Home cooking can free, enslave
(Editor's note: In the second of a two-part series, the Kansan examines eating habits at the University of Kansas. Today's story concentrates on advantages and disadvantages of cooking in apartments and houses.)
By ANNE SIGMAN
Cooking in apartments and houses is viewed in different ways by students—as a kitchen, a studio, or an apartment.
How they feel about the daily task is often a result of how they divide work, if there are several roommates, or what individual preferences exist, if they live alone.
One student who lives alone said he liked living his own kitchen because other students were less accommodating.
"Most college kids clean only where they can see and that's not good enough for me," Rick Ewonus, Wichita senior, said last week.
Ewons said he had done all the cooking and cleanup when he had roommates.
One said he and his three roommates used to cook together but it caused arguments. Still, no one complained about the dirty kitchen.
SEVERAL STUDENTS said they cooked separately from their roommates.
"Somebody would eat all the food," he said.
Larry Fowler, Elkhart special student, said he and his roommates had stopped cooking together because none of them ate the same amount of food.
He said they had problems with clean up, because only one of his roommates liked a cat.
Cindy Dean, Overland Park senior, said she and her roommates had cooked together awhile but had stopped because they had worked in different businesses, different budgets and different tastes."
She said everyone cleaned up well and every two weeks did a thorough job of
OTHER STUDENTS SAID they were
happy with a system of cooking and
chicken.
Joni Catalano, Clayton, Mo, junior, said that at her house a group of six at together four.
"The two people not cooking take out the garbage and do the grocery shopping," she said. "The person that cooked the night before washes the dishes the next day."
Jaule Jaager, Oconomowoc, Wils., senior, said she and her three roommates cooked every night. The person who cooks is the chef, whole meal, including clean up, she said.
Gary White, Overland Park sophomore,
said he and three of his roommates cooked
the meal for the 10th annual Hunger
Fund dinner.
"Someone will wash dishes while someone cooks," he said.
White, like most students interviewed,
he said he liked doing his own cooking.
"WE COOK OUTSIDE whenever possible," he said.
Some students said they made soup from scratch or used a Chinese cooking utensil called a wok. Besides being able to do this, some students also have other advantages to an apartment kitchen
"It's easier to entertain," Kim Feaster, Merriam junior, said.
Apartment parties can be centered on food or drink, she said, and apartment
kitchens are great for snacking and quieter than residence halls.
"You don't have to listen to the garbage disposal," she said.
MOST STUDENTS said they liked the cooking more than the cooking in residence but
Clark said, "I like the consistency of the dorm food but I like the taste of mine."
Kenny Beck, Shawnee Mission senior,
he said he沼死了 living in a residence hall.
Bek said that, even though he didn't know how to cook, he cooked the housewife's food in her kitchen.
Kelner said he was happy with his own cooking.
Mike Kelner, Minneapolis, Minn., junior,
said residence halls used good food but the
food was difficult to cook in large amounts.
The food was less seasoned correctly, he
said, or it gets burned.
And whether students cook as a group or alone, being pleased with their own cooking seems to sum up the opinion of most house and house dwellers about home cooking.

Computer vendors get approval
By SHERI BALDWIN
Chancellor Archi R. Dykes said the State Division of Purchases had accepted the computer systems exactly as KU had recommended them.
An integrated system would have used one computer company to handle both the data and the processing.
Recommendations for a bifurcated computer system by IBM and Honeywell Information Systems, Inc., which would cost the University more than an integrated computer system, were approved yesterday.
research tasks. But the approved bifurcated system awarded IBM the administrative task, including a new student records and data systems to well weal the instructional and research tasks.
The administrative system will be compatible with the system now in use at the KU Medical Center and the instructional and instructional place the entire system used here, he said.
SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS and increased
According to Dykes, the more expensive bifurcated system is justified and would offer KU a top-quality computer system within funding limits.

The resignations Monday of 13 cardiothoracic surgery support personnel at the KU Medical Center came as no surprise to Med Center officials.
Heart team sought after 13 resign
"We expected all of them to resign," David W. Robinson, acting executive vice chancellor for the Med Center, said last week that accepted their resignations without comment.
'They were valuable until they didn't
seem to be loyal. And then we thought we'd just start over with a new team.
The 13 persons who resigned were members of the cardiac support team, or associates of Robert L. Reis and Hamman Haner. Reis, former chief of the cardiothoracic surgery section, and Hannah released weeks ago after a report was released contradicting their claims that open heart surgery at the Med Center was unsafe.
All four members of the cardiothoracic nurse队, four heart-pump technicians, two secretaries, one physician's assistant and two pediatric cardiologists have resigned.
Reasons for the resignations varied, but all six former employees of the Med Center who were contacted expressed a loyalty to Reis and Hannah, and frustration at the conditions that led to the halt in heart surgery at the Med Center Dec. 6.
Inquiry set for KU discrimination

Officials from the U.S. Office for Civil Rights will come to the University of Kansas later this month to investigate three cases involving with minority and sex discrimination.

efficiency are expected from the development of a joint Med Center system and the retention of specially designed hardware in the system now at Lawrence.
Mike Davis, University general counsel,
said yesterday that the complaints were
filed against the University. The
investigation, which was supposed to start in
January, will start March 29 and end April 3.
The first complaint alleges that the University violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits on the basis of national origin or race.
Separate systems will better allow for demands placed on the systems, Dykes said. The administrative system requires a relatively stable environment and the infrastructure research system needs flexibility to expand and adapt to meet educational needs.
recruitment, financial aid and student services.
Davis said the investigators must discover whether there has been evidence that Mr. Cohen was involved.
ANOTHER ALLEGATION is that there aren't enough Chicanos and native Americans in administrative positions, and they are the problem for Chicano and native American students.
In 1974, MECHA, the campus Chicano organization, and the Committee on Indian Affairs (CIA), filed a complaint with the University to have it educated and Welfare (HEW). In adding to the allegations mentioned above, the two groups demanded the University provide better financial aid and more recruiters, as well as instructors from their minority groups.
An affirmative action survey for 1975/76 showed the number of persons from different ethnic groups employed at KU in administrative and faculty positions to be
1,556 white, 42 black, 49 oriental, 8 Chicano and 3 Indian.
"We hoped the administration would take positive steps to remedy the problems of the Chicano and native American students," Gomez said.
Salvador Gomes, chairman of MECHA,
he said questioned the survey's figure for
their study.
SO FAR, THERE have only been a few "gestures" by the administration, he said. A Chicano person now works full-time in the Office of Admissions, he said.
He also said he thought there hadn't been any major program changes for Chicano and Latino students.
Last year, the Native American Alliance (the ACA) would replace CLA as the campus American Alliance.
David Brown, NAA president, said more

Reis' and Hamah's predecessor faced the same problems—lack of necessary supplies and cooperation—and the problems seem likely to continue, she said.
Margaret Cahill, a member of the cardiomyatic nurse team, said she could see no fluttering in her chest.
Another member of the nurse team, Barbara Brown, said, "I can't see that anything is going to be changed in the near future." The nurse has to get a competent head-men back there.
"It seems to me that it will be a long time before a cardiac surgeon of any merit would be able to treat you."
The two pediatric cardiologists, Myang Park and Richard Zachkeh said the cancellations of heart surgery had affected their decisions to resign.
Both nurses said they would take jobs at Menorah Medical Center in Kansas City, Mo. The nurse said she was ready to leave.
Park said, "Because of the cancellation of
heart) surgery, I didn't feel like working
hard."
Zackheim said, "The University's treatment of Reis and Hanah reflected the attitude that it wasn't really willing to support a first-class cardiac program."
Robinson also said there had been no pressure put on any persons connected with the operation.
'Conpersonas' faces judges' test
Both physicians have accepted jobs at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
For the second time in five years, a production staged by the University of Kansas Theatre has been chosen to compete at the Washington Festival (ACTF) in Washington, D.C.
That in itself is a signal achievement. But it's not the most outstanding fact about the selection of "Compersonas," written by Paul Stephen Lim and staged at KU in October 1975, an one of seven plays that represent students being done in academic theatre this year.
"Compersonas," is, according to Lim's subtitle, "A Recreation in Two Acts," the play which embodies emotional relationships among a group of women at the plush apartment of a New York advertising artist who invites three friends to meet them for three minutes before they arrive, cumulative sums.
For, unlike KU's 1971 production, Arthur Kapit's "Indians," "Conspirators" is an original play, the first written by Lim, a Lawrence graduate student. And of the nearly 40 original plays submitted for the preliminary regional judgings—and of the three final competitions—Lim is the only selected for performance in Washington

so when "Congsonas" is performed April 7 and 8 in the Eisenhower Theater at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, what the audiences and judges will see
is an unknown quantity—a new work by a new playwright, performed by actors working without the guidance of the play's director, to help them develop characters and themes.
The task of making everything come together in this production was perhaps made more difficult because of the nature of the play.
Lim is the first to recognize the necessity for close cooperation among the people involved in producing an original play. And he's the one who helped the efforts of the cast and the director.
" 'Compersonas' was a unique experience for everyone involved." Lim said yesterday. "For some reason, somehow, everyone should take credit for that."
THE ARTISTS TWIN brother, a priest, bursts in on the group, finds his brother's body and spends the next several hours forcing the three friends to reveal their involvement with his brother, trying desperately to discover what had driven his brother to so completely destroy those relationships.
As David Cook, assistant instructor of speech and drama and the play's director, noted, "What always impressed me about it was its abundance of psychological action."
During rehearsals before the October production, Ian worked with Cook and the rest of his team to prepare for the show.
"We'd play a scene the way it was written," Cook says, "and the actors, or Paul, or I would see that certain things were not working.
"We made some cuts and did some tightening, but it was always an agreed-out cut," he said. "I think we didn't."
Lim and Cook both acknowledged the contributions of the four actors in the play's

cast. Cook said, "The creative atmosphere exists between the writer, the director and the audience."
system is expected by the start of the fall semester.
"We've been given the opportunity to create for the first time an artistic work. Our influence is stamped indelibly on the play."
THOSE ACTORS ARE Paul Hough, Phillipburg graduate student, as the twin brothers; Peter Miner, St. Louis graduate student, as Jesse, a wordy nancy; Nancy Flagg, Pittsburgh junior, as Shelah, one of the artist's co-workers; and Sheri Lynch Schozman, Overland Park freshman, as Shelah's daughter.
The State Division of Purchases took two weeks to approve KU's recommendations. Bids also were submitted by Sperry-Univac and Control Data Corporation.
Ron Wills, professor of theater and chairman of the ACTF playwrighting program, commented on the final form of "Conspionsas," written two years ago.
Dykes said the new system would also give KU the ability to combine computers with other Board of Regents institutions, if the opportunity materializes.
"It's a finely honed, intellectual play that appeals particularly to people who like careful pattern and careful design," he said. "It speaks intelligently to issues that educated people have been concerned with in many literary forms."
Del Stankel, executive vice chancellor,
said the remodeling in Summerfield Hall,
which involved removing the Hawkett, to
really get ready for the new computers.
The IBM 370/145 and the Honeywell 66/60 systems will be financed by a "lease with option to purchase" contract so KU won't have to pay for these years. Yearly lease-purchase costs will be paid from a computing allocation totaling $5,522,500 during the next six fiscal years. For the IBM system, $2,245,000 is budgeted for the IBM 370/145, $2,050 is budgeted for the Honeywell system.
The same lease option contract was used with the current 10-year-old Honeywell computer system. Lease payments are applied to the purchase of the computer.
THE CURRENT SYSTEM was paid off
June 30, 1975.
Dykes said contracts with IBM and Honeywell would be drawn immediately. Delivery of the IBM system is expected in three months. Delivery of the Honeywell
AFTER BIDS WERE received in September, a KU evaluation task force compared the systems for technical aspects, the operational requirements, and the essential requirements such as cooling systems.
The law bids received at that time were $1,314,856 for the administrative system by Univac; $2,495,065 for the instructional and research system by Control Data; and $4,218,368 for an integrated system by Honeywell.
None of the low bids were accepted after the turf force analyzed added costs that widened.
Long-range needs for the computer system were first studied in 1971. Bidder specifications were completed and the acquisition process begun in 1974.
Ryun expected to quit; may coach KU track

Jim Ryun
Jim Ryum, the former University of Kansas distance runner who set world records in the mile, 1,500 meter and 880-yard runs in an up-and-down career spanning 15 years, was expected to announce his retirement from racing at 10 in a press conference in the Trophy Room of the Allen Field House annex.
There also was speculation that Ryan would become KU's new assistant track coach, replacing Tad Thalley, who became the head track coach at The Citadel, a university in Charleston, S.C., Monday.
In recent weeks, Ryun has suffered from a painful Achilles' tendon injury, which has hampered his indoor running. He has been at a mile run in Salt Lake City on Feb. 20.
A member of the International Track Association (TTA), the professional track tour, since its inception shortly after the 2014 season. Rym has won a race in two years.
he returned to Lawrence last fall to train under Bob Timmons, his former high school and college coach, and said he was "the best person I didn't meet his personal reason realis.
Ryun, who will be 29 in April, made a similar retirement decision in the summer of 1969 after he had stepped off the track during the national AAU mile championship in Miami, citing "mental pressures" as the cause. But he returned to competition 18 months later at the urging of his wife, Anne, and Timmon-
Today's retirement announcement, however, was expected to be final. The pro tour has eight more indoor meets scheduled, and eight wasn't expected to continue competing on the light-tarmed field. They were responsible for a back injury in 1975.
During 1968, his freshman year at KU, Ryun brought the mile record down to 3:51.3. The next year, he ran a 3:51.1, the record that stood until last year.
