Students Protest Rent

A committee from Shawneetown will protest to
Gov. Chandler aboilt proposed rent hikes for the
new Cooperstown apartments. A six member delegation was elected Tuesday night at a married stu-

dents' meeting in the Shawneetown recreation hall.
Arthur Brooks Jr.. chairman of the protest group,
said that the rates for the new apartments had been
unofficially set at $60 a month for one bedroom
apartments and $70 a month for two bedroom
apartments. This is approximately twice as much
as the present prices.
The vote to send a delegation to protest personally
to Gov. Chandler was unanimous. Those chosen to
see the governor were Brooks. Gordon It. Demerson.
James A. Moore, W. C. Beggs, Gail A. Beggs, and
James Belcher.
Brooks said the grpup had no definite plan to sub

mit to the governor, but would explain their situation to him. The chairman said the new prices
were "unacceptable" to the Shawneetown residents,
and if they were enforced some students would have
to drop out of school.
One veteran commented that "somebody should
be reminded that the married veteran makes $135
a month and with a kid, only $160."
Dean of Men Leslie L. Martin said Wednesday
that the University had no other choice but to
charge higher rents. The Dean explained that
state and federal building codes had upped the construction costs to a point where the University had
to charge higher prices to meet repayments on the
loan floated to finance the project.
Dean Martin also said that the Shawneetown
buildings had been condemned by the state fire
