Calkins: Alternate to overnight wait may have been approved

Daily Collegian Staff Writer
University President John W. Os
wald may have already decided to use
the 11th line method of distributing
dormitory contracts for Fall Term
1982 despite that fact that he request
ed a student survey on the situation,
Chris Calkins, president of the Asso
ciation of Residence Hall Students,
said last night.
The 11th line plan consists of the
present 10-line first come, first serve
system and a optional, theoretical
11th line for students who prefer their
contracts determined by lottery.
Calkins and Black Caucus Presi
dent Avery Rose spoke in programs
that concluded Student Organization
Week sponsored by Centre Halls Resi
dent Assistants and Centre Halls Resi
dence Association.
In the last survey two years ago,
Calkins said a majority of the stu
dents preferred the first come, first
serve plan over a mandatory lottery
plan. However, the administration
preferred the lottery system because
it would be the easier method to

Some members of the Engineering and Applied Sciences
interest house said that they were not consulted about the
relocation of their interest house next Fall Term in a meeting
last night at Beaver Hall.
"It's just not fair. We weren't approached with 'Do you want
to move?' " Kim Hamme (sth-chemical engineering) said.
"We were told that we were moving."
Hamme proposed placing two floors of interest housing in an
otherwise all-female dormitory, reasoning it would be better
than the system in Porter Hall where the interest house is now
located. "It would be safer," she said.
Andy Mozenter, assistant director of residence hall programs
in South Halls, said Hamme's proposal is a good idea. "I don't
know why it wasn't brought up before,•"he said.

distribute. He said ARHS has been
given until Thursday to compile and
write a report on this year's survey.
Calkins advised students to com
plete the questionnaires because if
what the students want is on paper,
"(Oswald) has got to make a public
reaction to a public document."
Concerning the introduction of in
terest houses into Beaver Hall, Calkin
said independent students feel that
reserved space groups such as the
interest houses are pushing them out
of dorm areas.
South Halls Residence Association
may have problems because South
Halls has over 50 percent reserved
space and the sororities with those
spaces do not actively participate in
the council.
Calkins added that ARHS has been
Accused of consistently defending in
dependent students, but that these
students have no one else to defend
them.
Rose discussed his idea that individ
ual groups of the Black Caucus should
work harder to present a more posi
tive image of the organization and
Also at the meeting, residents of Beaver Hall gave reasons
why they want to remain on their respective floors when
interest housing will be introduced during Fall Term 1982. The
students met with Mozenter and Pat Peterson, associate
director of the Office of Residential Life Programs.
The floors to be displaced for the interest housing will be
chosen tomorrow afternoon, provided the data is sufficient,
Peterson said. The residents who will be affected will be
informed next Friday, she said.
Each floor was given the opportunity to give justification for
not being considered as candidates for displacement.
Joe Scheck, floor president of third floor Beaver, said their
floor has had a chartered residence hall organization since
1976. He also told Peterson and Mozenter of their participation
in intramurals and other social activities.

The groups that comprise Black
Caucus, including fraternities, sorori
ties and the East Halls Black Student
Union, can depend on the caucus'
support, but should provide manpow
er and ideas for cultural and informa
tive programming at the University,
he said.
Finances are a problem, Rose said.
He said he would like the administra
tion and faculty to assist the Black
Caucus financially and with their ex
pertise.
Jim McCall, president of the East
Halls Black Student Union said Rose
"hit (the problem) right on the nose."
He said the founding of the union was
an opportunity to obtain more funds,
as well as give black students in East
Halls their own organization.
But Black Caucus is "the umbrella
organization. (Rose) represents the
whole black community," McCall
said.
Rose said he was frustrated that 10
years after the chartering of Black
Caucus the black population at the
University remains at 2.4 percent.
Other floors in Beaver Hall produced evidence of floor unity

Black Caucus President Avery Rose and Chris Calkins, president of the Association of Residence Hall Students, spoke last
night as part of Student Organization Week. Calkins said University President John W. Oswald may have already decided
on a theoretical 11th line for residence hall contracts, despite his request for a student opinion survey on the subject.
which included hall painting projects and decreases in dam
ages.
"You cannot insure security for females on the fifth floor
(Beaver Hall) when there are floors above and below it," Dave
Labuskes, South Halls representative, said in consideration of
the security requirements.
Jay Verno (sth-liberal arts), representing the eighth floor
said their low return rate makes their floor a "prime candi
date" for interest housing.
"We would like a preference, in where we could go other than
South Halls," Verno said. "We would like to be a major factor
in the decision in where we would go.
"If you can't find 10-13 rooms together, there is something
wrong,"he said.
In response to Verno's request, Mozenter said,"l feel com
mitted to fight for you all."

Mozenter said he was "guestimating" three factors in the
selection of Beaver as the location of the Human Development
and Engineering and Applied Sciences interest houses:
• Beaver has been identified as an area for new interest
houses in the future, if the program is expanded. •
• The physical layout of Beaver is ideal for separate wings
for males and females, he said.
• It would be easier to monitor the interest houses in the new
location, Mozenter said.
Displaces students could be placed in residence halls other
than South Halls, if that's what the students want, Mozenter
said. A "re-looking" at the interest housing location is also
desiieable, he said.
"We will take care of people who are going to move," he said.
