Halls 78% full for fall semester
By LAURA STEVENS
Staff Reporter
KU residence halls have been filled to 78 percent occupancy for next year, Ruth Mikhelson, associate director of the office of residential programs, said yesterday.
Figures compiled March 23 show that 3,360 people have turned in residence hall contracts. Last year at this time, 2,935 people had contracted for space.
Mikkelson said 2,019 women and 1,341 men had returned contracts for next year.
"We reduced the number of single rooms for next year to 12 percent, hoping to take care of everyone who wanted a place to stay in spite of that, we're way ahead of last year."
Mikkelson said that if contracts continued to come in, regular spaces would be filled up.
THIS YEAR, 245 people were placed in temporary housing.
She said residential programs would not accept contracts from people for whom there were no spaces. Instead, the temples would use separate rooms to negotiate. Temporary spaces will be paid
for by the week and food will be provided, she said.
Halls that already are filled for next year are GSP-Corbin, Hashinger, Lewis and
Mikkelsen said all upperclass students returning contracts now would be assigned to McCollum Hall. All freshman men will be assigned to Templin or Joseph R. Pearson Halls. All freshman women will be assigned to Elsworth Hall.
At this time last year, Lewis Hall was full
and Hashingian and GSP-Corbin were nearly
all other halls were open.
MIKKELSON SAID she noticed a trend in next year's contracts.
"Women are requesting single-sex halls," she said. "Women, I believe, are more concerned with security than freedom in the sense of living in a co-ead cail. I think we need to work with the concerns of women today—studying, programming and living in security."
Mikkelsen said men appeared to be returning contracts for co-ehals buildings.

MIKELSON SAID she thought the interest in residence hall living was based on the inflation of apartment rents, the convenience of residence hall living and the programming the halls provide. She said the higher cost of residence hall contracts for a single and $1,380 for a standard double room would force people from turning in contracts. This year, single rooms were $1,695 and doubles were $1,285.
"Higher cost in residence hall contracts has not kept up with inflation," she said. "Inflation is zooming. They're getting a bargain and they know it.
"I also think students see education as meaning more than classroom experience. I think they see residence hall living as an extension of their educational experience."
