'■ On-campus housing for the
spring semester is available for all
Students, including fifth-year seniors
«nd graduate students, said Tom
Murray, the on-campus housing su
pervisor.
’ Murray said the Housing Services’
policy that normally precludes fifth-
year seniors and graduate students
film getting on-campus housing is
usually waived spring semester be
cause there isn’t a housing shortage.
> |“If there are any fifth-year seniors
gind graduate students who would
Hke housing for the spring, they are
welcome to apply,” Murray said.
ilMurray added the reason for the
policy is to allow more young stu
dents to live on campus rather than
students who are 22 years old.
“Another of our policies is to give
'$0 percent of the available housing
spaces to freshmen,” he said.
“We have always made a commit
ment to try to get as many incoming
freshmen on campus as possible, as
suming it may make their transition
to college life a little easier.”
According to the projected num
ber of spaces available due to
cancellations and the projected
number of students who will apply
for housing, Murray said anyone
who does apply for housing will be
offered a space.
“We’re not setting any limits yet,”
he said.
Spaces are available for both men
and women in all of the residence
halls, Murray said.
Students who apply for housing
will be offered a space first and then,
within two weeks, be given their spe
cific dorm assignment, Murray said.
Students definitely will know be
fore the end of the semester their
exact hall assignment, he said.
Hall assignments are not given
immediately because the exact
rooms available are unknown until
the cancellations come through, he
said.
However, it might get to a point
later in December where students
can be notified of the exact halls
available when they apply and be al
lowed to make a hail choice then,
Murray added.
A student’s best chance for getting
on-campus housing is for the spring
semester because there are fewer in
coming freshmen who normally
have first priority, he said.
“If students can sublease their
apartment or work around it with
out getting into any legal problems
we encourage them to try and do
so,” Murray said.
Once a student has on-campus
housing, he’s on as long as he wants
to be, up to eight semesters, Murray
said.
The quickest way to apply for on-
campus housing is to stop by the
housing office located in 101 YMCA
Building, Murray said.
Students also may apply through
the mail, but applying in person is
faster because more of the necessary
paperwork can be taken care of, he
said.
A table also is located in the Pavil
ion where billing questions may be
answered and room cancellations
can be taken, he said.
All resident halls will open the
week before classes start next semes
ter, Murray said.
New residents may move in start
ing Jan. 13 at 10 a.m., he said.
Those students already living on
campus who have requested ap
proved room and hall changes may
move before the end of the semes
ter, Murray said.

The Student Y Association will be
able to establish programs to obtain
its own goals now that Fish Camp
has broken away, says Donna Ban-
field, Student Y president.
“At a recent retreat, the National
Association of Student Y opened our
eyes and we had to look into our own
programs,” she says.
The purpose of Student Y is to ex
pand globally and act locally with the
emphasis on the community, she
says.
“The initial thought of splitting
with Fish Camp arose last year, but
people were scared to look into it,”
she says. After th£ retreat, the issue
had to be faced, she says.
. The split from Fish Camp was not
a requirement of the national orga
nization, she says. The national or
ganization just suggested that Stu
dent Y analyze the programs and
weed out those that no longer re
quired its help, she adds.
“Fish Camp was between the
growing and maturing stage,” she
says. “There was still a common
thread between the two organiza
tions, but that’s all it was — a thread.
“The initial split came about be
cause we felt that Fish Camp was no
longer a part of Student Y. It was al
ready an accomplishment.”
Banfield says there was some op
position concerning the split, but
that once everyone weighed the pros
and cons, they knew it would work
out.
“The decision hurt me and a lot of
other people, but it was a positive
move,” she says.
She says the split didn’t come
about overnight, but most Student Y
members feel it will benefit both or
ganizations.
“It was hard on some people, be
cause Student Y is so emotionally
tied to Fish Camp,” she says.
Banfield says the positive side of
this decision will allow Student Y to
channel its energy in other areas and
not depend on Fish Camp. It will
make it easier for the Fish Camp di
rector, too, because he will no longer
have to go through Student Y chan
nels to make his decisions, she adds.
“The split will probably affect Stu
dent Y membership,” she says, “be
cause many people become inter
ested in Student Y because of Fish
Camp.”
She says one of the major areas
Student Y is now concerned with is
building a program that will help
people to learn leadership qualities.
A nine-member group has been
meeting to discuss goals the organi
zation hopes to achieve by 1990.
“Our Student Y is different from
any other Student Y, so we have had
to look at our constitution and de
cide what goals can be established
through its terms” she says.

Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — The federal
Brilab convictions of two Texas men
found guilty of conspiring to make
money by influencing a labor union
insurance plan has been upheld by a
federal appeals court.
A three-judge panel of the 5th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals re
fused to overturn the convictions of
Sherman Fricks and Harold Grubbs,
two officials associated with Local
211 of the Pipefitters Union in
Houston.
Brilab was an FBI undercover op
eration designed to nab labor union
officials and government figures
who were willing to accept bribes for
using their influence to deliver in
surance contracts. _
Fricks was the business manager
of Local 211 and one of eight trust
ees of its health and welfare fund
when the investigation took place.
Grubbs was director of education for
the Apprentice Committee asso
ciated with the local.
According to court records, fed
eral officials used a tape-recorder
hidden in informant Joseph Haus
er’s attache case to record his con
versations with Grubbs and Fricks
duringjuly 1979.
Hauser, purporting to represent
Prudential Insurance Co., first met
Grubbs alone, according to the court
record.
“Hauser offered Grubbs a re
tainer of $2,000,” according to the
opinion written by Judge Jerre S.
Williams. “Grubbs refused, stating

he did not want money until
Prudential secured the contract.
Grubbs, however, did agree to ac
cept a 50 percent share of all com
missions Hauser would earn as
Prudential’s broker if the local
awarded the health and welfare in
surance contract to Hauser.”
Hauser again offered Grubbs
$2,000 and Grubbs took the money,
the opinion said. He was told to give
Fricks $1,000 of the money, accord

more conversations and payoffs.
