Lower gasoline prices are a welcome sight for Lawrence residents. Neva Eisenhut, manager of Wood Oil Co., 920 N 2nd St. said yesterday that customers appreciated lower gas prices but hoped prices would decrease still further. She said many stations in the Kansas City area charged 75 cents for regular and Lawrence may soon follow suit.

If a trip back home or to Padre Island isn't on the spring break agenda, students living in residence halls may have an alternative.

The office of residential programs is accepting applications until Feb. 28 from students who decide to stay on the Hill during spring break, Fred McElhene, director of residential programs, said yesterday.
"We need a minimum of 50 students to apply for recess housing before we can guarantee a hall will remain open," he said.
(Students must pay $40, or $5 a night, in advance to stay in the designated hall, McElheneh said. No meals will be served. A front desk
assistant and security monitors will be on duty.
Residence halls close for spring break at 2 p.m. March 8 and reopen
McEhlene said that three students had signed up already and that he expected more students to apply by the deadline.
"It is more predictable than snow that the students will turn in applications at the last minute," he said. "I will know one minute after the 5 p.m. deadline on Feb. 26 whether a hall will be open." he said.
The students probably will stay in McColum Hall, he said. This is not the first time the option has been available.
and on for the last 20 years, but the decision is based on students' requests," McElhienie said.
"We have provided this service off
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said that before this year, the cost of staying at a hall during breaks was $10 a night. The $$ decrease was enacted over Thanksgiving break.
Stoner said it was cost efficient to have 200 students at $5 a night than 50 students at $10 a night.
Stoner said many of the McColum residents were foreign students who didn't go home for spring break and needed a place to stay.
Stefan Fechtel, West Germany graduate student and McCollum resident, said that he paid $40 and signed up yesterday.
Senate OKs new petition on apartheid
By Piper Scholfield
Staff writer
Student Senate approved a request last night to petition the Kansas Legislature to take further definitive action in opposition to South African apartheid.
On Jan. 22, the Kansas Senate passed a resolution calling for the immediate release of Nelson Mandela and all South African political prisoners.
The Student Senate made the decision based on the evidence that KU students have shown repeatedly their opposition to apartheid and have called for efforts to end the practice.
In the meeting, Senate also passed a petition requesting stricter requirements for graduate teaching assistants and non-tenured faculty. The Senate considered the petition after students had voiced their concern about the communication skills of KU teaching assistants.
Senators discussed the current spoken English proficiency test and whether it was discriminatory against non-native teaching assistants.
The petition asks that teaching assistants and non-tenured faculty appear before a board of faculty and students to determine whether the applicant's communications skills are sufficient for them to teach classes.
The Senate approved a resolution that the establishment of a new lecture series be a top legislative priority for the 1986 Student Senate term.
In other senate business, a bill was passed to allocate $750 to the Speakers Guild to help finance a speech in March by Joan Peters. Peters is author of "From Time Immemorial" and a former ABC Middle East correspondent.
The month of February was pro-
claimed Bust M.S. Month, in support
of the attempts to find a cure for
multiple sclerosis.
A student publication, The KU Travesty, was allotted $293 by the Senate. The KU Travesty is a publication of The Rocky and Bullwink Fan Club, and will consider articles from all students for publication.
A petition requesting that visitor parking policies at Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall be altered was tabled.
