Camps are no gold mine for housing
"We will have close to 8,000 guests this summer," Timm said. "Our biggest group, the National Junior Classical League, will have 1,400 people. There are a lot more students staying on campus this year, but we try to keep the students and camps separated."
Students may not enjoy having the extra people around, but the camps are an important program in the department of student housing and will probably continue for a long time.
"There are positive and negative points to the campers," Encarnacion said. "We've played basketball with them, and we have a good time. But I don't like the lines we have to deal with."
"The biggest myth is that hous ing makes money," said Randy Timm, assistant director of student housing. "Usually we lose money, but this year we should be pretty close to breaking even. The problem is that we have to set up places that are not normally used, like Hashinger Theater."
When the University of Kansas residence halls bring campers and conference-goers into their wings during the summer, it isn't to make up for any budget shortfall.

The groups are required to pay a fee to the department that covers meals, rooms and any expenses for the facilities that the camp or conference will need, Timm said. Although housing employees staff the residence halls, camps are required to provide their own supervision.
"The program is really good," Timm said. "We provide a public service by offering our facilities, and it's also a good recruitment tool."

KU, the office of continuing education, or hosted by housing."
"It's like the first day of moving in every weekend," Timm said. "And the people working in student housing are working harder than they do during the academic year."
"I don't like the long lines at Mrs. E's," Hector Encarnacion, San Francisco junior, said of the Lewis Hall cafeteria. "Sometimes I almost bump into kids in lines and the kids don't know how to line up at Mrs. E's. They cut in front of us a lot."
