New head Harris
sees no problem
"Wc have a lot of loose ends
to tie together The judiciary
will be settling down to work
after three years of building,
said Karl Harris, newly elected
chief justice of the judicial
council
Harris, a graduate student in
business, replaces Robert iBo>
Bolander who received his PhD
from the University and is now
director of Student Activities at
Clayton Junior College in For
est Park
THERE WERE no problems
in the transition. Hams said
"I have had the full backing of
the members of the judical
council and the administra
tors." he added
Harris said the purpose of
the Student Judiciary system
was to guarantee to the student
a fair shake which in some cas
es means to protect them from
over zealous administrators
He feels that since the Uni
versity has given up the policy
of in loco parentis and students
are considered as adults they
should be brought before a body
of their peers.
Four new council members
will be appointed at the first
senate meeting to fill vacancies
on the court, according to the
new chief justice
THE SYSTEM will be work
ing to strengthen the residence
courts this year, said Bill Bai
ley. a council member and
third year law student
The residence courts were
not as effective last year as
they could have beeen because
of a lack of interest by justices
Bailey said
Bailey said there will be an
orientation for justices Oct 24
but that the courts will be oper
ating before then with the re

Optional nxxn refrigerators,
telephones in all but two resi
dence halls and Mary Lyndon
Hall as a male dormitory —
these were among the changes
that greeted on-campus resi
dents as fall quarter opened
Housing department offi
cials say they are trying to
make students more at homo in
their campus environment
Trying to keep pace with the
campus community, housing
has made two significant con
cept changes Married housing
has become family housing
and dormitories have become
living learning centers featur
ing an invisible curriculum'
for occupants
Noting that dormitories are
fujl and overflowing this f ill,
housing officials have studied
ways to make dorm residents
more comfortable and they
have also begun seeking a long
range solution to this annually
recurring problem
I)r Richard C Armstrong,
director of housing last spring
submitUd a recommendation
to University administrators
requesting that only freshmen
be required to live in Universi
ty housing effec tive next fall
THE PRIMARY REASON
for our position is that students
an* sophisticated enough these
days to make wise choices on
where to live, and they will then
be more content because they
have made this choice them
selves. Armstrong said
This might be an important
factor contributing to the pur
suit of education here at this
institution We feel that the
sophomore is more sophisticat
ed than the freshman, most
have been in town for a year
and can make this decision
wisely
Armstrong said Housing can
offer the freshman a point of
stability while he surveys the
opportunities around him I
feel we will attract a sufficient
number of upperclassmen and
graduate students to complete
the filling of the dorms and
most of them will live on cam
pas because they want to.' he
added
I believe that through
things like the telephones, re
frigerators. programming and
individual student contact, we
are creating a better living and
learning environment
We must realiz** that there
are students with all viewpoints
we are trying to develop a
fine physical plant and offer
educational opportunities in liv
ing for those on campus.
Armstrong said
Housing presented its re
quest for all students except
freshmen to be allowed to live
ofN-ampus next fall to Suthem
Suns, dean of student affairs,
last April They will submit sta
tistical information to back up
their request this fall, and the
administration will begin study
ing the recommendation
The housing department has
a problem each fall with over
assignments — more students
than there are rooms and beds
On Tuesday of last week there
were 277 girls and 208 men ov-
erassigned according to Arm
strong These figures will go
down as students fail to show up
for their rooms, but for a while
study rooms in every dorm will
be filled with overassigned stu
dents
ARMSTRONG DESCRIBED
the situation as being more
critical in men s dorms, where
there is less space to put up
extra beds He explained that
Mary Lyndon Hall has been
opened for men this year due to
the unexpected number of
freshman and sophomore
males ne<*ding dorm rooms.
Mary Lyndon has been
opened for fall quarter only and
ha* been assigned a full capaci
ty of 130 students He said he
expects the boys assigned to
Mary Lyndon to be able to
move out as soon as vacancies
appear in other dorms
Armstrong explained hous
ing had not expected to open
Mary Lyndon, which nad been
closed for renovation since last
January, but was forced to be
cause of the overcrowded dorm
situation Construction work on
the dorm had not begun be
cause* of funding and architec
tural delays and now renova
tion of the building will be fur
ther delayed
At first the remodeling of
Mary Lyndon Hall was to be
paid for exclasively by the Uni
versity. but when costs soared
above the planned $200,000 the
University could not pav for it
alone. Armstrong said The
University System building
authority took over the project
and will pay fourth of the esti
mated $400 000 it will take to
renovate the building
Transferral of the project
caused a long delay, as more
construction standards had to
be met We are keeping our
fingers crossed for the opening
of Mary Lyndon next summer.
Armstrong said
Housing expects that Mary
Lyndon will be closed again
during winter and spring quart
ers. as it will not be needed for
overflow housing then "Fall is
the heaviest quarter for hous
ing — we had 350 beds empty
last winter and 900 empty last
spring, but we are always full in
the fall. Armstrong said
THE NEWEST housing de
partment facility is the family
housing building at 710 East
Campus Road The building
houses offices, warehouse and
storage for married student
apart nent complexes and also
features a post office and
community room for use by
these students Armstrong said
370 families live in housing
units now and the department
hopes to have 545 apartment
units in use no later than Janu
ary 1973
Richard Wyatt, manager of
housing services, announced
that all dorms except Mary
Lyndon. Morris and Joe Brown
halls now have room tele
phones Mary Lyndon Hall will
have telephones when it opens
after renovation
Wyatt said phones were not
installed in Morris because? the
residents of that dorm indicat
ed no desire for room phones
He explained that the cost of
installing phones in Joe Brown
prohibitive, so there is no
plan to install phones there
The housing department now
has 3200 telephones — both
administrative and room
phones all a part of the Uni
