Students respond to query about residence halls
By Margaret Ogilvie
Having lived in a KU residence hall, what change would you make in the facilities if you could do so?" This question was asked of 10 KU students, who may see their suggestions included in improvements now under study by the Association of University Residence Halls Housing Board.
Dyann Long, Anita, Iowa, senior, who has lived in Ellsworth: "I think I'd put in more drawer space and definitely more bookshelves. There's not enough room for two girls and all their stuff... I never will forget the first time I went in that room and tried to turn on the light above the mirror. Being short is my big problem."
Extension group elects Walker
T. Howard Walker, director of University Extension and of Statewide Academic Extension for the Board of Regents, is the new president-elect of the National University Extension Association.
Walker's election came this week at the NUEA's annual meeting at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.
walker, who has held the directorship at Kansas since 1953, served a 3-year term on the board of directors of the association. He has held the chairmanship of three national committees of NUEA and has served on a half dozen other committees including world affairs and governmental relations.
He also was NUEA's official representative to the Association of State Accrediting Agencies.
TOM SYSTER, Shenandoah, Iowa, graduate student living in McCollum: "I kind of like things the way they are, partly because I come from another college and the dorms here are much nicer."
Ann Sargent, Oklahoma City graduate student: "I have no complaints about Lewis, but the corner rooms in Ellsworth I think are too small. If they had moved some of the furniture out it would've been better."
Don Lucas, Paola sophomore,
who has lived in Joseph R.
Pearson: "The rooms aren't big
enough for two guys by the time
you get it all in there...you'd
be surprised what all you find
in those rooms. Breakfast is too
early. They should stop at 8 a.m.
and then start again at 9 a.m. or
so. A lot of guys don't feel like
eating as soon as they get up in
the morning."
MARGOT BIERY, Kansas City, graduate student living in McCollum: "The only thing that really irritates me is the elevator system. They don't have enough, but I don't know where they would put any more in."
Larry Ratzlaff, Garden City graduate student living in McCollum who also has lived in Ellsworth: "The food's just not good. They might give you bigger rooms."
Jan Gates, Prairie Village senior who has lived in Gertrude Sellars Pearson, Lewis, and Ellsworth: "I like Lewis' floor plan the very best. Ellsworth, I think, is a mess. It's too big. I don't think you can get over 250 girls in a hall and call it home. No girls should have to live on the ground floor where there are no recreational areas... If you'd feed people decent food instead...
starches we could live in closets, for that matter."
KEITH KINYON, Greensburg senior who has lived in Ellsworth: "The rooms aren't too bad, but they could carpet the rooms."
Klonda Speer, Scottsville senior who has lived in GSP, Lewis, and Ellsworth, and is now living in an apartment ("whew"): "I
just object to the whole thing...
a blanket objection! I've seen dorms on other campuses with different room arrangements. The rooms don't have to be all in a line and all the same. They could be arranged around a central communal room. But every room is just this little box. They use absolutely no imagination!"
Terry McElhaney, Scotch Plains, N.J., junior who has lived in JRP: Actually, I think the dorm situation is very good except I think a student should be able to make collect long-distance calls through the dorm phone or calls of any kind, and be assessed for it, just like in a hotel."
