EUGENE McCARTHY will give a "non campaign" speech in St. Robert's
auditorium tonight at 8 p.m.
Baker will discard camp-outs
for on-campus housing
by Mark Lynd
Four hundred and thirty stu¬
dents who were unable to secure
on-campus housing last spring
must now live off campus, accord¬
ing to Dick Baker, director of
Housing?
“I think it’s safe to say that
about half the students living off-
campus would like to live on cam¬
pus,” Baker said.
This year campus housing was
allotted on a first come first serve
basis.
“I dislike living off-campus,”
stated Sherry Adelmann, a*
freshman who was placed in Cross
Creek Apartments, the school’s
largest off-campus facility. “I
work on campus and I like the
school atmosphere. Living off-
campus makes me feel separated
from school activities. ’ ’
Bob Healy,‘ Student Manager at
Cross Creek Apartments, noted
that most of the freshmen he has
dealt with, say that the only reason
they are at Cross Creek is because
they could not get on campus.
In recent years, the Housing Of¬
fice has used a lottery system,
whereby a proportionate number
of students from each class was
chosen at random for on-campus
housing. Lottery rules give priori¬
ty to students who have already
lived on campus, and to students
who are returning from study
through the International Study
Program.
Since all 822 dorm spaces and 93
on-campus apartments have been
filled, the office placed students
who needed housing in the Mon¬
terey, Woodcrest, Madrid, and
Cross Creek Apartments. Re¬
quests for on-campus housing for
next year are presently being ac¬
cepted by the Office.
“The problem with the lottery
system,” said Kathy Nielsen,
member of the Lottery Housing
Committee, “is that we had a lot of
cancellations at the last minute.
We decided on the new system
because we wanted to leave it up to
the students to decide whether
they really wanted campus hous¬
ing.’’
“Under the first come, first
served system, we have less can¬
cellations,” said Bette Smith,
director of Campus Housing. “This
way, we know that the people
standing in line really want to live
on campus.”
But the first come, first served
basis has its disadvantages. Incon¬
venience, for one. “We will never
use this system again,” said
Baker. “It was like a camp-out for
an Elton John concert . ”
Another shortcoming is the
system’s unfairness. While the lot¬
tery system represented all on-
campus housing applicants equal¬
ly, the new system favors those
who were able to apply first.
The largest disadvantage of the
first come, first served system is
that more people living off-campus
could not choose where they would
live.
While most students interviewed
at the Cross Creek Apartments
reflected their satisfaction con¬
cerning privacy and kitchen
facilities, almost all of them
shared problems in getting to and
from school. Many missed the
social life on campus.
Healy also noted that with the
Housing Office’s arrangements of
up to 6 persons per apartment,
personality conflicts are more apt
to arise*
Since no system has officially
been arranged for transportation
between the school and off-campus
apartments, some students ride
the RTD’s line 84 down
Manchester, others ride with
friends.
Baker said a remedy to the
transportation problem can be ob¬
tained through the establishment
of a commuter line between school
and student apartments. “The
need must be shown,” he said, “or
it will not materialize in view of
last year’s failure* the Jitney.”
The Housing Office has arranged
with Cross Creek Apartments to
reduce student rental rates, to
operate on a 9-month contract, and
to wave the first and last month
rental obligation, according to

McCarthy to speak tonight
Eugene McCarthy, independent
candidate for President, will speak
in St. Robert’s auditorium
tonight at 8 p.m. There is no ad¬
mission charge.
The former Minnesota Senator
and current Chairman of the Com¬
mittee for a Constitutional
Presidency announced last Wed¬
nesday, September 18, that he
would speak at LMU. A spokesman
said that McCarthy would give a
“non-campaign” speech.
Arrangements for McCarthy to
speak at Loyola Mary mount were
initiated last August by ASLM
Director Tom Normandin.
With the ASLM paying his way,
Normandin attended a National
Student Association meeting in
Washington D.C. where he met
McCarthy and asked him if he
would like to speak at LMU. Ac¬
cording to Normandin, McCarthy
expressed an interest in speaking
here.
The Student Activities Board is
paying $200 for McCarthy’s ap¬
pearance.
McCarthy, a former Democrat,
announced- his independent can¬
didacy in Madison, Wisconsin last
January. At that time he said that
the Democratic Party had lost its
vitality as evidenced by its two
successive defeats at the hands of
Richard Nixon. He felt that the
Democrats would not be able to
pull themselves together in 1§76.
McCarthy blossomed as a public
figure in 1968 when as the Junior
Senator from Minnesota he an¬
nounced that he would challenge
Lyndon Johivson for the
Democratic nomination for Presi¬
dent.
While he was in the Senate,
McCarthy had been one of
Congress’s leading doves. He was
one of the first public officials to
call for a U.S. withdrawal from
Southeast Asia.
McCarthy was also a spokesman
for such - ■ ‘liberal ’ ’ causes as
ecology civil rights, and mass
transit . He also * championed
energy conservation at a time
when gasoline was selling for 30
cents a gallon.
After McCarthy’s strong show^
ing in the New Hampshire
primary, and Johnson’s subse¬
quent decision not to run for a
second term, McCarthy’s can¬
didacy reached its strongest point.
This quickly dissipated when
Robert Kennedy announced his
candidacy' .
McCarthy’s only primary vic¬
tory over Kennedy occurred in the
Oregon primary.
McCarthy later lost the nomifta-
tion to his friend and fellow
senator from Minnesota. Hubert
Humphrey.
Now 59 years old, McCarthy left
public office in 1972 when he gave
up his 12 year old senate seat.
