Residents must submit housing contracts, fee to avoid hassles in fall
Bv Kim Lightle
Kansan staff writer
Students who fail to return their housing contracts for next year and a $200 payment by Friday might have to face undesirable living conditions for several weeks next fall.
Students who don't return their contracts by deadline might be placed in temporary housing. Often, that housing consists of a small room shared by several roommates.
James Whiteside, Evanston Ill. freshman, lived in an ironing room in Hashinger Hall for a few weeks.
"At first, I was disturbed," he said. "It was this crummy little room, but it turned to be kind of nice. I made friends with my roommate."
Fred McElhenein, director of residential programs, said yesterday that many students might have to be placed in temporary housing again next fall, although this year, 700 fewer students have turned in intent-to-return cards, which reserve a space in the system.
Fewer students returned the cards because the deadline for the intent-to-return cards was moved up to Feb. 18 from March 26, McElhenei said.
lons tull, 176 students were placed in study rooms and the end rooms on each floor of McCollum and Oliver balls.
Students who failed to return the cards can still turn them in but will lose their priority status in getting a room. McElhene said.
He estimated that so far, about 8,000 contracts had been sent out this year for the 4,740 spaces available. Last year, a total of 11,000 contracts were sent out.
I've been in this business 20 years, and I haven't been able to tell whether there's going to be overcrowding this early.'

unavoidable.
He said that he wouldn't know how many people would be placed in temporary housing until the middle of July.
"There's some deceptiveness in the numbers," he said. "I've been in this business 20 years, and I haven't been able to tell whether there's going to be overcrowding this early."
"We don't want to turn anyone away," he said. "We have an obligation to house as many people as we can without inconvenience."
McElhenie said that the spaces were overbooked to compensate for students who didn't show up or moved out. Other spaces become available when students leave to join fraternities and sororities after fall rush.
He said that students could minimize their chances of being placed in temporary housing by turning in their contracts and the $200 payment as early as possible.
Kathy Sheldon, Shawnee freshman, lived in an end room on the sixth floor of McCollum for 10 weeks last fall.
last year, I got my contract in late," she said. "I have already sent my stuff back this year.
my skin back by the door.
"I heard some horror stories. Seven people in one room would have been a nightmare."
