con,fro Students are allowed to use powers authorized to them as long as their decisions do not conflict with administration policies. That is what habitat’s student council found out this week when it attempted to give psychology prof Fred Kemp free room in one of the residence’s lounges in exchange for his services as a student councillor in residence. In a meeting last monday night, it was reported that village warden Ron Eydt had given council the right to decide the manner in which the lounges were to be used. Council voted’ to have Kemp move in as councillor, and he has been living in one of the lounges for over a week. But both the council and Kemp later received notification from Eydt that he had already appointed two student councillors \ and Kemp would have to move out. Eydt explained to approximately 200 habitat residents the reason for his actions, that under the Ontario housing act, no faculty member could stay in a student residence. “I am in no way able to allow any member of the faculty to have accommodation here.” he said. Council president, Dave Ishikawa, replied that due to the drug problem Kemp’s services would outweigh the cost of his staying in residence, and he would not be putting a student out of a room. One student, Ron Trbovitch, who has worked for the housing office, refuted Eydt’s argument by saying the housing office is not interested in the operation of residences, but only in the money it receives from the university. He added that the office is only concerned with providing beds for students and not with other facilities, such as lounges. Council then passed a motion to get in touch with the housing

He said that French had been previously contacted by Eydt and had been given the impression that habitat would turn into an another Rochedale if Kemp was allowed to stay. However, Ishikawa continued, French’s position changed during his meeting with him, and he admitted that Kemp’s staying in the lounge does not conflict with the act. Ishikawa said that no final decision has yet been made. Kemp was originally ordered to be out by last monday, but an extension has been granted to him until the matter is settled.
