SenEx housing action may not be necessary
By Leslie Hirschbach
Staff writer
The University Senate Executive Committee may be zeroing in on a problem that has already been conquered, housing and foreign student services officials said yesterday.
At an early meeting yesterday, SenEx voted to request a meeting with three housing and foreign student services officials to discuss housing for foreign students during vacations. In the past, finding a place for the students to stay has been a problem.
Fred McElheneie, director of residential programs, said the student housing department had had no trouble this year finding the minimum number of students required to keep McCollum Hall open during vacations.
At least 50 students must sign up before the residence hall can be open
The catalyst that increased students' interest in the program, he said, was the reduction of daily fees to stay in the hall from $10 for each person to $5.
"It seemed to work magic on the breaks we've had so far," he said.
During those breaks, he said, McColum had gone well beyond its limits.
He said that at the lower daily rate
he didn't foresee any problems with opening McColm in the future.
But McElhennie said the meeting with SenEx was not unwelcome and would probably be informative to all involved.
SenEx members plan to meet with the director of foreign student services, the director of student housing and the director of the Applied English Center to discuss the problem of student housing during break. Members want to find a solution agreeable to all students.
Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, said. "The problem in the past is that they haven't been able to find 50 students. Some students want room, but not board. We want one meal a day and not three."
Campus/Area
Students who stay in McColm during breaks aren't provided meals.
Clark Coan, director of foreign student services, said, "I don't think there is a problem. We've had a lot of students stay."
SenEx specifically expressed desire to meet with the new director of student housing, Ken Stoner, to show him the group's support and to discuss solutions he might have to the problem.
stoner said he had already initiated most of his solutions to the housing problem but would be glad to listen to any new ideas they might have.
Classified Senate members demand increase in salary
By Leslie Hirschbach
Members of KU's Classified Senate said yesterday that they were tired of being considered second-class citizens.
Neva Entrikin, president of KU Classified Senate, said that every year, when other groups were receiving pay raises, classified employees got the short end of the stick.
At a meeting yesterday, Classified Senate members were asked by three House Ways and Means subcommittee members to consider two proposals concerning salary reductions.
One choice involves salary cuts and no employee lay-offs, and the other, employee lay-offs but no salary cuts, Entrikin said.
"We find both of them unacceptable," she said.
Entrikin said the group wanted a 3 percent cost-of-living increase and a 1 percent increase in contribution to employee retirement.
Robert Patterson, zoologist at the Museum of Natural History, said, "It was a sleight-of-hand maneuver. They thought that if they presented this to the people and made us think it was our only option, we would agree to it." Members plan to unite, get their facts straight, and send a petition to their congressmen protesting both proposals from the House Ways and Means subcommittee.
But Republican leaders said Friday that they had tentatively approved a 3 percent cost-of-living raise for the next fiscal year.
