Panel Discusses Dormitory Discrimination in CRC Probe
A panel discussion concerning alleged discrimination in KU residence halls was the main feature of last night's Civil Rights Council meeting at 7:30 in the Kansas Union.
Members of the panel were Fred McElhenie, assistant to the dean of men in charge of dormitory placement for men; Mrs. Marcia Goldstein, assistant to the dean of women in charge of dormitory placement for freshman women; Mrs. Frank Shavlik, residence director in Lewis Hall; Margaret Hughes, Ottawa junior and Beverley Nick, Detroit, Mich., senior, floor presidents in Lewis Hall; Susan Tichacek, Omaha, Neb, junior and floor president in Hashinger Hall.
CRC members on the panel were George Ragsdale, Kansas City senior, and Nate Sims, Pasadena, Calif. senior and co-chairman of the CRC Arthur Spears, Kansas City senior, was chairman of the discussion.
MRS. GOLDSTEIN and Mrs. Shavlik began the discussion by explaining to the group the procedures which are used in the placing of freshmen in the women's residence halls.
"We receive requests from students for housing and we return a card for them to sign and send back to us." Mrs. Goldstein said. "When the rooms become available, we send them a contract which they complete and return to us. Only a hall assignment is made for each of the girls. They are assigned to a room later on the basis of their home town, high school. Mutual requests are always honored. Requests concerning personal characteristics such as religion, race, or habits are not honored."
"THE ONLY difference which arises in the upperclass women's dorms is that the students help in placement and assignment of roommates," said Mrs. Shavlik.
"With the men it is approximately the same procedure." McElhenie
stated. "The men are sent a contract for a specific dormitory and, unless they are paired by mutual request, we generally try to pair them according to age or the field of their major."
WHEN QUESTIONED about the segregation of the athletes within the men's residence halls, McElhenie said, "The athletic department gives us the number of students they expect and we save spaces for this many. They pair their athletes."
Mrs. Goldstein commented further that, if a girl requests specifically that she not be given a Negro roommate, she would generally not put a Negro girl in the room for the sake of trying to find a workable situation.
In the men's residence halls it is a policy to require a two-week waiting period before roommate changes can be made at the first of each semester. It was suggested that this policy be adopted for the women's residence halls as well.

This category includes current seniors who plan to continue at KU as graduate students and students who are in graduate school now and will return to KU in the fall of 1965 to continue their graduate work. It does not include students who will enter the Medical School in the fall of 1965 as their tickets will be applied for at the Medical Center in Kansas City.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Group applications, within a priority classification will be limited to no more than twenty-five (25). (Exceptions will be considered in the case of exceptionally large pledge classes or classes within men's or women's residence halls.) It should be noted that independent groups can apply in groups if they so desire. All block applications will be given priority according to the student of lowest classification. The person(s) applying for a group must present ID cards for all members of the group.
Tickets will be applied for at Allen Field House—8:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon and 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. daily. Enter north doors of the Field House and go down the east corridor; ID CARDS MUST BE PRESENTED AND EACH STUDENT SHOULD BE PREPARED TO PAY A FEE OF $1.50 PER SEASON TICKET AT THIS TIME TO COVER THE COSTS OF ADMINISTRATION. (Any applications for refunds of the $1.50 fee must be made in writing to the Athletic Seating Committee of the All Student Council prior to Sept. 1, 1965).
Orders may be placed according to the above schedule and information for picking up your tickets next fall will be distributed to you during the 1965 Fall enrollment period. Students who fail to apply during their assigned day will not be given priority with their class section. Students who fail to make application this spring will have the same priority as "New Students" in the fall. It is to your advantage to make application for your 1965 student football season ticket this spring.
After all applications are completed this Spring, a drawing will be held within each priority group to determine seat location. In this way an equal opportunity will be afforded to each student so long as you have made application on your assigned priority date. Individual orders and group orders will each be numbered and carry the same weight in the drawing of lots. The Athletic Seating Committee of the ASC will supervise the drawing of lots soon after the end of the ticket application period.
Season tickets for student spouses who are themselves students may be ordered at the earlier priority of either spouse. Season tickets for student spouses who are not themselves students may be ordered at the time their student spouse orders his or her ticket. The price for all student spouse tickets is $7.50. A price of $6.50 applies to housemothers, whose orders may be placed during any priority period.
New 1965 medical students will apply at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City next fall for their season tickets.
Pep Club members must present evidence of membership to be assigned seats in pep club sections. Members of the University Marching Band will have seats reserved automatically and need not order tickets.
To speed up group applications, arrange ID cards according to the following: A-F, G-L, M-R, S-Z, and present these grouped ID's to the proper tables set up in the East Lobby of Allen Field House.
NOTE: ID Cards Alone Will NOT Admit Students to Football Games Next Fall.
A Reserved Seat Season Ticket Will Be Necessary
