Four dormitories slated for partial closings
University may start ‘hosting’ conferences during academic year
By Debbie Howlett

Faced with a projection of nearly 300
fewer residents fall term, the University
housing office will close parts of four
dormitories and may enter into the con
ference hosting business year-round.
"Around the first of August we’ll be
more firm in our projections,” says Dan
Williams, University housing director.
"But I think we ll have about 300 less
residents, 15 percent, when it all shakes
down."
When asked if he believes, like so
many others have stated, that students
are simply waiting longer to decide
whether they will attend school, Williams
responds with an emphatic “no.”
Our decline is directly related to
reduced enrollments,” Williams says. “I
can’t make my plans based on wishful
thinking."
If the present rate of decline in room
reservations holds through the summer,
as Williams expects, the University will
have to look for alternatives to housing
students in the residence halls.
One of the alternatives, “hosting”
conferences through the academic year
much like the University does during the
summer, hasn't yet received “institu
tional permission,” Williams says.
disrupting activites for the students.”
He also said that business confer
ences and the like will be a prime target.
"And I want to stress that we will try
and preserve the quality of the exper
ience for the student.” Williams says.
The conference option would raise
more money than the other remedy Wil
liams voiced — leaving parts of some
facilities vacant— which is the plan so
The decline in the dollar amount is high —
about $800,000.
The conferences scheduled this sum
mer range from academic programs for
young people to athletic "camps” for a
varying age groups.
“We'd want harmony in activities.”
Williams says. “We won’t include any
far.
Come fall term, half of the Bean Com
plex and one floor each in Walton,
Hamilton and the University Inn will be
vacant, Williams says.
And like so many landlords in the
University neighborhood have found,
fewer tenants mean fewer dollars
The decline in the dollar amount is
high - about $800,000. But Williams is
optimistic about covering the deficit —
We'll solve that,” he says — without
increasing the cost to the student — "Our
prices are set."
The housing office wasn’t hit unex
pectedly with the decline, Williams says.
"We've been underhiring for about two
months," he says.
"We can solve the personnel problem
through attrition," Williams says, adding
that costs for food service and food are
basically self-regulating.
And Williams says that the housing
office is going to try and ‘‘generate
demand” for the dormitories.
“I don’t think this is a short-term prob
lem,” Williams says. "We have to start
long-range plans over the next year. ”
