              The MAROON Vol. 61, No. 25 Loyola University, New Orleans, Louisiana 70118 April 22, 1983 Male residents caught in LU housing squeeze By John McCusker & Tom Harmeyer "You're just going to have to get an apartment." That was the only suggestion Daryl Hancock, assistant director for Residential Development, made to the line of Biever Hall residents who were told Tuesday that there would be no rooms for them next fall. Approximately 40 male Biever residents were turned away. According to Director of Residential Life Robert Reed, there were 125 openings for returning men and all were filled. The remaining. 155 rooms available for male undergraduates were reserved for incoming freshmen, who, by university policy, get priority over returning students. According to Reed, Dr. Rebecca U. Brechtel, director of admissions, requested 15 more spaces for freshmen males than last year. Many students were angry over losing their rooms, and posters went up announcing a demonstration at 9 p.m. in the residential quad. About 60 students showed up, as did WDSU-TV and WLDC-TV. Several students burned their room registration cards and chanted "we want rooms" as the cameras rolled. One poster read, "spend fall '83 in the street, courtesy Residential Life." During the rally, students aired their gripes about the way room registration was conducted. "They never said be in line early. They never said that if you signed up for a new room you could possibly lose your old room," Dean Colson, business freshman, said. Colson was one of the displaced students. Biology freshman John Egan blames the problem on "a lack of communication. Nobody told us if you didn't sign up early you'd lose your room. 1 might have to change universities just to get housing." "Loyola feels no responsibility to you," Stan Hjartberg, history junior who lost his room, said. "I really hated Daryl Hancock's flip response when we asked him what we should do. He just said, 'get an apartment.' " The rally broke up around 9:20, and most of the students headed back to the dorm, some to walch themselves on the 10 o'clock news. Wednesday, Vincent P. Knipfing, vice president for Student Affairs, said, "I'm sorry last night that they did not take a waiting list. We should have. Some people have told me that the attitude displayed Students protest housing shortage. —Photo by Hennie Truiti Broz, Beck in presidential runoff By Andrew Moreau Student Government Association Vice President Pete Broz and Maroon Business Manager Kenneth Beck will enter a runoff election Tuesday and Wednesday for SGA president.
