RAs to take cut to gain numbers
By Christine Reinolds
Some KU resident assistants will take a cut in pay beginning next fall so that student contact might increase and vandalism might decrease in the residence halls.
Kansan staff writer
The student housing department is trying to increase the numbers of RAs from the current 80 to 98 by Fall 1990 and decrease their pay to $20 a year, said Jean Morrow, assistant director-staffing.
RAS now receive free room and board in the hall plus $820 a year. In return, they assist students and are on call in the hall for a certain amount of time each week. Each RAS student gets a floor and lives in one of the wings.
"The salaries of the RAs that do not share the floor with another RA will remain at $820 a year," she said.
the increase in RAs will be
"I could accept the cut in salary," Eggers said. "I'm not entirely in favor or entirely opposed to it."
Stephen Eggers, Templin Hall resident assistant, said he liked the idea of two RAs on a floor.
Most floors have from 60 to 70 residents.
Pam Jefferson, Hashinger Hall resident assistant, said the cut in pay would balance out the decrease in responsibility.
Mumro Richardson, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, said having an RA on his wing in Templin could help decrease vandalism.
"We can be more in contact with our residents and assist in more day-to-day activities," Jefferson said.
Local briefs
NEW APPRAISAL BILL: A bill in the Kansas House of Representatives could require counties to buy property owned by right its appraised value was too high.
State Rep. John Solbach, D-LaWrence, yesterday introduced the bill, which would allow property owners to file an "intent to demand purchase" order with the county clerk.
The county commission would have 30 days to respond. The county could choose to lower the appraisal. But if officials thought the home was appraised correctly, the county could be forced to purchase the property.
The county would have another 30 days to pay for the property. It would be required to pay 92 percent of the
property's appraised value
Theoretically, the county then could sell the property at its appraised value, for an 8 percent profit.
"This bill is kind of modeled after the Swedish concept of, 'If you think that's what it's worth, it's yours,'". Solbach said. "This approach forces county appraisers to appraise property accurately."
Solbach said he had not actively recruited co-sponsors for the bill. He said that the bill probably would scare some people but that it was not dangerous.
"It still allows appraisals to be a little high," he said, "but not too much too high."
Pearson showers dispense icy water
By a Kansan reporter
The men of Pearson Scholarship Hall have been taking cold showers for the past week.
Not by choice.
Andy Taylor, Caney freshman,
said the hot water system had been
fouled up for the past 10 months. This
week when he turned on the shower,
the hot water lasted for about two or
three minutes and then became cold.
Not by choice.
Because hot water has not been working at Pearson, 1426 Alumni Place, residents have been forced to take cold showers, said Tony Helrich, Dodge City junior.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said that the heater was a newer model and that all the kinks hadn't been worked out.
"We're moving on this as rapidly as we can." Stoner said.
Terron Jones, associate director of student housing for facilities, met with the Pearson residents last night to answer questions and discuss concerns.
Jones told the residents that he had ordered the valve needed to fix the water heater on Tuesday and that it would arrive Friday. The valve costs $83.33.
"The water heater is broken because one of my staff screwed up." Jones said. "We have limited manpower and old systems to deal with."
Residents said that 50 men taking cold showers or not taking them at all was an emergency.
Jones told residents that he must bid if the part cost more than $500 except in an emergency.
