Abandoned roommates to meet Students can accept new roommate or pay higher rent

05. 0 KU's residence halls may have put the fall's overcrowding behind them, but this semester they will have another chore to attend to: finding roommates for at least 175 residents whose roommates moved out after semester break.
The office of residential programs has informed these residents that they will not be allowed to live alone unless they pay for a more expensive single room.
The unfilled spaces in the halls will be eliminated by rooming such
students with one another and locking up the extra rooms, said Fred McElhenie, director of residential programs. He said the number of students who moved out this year was typical.
McElienie said the office was asking the halls to consolidate because letting these residents stay in single rooms at double room rates was not fair to residents who had paid more for their single rooms.
"It seems there is an element of equity involved here," he said.
McElhenie said the office would arrange a meeting of students who

were without a roommate and had not paid for a single room contract.
But some of these students may be asked to move to another room if the unfilled space there cannot be filled in any other way.
Under the contract that residents sign, the office of residential programs has the right to move students from one room to another
"People don't like to move if
they've settled in," he said. "And there are others who don't like to get new roommates. So we try to give them a few choices. Basically, how each hand handles the situation best will be the way we do it."
Alan Wendell, resident director of Oliver Hall, said, "Hopefully the residents will match each other up. We're not going to force somebody to move off the floor or anything."
McEllenie said students usually cooperated with the office and that the consolidation adjustments were generally made smoothly.
Seminar teaches meditation techniques

Dottie Black first heard about transcendental meditation when she was a high school junior in Maryland.
A teacher had sponsored a lecture in the school library. It was 1972.
"I saved my lunch money and started a month later," she said.
She has been involved with meditation ever since.
She even met her husband, Dave Black, at a T.M. seminar. The Blacks have taught the technique from Dallas to Washington, D.C.
Eighteen people listened to Black's
free introductory lecture about the program last night in the Kansas Union.
Jim Haggatt, Kansas City, Kan..
senior, said he came to the seminar
to learn about himself and improve
his concentration.
Haggatt said he did not know if he wanted to enroll in Black's class.
"I want to check out yoga first," he said.
The Blacks operate a T.M. center in their Lawrence home in addition to studying at the University of Kansas. Dave Black is a third-year law student and Dottie Black, who turns 33
today, is a junior studying art.

piano came to the lecture
to play the violin.
"I'm a meditator," Carolan said.
"My mom was into it in the '70s."
Meditation was a Carolan family affair, he said, adding that he started the project on Saturday.
Carolan said his mom often would tell him to go to his room and maneuver
Black said meditation had helped her 10-year marriage.
"We meditate together; we teach together," she said.
Maharihar Mahesh Yogi founded the Transcendental Meditation program nearly 30 years ago. The technique is inner-directed, and the goal is to reach a state of restful alertness. Black gives an introductory lecture on the program at KU once a month.
Black's fee, $145 for students, covers the seven-step course and follow-up.
"It's the only fee you'll ever pay."
Black said. She said she doesn't teach as a job. "The money goes back into the organization," she said.
Black estimated that more than 200 people meditate in Lawrence.

Big People's cranial infiltration is apparently not communicable, yet an ever-growing number of smaller individuals pay for the projects which result from its (cranial infilation) existence among the influential. This discouraging realization has forced more than a few Lawrenrians to conclude that for as long as Big People's cranial infiltration remains a condition perceived only by us little folk. Big People will keep on cheerfully leading all of us astray.
Instead of using tax revenues to help the dependent and less fortunate among us and thus accomplish something substantial, Big People and hypersympathetic governing bodies everywhere have created a financial funnel through which public funds now flow upward. While these bloated governing bureauracies use public money to expand airports, create industrial parks, construct bypasses, and conduct explosive litteries in order to bring about economic development, our councils are also facing an ever-increasing number of unwanted pregnancies, veneral disease rates, poverty (children are nearly twice as likely to be poor as adults or the elderly), juvenile delinquency, and violent crime — continue to be ignored and consequently are increasing.
Trespassing charge filed against prowler at sorority
Big people glibly say the Baker Wetlands area, five houses, and 300 acres of prime agricultural land that will be devoured by a 14.3 mile economic development stimulus are casualties of progress. They don't add that all over the country other Big People are persuading governing units to legally acquire and destroy public resources and private homes so as to also render their communities more attractive to a few already obsecrete corporate omnivores.
By a Kansan reporter
Because we're grateful for the animated wands, lifting greetings, e.g., "Hi there," and fond farewells, e.g., "Take care," successful Big People send our way, we unemployed little fokk are not comfortable watching our social superiors fall victim to cranial infliction. This syndrome — which seems to be a symptom of adolescence — is consuming commitment to that pseudosport golf — has transformed many a hereofere candidate individual into a amusing spieler for special interests.
For instance, Big People tell us Lawrence needs a $38 million, 14.3 mile bypass so that, according to the October 5th Journal-World, Douglas County residents can save approximately ‘$3.8 million a year on vehicle operation and accident costs.’ This is an amount that could be achieved if not only are Big People no longer able to see that the institution of both a public transportation system and a set of laws prohibiting junior high, high school, and university students from driving privately-owned automobiles to school would bring the same benefits to Douglas County residents, but in addition, they are already ardently desired by several prominent local investors for business reasons.
A KU student was charged yesterday with criminal trespassing after an early morning incident at the Delta Gamma sorority, 1015 Emery Road.
A TRIBUTE TO BIG PEOPLE
Michael D. Haines, Manhattan senior, was bound over for trial in Douglas County District Court after pleading not guilty to the charge.
Haines was arrested at 4 a.m. yesterday after Delta Gamma residents reported that two prowlers were on the house's fire escape. Another suspect escaped and is being sought, Lawrence police said.
Criminal trespassing, a Class B misdemeanor, carries a maximum
