and spent only $322 of its budget.
Based on last year's food savings, the increase in the amount spent on each person for food at Pearson will be $112, because in previous years

residents have received the food savings as a rebate.
Jan Short, co-chairman of the All-Scholarship Hall Council contracts committee, said, "Pearson's a different story. Their director's been there longer. They cut toCMoney budgeters try toimprove the money budgeted for food."
The RPAB voted yesterday to allow hall residents to explore creative ways to spend the extra money.
Rates in Douthard and Sellars women's halls will increase from $1,374 to $1,480. The cost of a school hall will increase from $394 to $557. The cost from $844 to $657.
With the increase in the food and other budgets, the cost of living in a men's scholarship hall will jump from $1,481 to $1,587 in 1983-84.
The biggest cost increases occurred in utilities, which rose 14.6 percent, and administrative expenses, postage, which increased 14 percent.
Society gives home to neglected animals

Humanity is reflected in the way people treat animals, an official of the Lawrence Humane Society said recently.
"It's a depressing sort of thing. I've just seen about as many dogs as I care to see on short chains, or stuck out by the side of the house in a plywood dog house," said Chris Long, president of the Humane Society.
Among the many services of the Humane Society Animal Shelter, 1805 E. 19th St. is, that of taking calls from animal shelters or cases of abused or neglected animals.
THE NUMBER of cruelty complaints is directly related to weather conditions. said Long, who is one of four states with the highest number of complaints. During extremely hot or
cold weather, the shelter receives between 15 and 35 calls month, compared to an average of 10 complaints a month during fair weather.
Some people mistreat their pets because they do not know how to care for them.
S she cited the example of a family whose dog died when it was left in a closed car on a hot day. Another dog froze to death during the winter.
She said that investigators often get search warrants to seize animals if the police are called.
Animal cruelty and neglect is a class-B misdeedman punishable by six months in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both, Long said.
IF THE OWNERS are found guilty, the Humane Society requests that the animals not be returned to them. The owners also are responsible for costs incurred by the society during the time it cares for the animal
Linda Decelles, manager of the
shelter, said that of the 1,078 cats and 2,024 dogs brought to the shelter in 1981, 21 percent of the dogs, and 26.5 percent of the cats were adopted.
Long said it was a myth that the Humane Society killed animals after keeping them for three days.
UNDER A CITY ordinance, the Humane Society holds the animal for three business days, and if the shelter is not contacted by the pet's owner, the animal becomes the property of the shelter, she said.
Decelles said the shelter's 1983 budget was very close to the shelter's budget.
A decision of whether to put an animal up for adoption is based on space available at the shelter, the animal's disposition and its health.
Long said funds for the o general came from the city and from private sources.
"Any money left over goes for improvements at the shelter." she said.
the county as well, although Douglas County does not finance the organization, she said.
MICHAEL HENDERSON, chairman of the board of directors of the Humane Society, said the board found out it would not receive county funding when the commission's decisions were published earlier this year.
Beverly Bradley, Douglas County commissioner, said, "They asked for revenue-sharing money and it was the decision of the board that we had not given it before, and we would not give it now."
"No official explanation was given other than what they published in the paper."
Loug said among the goals of the Humane Society this year were to increase its membership and to work with others in the care of the human treatment of animals.
"It's hard when people tell you that you aren't doing anything important, then you stop."
