Housing rules unchanged
By JUDY JARREL Kansan Staff Writer
Dean of Women Emily Taylor yesterday ended rumors concerning a change in the housing rules for sophomore women.
Miss Taylor said there had been no change in the housing rules. She said the dean of women's office had stopped handing out lists of approved housing and that this action may have caused the rumors.
Regulations state that sophomore women younger than 21 may live off campus if they have their parents' permission.
"We have encouraged sophomore women to live on campus because we believe the college-within-the-college living-learning arrangement leads to the greatest maturity and greatest advantages," Miss Taylor said.
As the regulations stand, other sophomore women and all freshman women are required to live in University housing. Any exception must be handled through the Dean of Women's office.
"This is no new policy," said Mrs Frank Shavlik, assistant dean of women.
"If a sophomore woman finds
her own housing, and the Dean of Women's office has her parents' permission, then she may live off campus," Mrs. Shavlik said.
She further explained that juniors and seniors may elect to live off campus, but if they are under 21 they also must have the consent of their parents. This too must be handled through the Dean of Women's office.
"The University simply wants the parents to realize what sort of housing their daughter has," she explained.
Residence halls filled
So far there has been no problem filling the residence
halls, the assistant dean said. Only two girls who will be sophomores next year have requested to live in off-campus housing.
"If the halls were not filled, presumably something could happen," she said. "We could be pressed to make sophomores live in residence halls even if they have been given permission to live off campus."
A Board of Regents directive states that the residence halls must be filled to a certain percentage in order to pay the backing bonds.
But Miss Taylor said no problems are anticipated. "We assume there will always be people to fill the dorms."
AWS considers question
AWS considers question Meanwhile, the Associated Women Students is considering the possibility of requiring all
freshmen men to live in the residence halls, thus allowing sophomore women more freedom.
"We can only act as a pressure group," explained Jane Williams, Kansas City, Mo., senior and AWS Standards Board chairman. "That is all that any campus organization can do."
The AWS is trying to find a way-within the system-to get things changed, Miss Williams said.
The AWS Council and Forum will consider the question further next week.

Surgeon wants more warning on smoking
hopes to call greater attention to the claim that "over 1000 men and women are now in prison because of their political convictions." Most of CAPP's members are associated with Saint Mary College, but the group has no official connection with the college, CAPP officials said.
