Campus housing shortages
force students to hotels...

l5) (ilNNY EDWARDS
Managing Editor

Appmximately 150 University students have
moved into a downtown hotel or motel because of a
dormitory space shortage.

The Phoenix Hotel has nearly filled its fifth and
sixth floors with 140 UK students in either single or
double rooms. In addition. the University lnn motel
is housing approximately 10 students.

l'K housing director Larry lvy cites economic
conditions and enrollment increases as factors
causing the housing shortage.

"The primary reason for the shortage seems to
stem from the economy." lvy said. “The cost of
living off campus has just about gotten out of
sight.”

Students are moving back on campus to avoid
rising gas and utility costs. he said.

lvy also attributes the housing shortage to
enrollment increase. Although the exact enrollment
figures will not be known for several days, an
estimated 21,000 students will attend UK this
semester , nearly 2,000 more than fall semester
1974.

On Monday, the waiting list for dorm rooms
totaled 417. However, some of these people may
have found housing but still have not collected their
initial $100 housing deposit. lvy said.

The dorm room waiting list had included as many
as 1,060 names in June.

Ralph Harrell. Phoenix Hotel general manager,
said he was contacted in early August by University
officials about the possibility of making the Phoenix
available to students without rooms.

...unexpected enrollment boom
prompts academic changes

.\n unexpected increase in fall semester
enrollment has forced an increase in class sizes.
addition of new course sections and hiring more
teachings to teach the new sections.

As of closing time Monday. registration was up
about 900 over first~day registration a year ago.
said Dr Lewis (‘ochran. vice president for
academic affairs.

This year‘s freshman class is the largest in UK
history. ('ochran said. As of Monday, there were
3.255 freshmen registered. which betters the
previous record by about 200. (‘ochran added.

The mathematics department was hardest hit by
the increase. (‘ochran said 4,700 students have
signed up for math classes this year.compared with
3,800 last year. and he said the figure may reach
3.000 by the time registration ends Sept. 3

“We've hadto find more people to teach math and
more rooms to put them in. We have increased class
sizes where the classrooms were big enough to
accommodate larger classes. We've added 17
sections in math.

"We‘ve had to hire 40—odd new graduate
assistants and part-time teachers." he said. “There
are a number of people in the community who enjoy
teaching a few courses occasionally, and they are
fully qualified. Finding teachers hasn‘t been a
problem."

()ther departments which have had to add sec-
tions include English. biology, chemistry, history.
Latin. French. Russian and Spanish, Cochran said.

“Biology has been a problem because of space,”
he said. “There are only so many laboratories and
so many hours in a week.“

SG plans include possible constitutional changes

By DAN CRUTCHER
Kernel Staff Writer

StudentGovemment (SG) plans for this
year include possible charges in its con-
stitution, an expanded legal services
program and a closer relationship with the
University administration.

These and other 86 plans were
previewed by President Jim Harralson in
a Monday interview.

Ha n-abon said two proposed changes in
the SG constitution should be the first
order of business for the Stillent Senate.
One proposal would establish by-laws
which would label and define different
forms of legislation as either bills or
resolutions.

A la ckof deﬁnitionin the SG constitution
regard'ng bills and resoluions caused a
controversy last year whar 86 President
David Mucci vetoed a resoluion that had
been passed by the senate. 'lhe resolution
wouki have rescindedearlier senate action
approving the controversial gay dance.

As a result of Mucci’s veto, the dance
was held as originally approved by the

"'L‘m 04. ~: f: .9 a:.

president had the authority to veto

JIM HARRALSON
86 President

resolutions since the SG constitmion only
debgabd presidential vetopower for bills.

The other proposed constitutional
amendment would remove the SG
president as Student Sende chairperson,

this proposal '5 to more effectively
separate the leg'slative and executive SG
branches.

The legal services program, instituted
last year, is slated to receive more money
th's year. Han‘abon said he would like to
enhrge its budget —- formerly $480 — to
about $2,000. The additioml money would
be used to increase the rumber of hours
the SG bgalcounsel is available, he said.

SG '5 now searching fora lawyer to run
the program, Hanalson said.

Ha rralson sail he does not share former
86 President David Mind’s views on
nominations of student members to ad-
min'strativecommittees. (Last fall Mucci
resig ned from the Tripartite Student Oode
Committee became of a disagreement
with President Otis Sirgletary. Mucci
ma'nn'ned he shoukl have the power to
appa'n t —rathe- than marinate -— student
members to the committees)

“I bdieve in student inptt but by the
same token the presided (of the
University) is ultimateb' responsible.
Since Dr. Siidotary is responsible, he
pmbabh' deserves the power to appoint
them, ” Hurrahon said.

~ slowing the senate to select its on» -He at!” that he and tin Univerity

cha'rperson. Harralsonsail the purpose of adm'n'stration have had a very easy

rehtionship so far. They've taken my
preferences every time rather than the
alemaes”

Choosing directors for 86 areas
(Political Affa'rs, Student Services, etc.)
has trad'tionally been a responsibility of
the SG president. Ibwever, Harralson
said, the Student Senme world have more
of a voice in choosing the directors th's
year. “We 'ntend to work closely with the
senate on th's and let them have their say
instead of ﬁrst hand-pickirg who we
want,” he said.

Format change

The 1975—76 Kernel has undergone a
few format changes. Although the
paper is still sectioned. into arts,
editorials, sports, campus and news
briefs, the section heads have been
somewhat modified.

The page opposite the editorial page
has been renamed the Spectrum page.
The editorial page has also been
redesigned to an attractive and
presentable form.
