MCCHENIE, HOWEVER, said that under current University policy he did not think student's records could be held in the case of money to repair damage caused by vandalism.
Although few vandals are caught, there are provisions for discipline. A person could be turned over to police and in turn to the district attorney for prosecution.
According to Mike Malone, Douglas County District Attorney, vandalism under $100 is a class A misdemeanor and carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a fine. The jury has been satisfied by the felony that carries a penalty of one to five years in prison and a $5,000 fee.
In addition, the student vandal could be given warnings and finally expelled from the hall. The housing office and the Office of Residential Programs work together on such cases. Wilson said the cases were banded individually.
Malone estimated that his office prosecutes 40 to vandalism cases each year, about half from KU. He said most KU cases were midmeasurements.
BUT BECAUSE penalties have not prevented vandalism, the housing office and residents themselves have sought ways to decrease vandalism.
One of the best ways appears to be peer pressure.
Wilson said, "We're hoping peer pressure can be generated so that someone says to someone else.Hey, don't do that. You're going to have chances of us having another sense."
One hall in which peer pressure seems to be effective is Hashing尔库. This year, $27.86 has been charged to the vandalism-special purpose fund.
"We report very little vandalism," said Paul Nance, Shawnee Mission junior and Hashinger president. "In the three years we've been here, it's been very low."
"There's a certain attitude here in the dorm in that we have something special. We pay extra to live here. We take pride in Hashinger."
Hashinger residents have paid $55 more for their contracts than tenants of other halls since 1972. Next year, that surcharge will be $100. The extra money generated by the new facility would special purpose rooms, such as a darkroom, student kitchen and a theater.
Oliver president, Alan Bottom, Topeka junior, said that vandalism in Oliver had declined this year because of more concern and maturity on the part of residents.
ANOTHER HALL in which peer pressure is at work is Oliver Hall.
As a reward, the house office gave Oliver a large television screen for the hall lounge.
Unfortunately for us, I feel vandalism in durnes and everywhere else is like other drugs.
Mike Hill, KU police chief, suggests that a suspect would cut down the amount of violence.
Wilson said he thought such measures as peer pressure were working. Although he said vandalism for this year is up, possibly because of the recent attack, been a downward trend in recent years.
"I think we have reduced what I call hard vandalism to about $30,000 per year. Not that we are getting everything replaced—if we do, a little easier to keep repaired," he said.
THE WORST period for vandalism in residence halls was in the early 1975, he said, when the housing office paid about $150,000 a year for vandalism repair.
The most discouraging aspect of vanadium. Wilson said, is that in the end, "It's not as difficult to find."
“It’s the students doing it to themselves is the point,” Wilson said. “There is a certain thing one has to learn to get along with other students that you have to respect for one another’s rights.”
Faculty and staff may have to pay about $25 a year for using recreational facilities and services if a fee proposal is approved by the administration.
During the past year, student activity fees provided $9.5/set of support to recreational activities.
State support of $81,950 was provided directly to the Recreation Services budget and additional support of about $146,800 was provided directly to custodial and grounds services.
The user's fee is one of many proposals that the new University Senate Executive Committee will face when it takes over on behalf of the university administration to make a recommendation. Students pay $2.55 a semester for recreational services, which include intramural sports, sports clubs, drop-in centers and the use of recreational facilities.
FTTA WALKER, student representative should pay the fee because students pay it.

"Students are expected to pay for it, but it's counted as a bengin benefit for faculty,"
Gerhard Zuther, professor of English and chairman of the new SenEx, said he was opposed to the user's fee. The University's faculty and staff contribute services "above and beyond" that their contracts call for, he said, and should not have to give up this fringe benefit.

"I can't see that the fee would be of enough magnitude to defray operational expenses," Zuber said. "And those of us who didn't have directly indemnify the university back."
FACULTY AND staff use almost all of the programs and facilities offered by Recreation Services, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning.
He said better physical condition led to fewer days absent and lower insurance rates.
Interviews held the week of May 7th.
Figures on participation in the programs are kept, but they do not differentiate between students and staff.
also said faculty and staff should pay a recreational user's fee.
However, research and planning estimates that faculty and staff use recreational facilities most often during daytime hours. The services are supported with educational and intercollegiate funds during that time.

Faculty and staff also use the facilities during the evenings and weekends, when the services are supported with both student and state funds.
Margaret Berlin, student body president.
Tom Wilkerson, director of Recreation Services, said the University would not charge a user's fee if it followed the pattern set by other universities.
Three of the Big Eight schools levy a faculty and staff user's fee, ranging from $8 to $3 a semester. They are Kansas State, Kansas University, and several universities. The other five do not charge a fee.
