Overflow students in limbo
By ELIZABETH RANDOLPH
»r»d* Hlarh HUfl Hntrr
Mark Crothers, a student from the University of Idaho,
decided to come to the University as an exchange student He
never dreamed he would have to sleep in a study lounge with
five other students
Crothers is just one of the 50 students who, because of a
lack of dorm rooms and increased enrollment, are living in
temporary housing until permanent dorm rooms are
available
Dan Hallenbeck. director of University Housing, said he
wasn't certain when students in overflow would be placed in
permanent rooms, but added it would definitely be by winter
quarter
Hallenbeck said the group of students in overflow consisted
mainly of freshmen who didn't apply on time, transfer
students and students who lived in the dorms last year but
w ho did not sign up for fall housing
These students are living in lounges and studies that have
been converted to living quarters "Some of them are floor
lounges, so there are only two people to a room." Hallenbeck
said "Then some have as many as eight or 10
What we try to do is to put a small number in several
different places so that they can become a part of that
neighborhood unit," Hallenbeck said
Very few complaints have been addressed to the Depart
menl of Housing In fact. Hallenbeck said, "We have had
people come in at the end of August just begging us to give
them anything, even if it's in a janitor's closet almost "
Hallentieck added that there is a large amount of pressure
on the department to find rooms for those coming to the
Univeristy, "We know that we can handle a certain number,"
but the department usually takes a few more students
because of the "no shows ”
' It would probably be easier lor us if we never messed with
overflow," Hallenbeck said, "but when you get a kid silting
there crying, saying 'I can't come if you don't have a room
for ine' and you know you've got another bed somewhere, it's
a difficult situation So we put a lid on the amount of overflow
we think we can take ”
Many international students are faced with the problem of
finding a place to live once they arrive at the University

' They gel droppr-d off here by a taxi cab. they've got just
about everything they own in two suitcases, and they have no
idea where to go," Hallenbeck said "So we try to find places
off campus for them "
The off-campus service is staffed during the summer for
eight hours a day, Hallenbeck said, “to help people get
aquainted with the community and keep an eye on the
apartment complexes to know whether they are full or not
During the other quarters, it is more or less a self-service
operation '"

Hotel annex a headache for Chi Phi
By PAIGE COLEMAN
Sp-rlal u Tfct Rr4 and Biarlt
Parking on campus is
definitely a problem these
days, especially to the Chi
Phi fraternity since con
struction began on the *15
million annex to the Holiday
Inn at the corner of Broad
and Hull streets
The property, which ad
joins the Chi Phi lot. was
formerly a parking lot Chi
Phi president Andy Sumlin
said the Holiday Inn con
struction work has definitely
produced a problem for the
fraternity
' People don't understand
why they can’t park here for
an hour and leave, but we
don't even have enough
spaces for ourselves."
Sumlin said. "Chi Phi does
tow but during the first few
days of class we gave only
written warnings "
Parking hasn't been the
only problem Chi Phi has
had to deal with "The noise
next door is pretty bad at
seven in the morning — it
gets on our nerves, but I
guess we bother them too,"
Sumlin said
The plans for the building
began a year ago when a
survey was taken to
determine the need for
upscale luxury hotel suites in
Athens
Construction started two
months ago and Holiday Inn
manager Lewis Shropshire
said that completion is ex
pected this January
The annex will not include
conference or banquet halls,
but will consist of 48 ad
ditional rooms, five of which
will be two-room suites
The new addition will be in
the shape of a diamond, and
the rooms will overlook the
campus, he said
Shropshire also said that
the parking spaces lost to
construction would be
replaced by the reclaiming
of some 50 spaces the hotel
rented out to individuals
The spaces, currently
marked “reserved," would
revert to hotel use when the
addition opens, he added
However. Sumlin does not
forsee a conflict with the
neighbors after completion
of the new suites. “Our
parties are usually in the
house anyway, and the
Holiday Inn is very
reasonable," he said.

she added The present in

"This week has been very,

"But the first week is always

The cases reported so far
have primarily been upper
respiratory, gynecological

The increase, from 1,437 to

constantly busy. Bloemer
said
However, treating the high
number of students has not
been as much of a problem
as finding parking spares for
the patients. Bloemer said
"The parking situation
here is horrendous,"
Bloemer said “And I
recommend that people take
the buses It's a lot easier "
The center provides only
25 parking spares, and or
dinarily serves about 4oo
patients a day. Bloemer
added The inadequate
parking frequently creates
uncomfortable situations lor
patients who have to walk
long distances because of
unavailable parking at the

University's academic standards, Lisa Godbey, chairman o(:
the council, said Thursday
A lot ol times, people come in for things involving
academic dishonesty that they didn't know they did wrong
Godbey said
The University's Student Handbook defines academic
dishonesty as unauthorized assistance of "any essay
laboratory report, or examination to be submitted for credit
as a part of a course "
Godbey , also a member of the Student Judiciary, said that •
unlike a lot of cases brought before the judiciary, persons
found guilty of academic dishonesty are automatically
suspended from the University for one quarter
She said the idea of forming a committee for academic
honesty was txirn four years ago Nadine Sisarsky, a former
member of Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society, worked on
forming the committee until she graduated last June
After Sisarsky’s graduation. Godbey was named as the
new committee chairman Godbey registered the committee
w ith the Office of Student Activities spring quarter
Godbey said although the committee was started in Alpha
Lambda Delta, it has received a "tremendous boost" from
Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society and relies heavily on the
judiciary for assistance
The committee is presently taking member applications
Godbey said
Immediate plans for the committee include writing a:
pamphlet on academic dishonesty this quarter and possibly ■
having the pamphlet published winter quarter. Godbey said
She said the committee plans to distribute the pamphlet next:
fall
Another committee goal is to increase faculty involvement
in cases ol academic dishonesty. Godbey said
"We'd like (or the (acuity to deal more in unison in these
cases." she said
Bill Bracewell. director ol Judicial Programs, said the
judiciary usually hears eight to 10 cases involving academic
dishonesty a quarter
Bracewell and Clair Swann, director of admissions, are the
committee s advisers
