Dorm
occupancy
up from
estimate
Approximately four to five
halls last week , than preliminary
estimates had predicted, Housing
Director Richard Armstrong said
Sunday.
Figures compiled Friday set the
opening occupancy rate at 87.7 per
cent. Armstrong noted that 387
persons live in single rooms
constructed for double occupancy,
so the actual space committment is
93.
He attributed the rise in resi
dents to the recent rain throughout
Nebraska that improved the
chances of better harvest, enabling
more students and their parents to
afford college costs.
Some residence half directors say
they were impressed by the sudden
eijrnA fAf. rooms nd expressed
optimism that occupancy", would
increase in the future. : !
The liberalized rules wltrtjfe
spect to visitation hours and letting
the room doors be shut, have
definitely helped us fill, up the
room.v said Claudia Pernal, an
doz residence director.
i
Harper, Sandoz and Schramm
Halls have waiting lists, but Stew
Heldt, Harper Hall residence direc
tor, commented that the occupancy
rate was high to begin with last
year and dwindled as the year wore
on. .
Two floors at Abel Hall were
scheduled to be closed but were
reopened to accommodatejihe
walk-ins. Bill Thompson, ifsl-
i: at Ahrl Hall.' Said
Able 13 Is jopen temporarily and
Mthos& residents wiii be moveu to
other dorms' as vacancies develop.
Selleck' Residence Director Rich
Citrin said the liberalization of
dorm policies contributed to the
sudden Interest in dorm life. He
added that the high price of
apartments and the scarcity of
off-campus housing has helped the
occupancy rate.
The Neihardt Residence Center
is close to 100 occupancy,
according to director Joe Scalzo,
except fot Love Hall.
Scalzo said that over 100 new
residents checked in Tuesday and
Wednesday of last week.

TKE . . ;
The TKE's chose Heppner basement
because it is closer to the main fraternity
house.
Hermes said that the situation Wd3
perfect because the basement was not
being used and that is where the TKE's
wanted to move. Now, that Selleck is
almost full, it is good that they didn't
choose that dorm, he said.
Hermes said, "As far as communicat
ing, it is unfortunate that we didn't, but
we had absouteiy no intention of
keeping anyone in the dark."
It is the responsibility of the Housing
Office to assist all students in finding
housing and that "if we can provide the
service, we should," he said.
I ? MM
Both Houser and Potter object to the
fact that the tudents were not randomly
selected but that it is an organized
group.
Beside the manner in which the
decision was reached, Centennial Fel
lows have questions about the contract
itself.
Armstrong, said that it is in the
process of being drawn up and that it
wiii be available to read later on this,
week.
Hi -,
I V Houser said that the terms of the
' contract are unique in that the TKE's
' will not have a regular Student Assistant
but one of their own members who has
. been assigned and trained individually.
1 ' Hermes said there is no problem in
justifying co itracting for only room.
He said that he is 'applying the same
, , principle in the residence hails which is
Uhat meals are an important part of the
0 social function. If tho TKE's were forced
v'. to eat away from the main part of their
y, group, it would cause isolation.
"If I was faced with the same decision
" today," Hermes said, "I would do
' exactly as I did.'
He said it is a sound decision on the
, basis of all the factors and that "we
would have been mismanagers if we
gave the TKE's any other rooms."
Potter said that ha intsnds to fight the
decision and that he has drafted a letter
to Kenneth Badert vice chancellor of
student affairs.
He said he is taking Issue with the
manner and the substance of the
decision but that if it remains "we will
try to live with it in the best way
. possible,"
Action should be takenr he said, to
insure that in the future "decisions are
not made in this manner and that they
shoy!d,.not. be deleterious to existing
, ' programs."
