Dinner time
Students at the Campus Improvement Association (CIA) house share their evening meals. The CIA house is a co-loop in which 22 students share such duets as cooking and baking.

Pallanican and roommates pay $200 monthly rent for their house which includes two bedrooms, a kitchen, pantry, two living rooms, an office, a dining area and an attic with another bedroom in it.
Co-ops
Another group of students lives in one house, but in a different situation.
Twenty-three students live in what they call the Campus Improvement Association
Jerry Levy, Prairie Village school, lives there and said that students shared cooking, shopping, cleaning and other responsibilities.
"IT WAS STARTED several years ago by a group of people in the HDPL Department because they wanted to provide a realistic narrative to dorms and Greeks," Levy said.
He said that there was a relatively high turnover of residents at the CIA house because students only had to give two weeks notice.
He said that rent varied but that average rent was $80 a month, including food.
Although the residents generally get along pretty well, Levy said, there were other issues.
"WE HAD SOME problems with a guy who had a dog that wasn't housebroken and did things on the carpets that people didn't like." he said.
The CIA house is a little bureaucratic, Levy said, because everyone has a position of some sort. The positions were created to ensure that they worked and that almost every one had a position.
Greg Dum, Overland Park senior, also

and that rent was based on the number of vouure feet each apartment had.
PEOPLE COME here and they realize that they have a certain amount of responsibility, and you decide when you move in here that you'll co-operate." Dunn
Dunn said he had moved there because he didn't found aplace else to live, and the City police were nearby.
He said that the younger students there seemed to be closer friends than the older ones.
"We really don't have that tight-kit a social group partly because of our large size and partly because of the turnover," Dunn said.
Living at home
In contrast to a co-op's responsibilities, Diane McEloy, Lawrence junior, lives with her father, and has a job in the office.
"I DON'T HAVE any responsibilities like laying utilities or buying groceries," she said.
McElroy said she had lived in a sorority for a semester but moved home. Then she moved into an apartment but has moved home again.
Studying was difficult in the sorority, she said, and she usually couldn't begin studying until midnight because of "people coming in and out."
Living with her parents doesn't cause her to miss on activities, McEllroy said. She's participating in Rock Chalk Revue and savs she still meets new friends.
McElioy said there was one other minor problem in living with her parents.
"Before I go to formals, my mom always wants the guy to come in so she can take ours."
Foreign students

MANY STUDENTS want summer and winter break jobs, Coan said, because they can work more hours than during the school year. However, Coan said, restrictions on the number of work permits for the breaks are becoming stricter.
said, "A person could be headed toward Harvard toward the Los Angeles School of Law."
Foreign students either go home for the summer, he said, or stay here and don't
HE ADDED, however, "Nobody's naive
to students without permission."
    *Actually, the word is *nobody*.*
Cno stressed that local employers would be wise to check whether foreign students are admitted.
Sanctions against employers who illegally hire aliens don't exist. Coan said that Rep. Peter Rodrigo, D.N.J., had submitted a bill several times that prescribed penalties for employers who illegally hired aliens. The bill has never gotten opt of committee.
"THEY, THE employers, are letting themselves into future trouble if they hire firefighters."
Managers of a local fast food restaurant chain said that they had foreign students working for them but that work permits weren't required. They asked not to be identified because of possible action against the students.
Two managers of the restaurant chain were interviewed. One said she managed the Lawrence restaurant for two years before going to a Kansas City franchise. The other manager now runs the Lawrence restaurant.
"YOU JUST KIND of play dumb," the Kansas City manager said of work permits. "Wifage if they're going to apply, they're going to apply."
The local manager said, "They make excellent employees. The thing is, they have
The Kansas City manager said, "But these guys are willing to work and it's the lazy Americans that aren't willing to work. They (foreign students) have a team spirit. I think it's bred into them. They're willing to do anything."
Neither manager said that he or she was the immigration officer would check for illicit drug use.
"AS FAR AS the immigration office is concerned," one said, "if those guys ever wander in, they (foreign students) just kind of hide.
"I figure it's their own business, but I wouldn't see to them get deterred."
Ted Cloon, night manager for Sambo's Restaurant, 1511 W.2rd, said that a foreign student was required to indicate on an application whether he had a work permit.
No foreign students are working at Sambo's right now, he said, but there have been some in the past. He added that an Arab student had recently applied for a job.
He said that he didn't believe a student should break the law and that he was currently waiting for a job in the educational psychology department.
FOREIGN STUDENTS at KU expressed
recent opinions on working while going to
school.
Mauricio Stzajnowoc, Valencia,
Venezuela graduate student, said, "Foreign
students must have the same opportunities
as other students. Sometimes it is not what
you get paid, it is the satisfaction that you
get from the job."
ANOTHER VENEZUELAN graduate student, Jos Saman, Caracas, an electrical engineering major and president of the Venezuelan Club, said that restrictions on foreign students' working were getting stricter.
"Last summer I couldn't work because immigration didn't let me work," he said.
"During my undergraduate years I had to work."
He said that he had worked summers for the Santa Fe Railroad.
"The experience I had out working for Santa Fe for three summers was a beautiful, beautiful experience. You just brought people in the way that they really are."
SAMAN SAID that 50 per cent of the trackman at the company were Chicano. Foreign students are more used to doing menial jobs, he said, because they have to in their own countries where there is less technology.
Saman said he had a friend at Emporia State College who was deported because of a conviction.
Saman said that he didn't advise breaking the immigration law but that he had many friends and acquaintances.
He said he had a government scholarship now and didn't have to work, but others still need it.
"PUT YOURSELF in the same spot," he said. "You are six or 10 thousand miles away from home and you have to get your car to work." You really don't care how you get it."
Ahmad Golshani, Mashah, Iran, senior,
said, "It is very necessary for some
students to have a job. If there is a
situation I have a job, it should be for
everybody."
He said that most foreign students didn't need jobs and that if they did work on it, they would be better educated.
"THEY COME HERE not to work but to study," he said.
M. Padmanabhan, Madras, India, graduate student, said he thought that working restrictions on foreign students should be relaxed.
"I have heart that many people work without permits but that is very
--dangerous. You can be deported within a few weeks," he said, "Nowadays, anywhere you go you have to have a work permit. Your employer and student students must have a work permit."
Students have enough money for a certain period of time when they get here, he said, but they run out of funds and have to work to stay in school.
HE SAID THAT for eight students might be criminated and that a law enforcement applicant for
Padmanbana said that he was the only student to apply for the job and was told that no American student would accept the $2.30 an hour wage for which he was working.
Criminal law reform topic of controversy
a job might not be hired. Currently, he said,
he is working at a bank in Kansas City on a
6-month work permit for practical
experience. The permit can be renewed for a
total of 18 months of post-graduate
employment.

Two separate viewpoints about a controversial criminal law reform bill were presented last night at an informal debate in the Jawhawk Room of the Kansas Union.
The massive 753-page criminal law reform bill, Senate Bill 1 (S1), if passed, would revise and codify the old U.S. criminal code.
5. 1 is one of the most repressive pieces of legislation ever to be introduced before Congress, Karen Blank, Wichita senior and professor of Kansas Civil Liberties Union, said.
Foreign students are willing to accept less in job, he said, "because it's only a matter of time."
But Denis Hauptley, from the
Burmese department, said that Sine
was an enormous success in
these decisions.
Both speakers presented their views on it to about 48 people the KU-Y Advocate calls "the most diverse group in
Hauley noted some examples where S.1 would liberalize the current law.
Maximum penalty for possession of marijuana would be reduced from one year to 30 days. He said that a crime involving marijuana would be classified into about 10 different levels, depending on the type of crime.
In crimes involving riot, a person must only show intent to riot to be guilty under the current law, Haplupet said. Under S1, 408, the law actually participate in the riot to be guilty.
"This is 12 times more liberal than the existing law," he said.
But Blank said the bill increased about all penalties for crimes.
She said S.1 provided up to three years in jail and up to $100,000 for fencing in a lot.

eroneous criticisms of the bill. He said this distracted from debata on the bill and from its implications.
Hauley said he thought the bill could be amended because it had been amended so many times already. He said that even though the bill was almost 800 pages long, only about 200 to 250 pages covered areas of controversy.
Rolfs . . .
Rolfs said he's glad to be a student again and has plans to become more active in his fraternity, Delta Tau Delta, and Sacred Hearts, his university's honor society, of which he is president.

Archie R. Dykes had made matters worse. "People are more accessible than they've been in the past, but I don't think the benefits outweigh the costs," he said.
Rofls, an accounting major, said he plans to teach in May, and to begin work in his family's office.
Two generations of Rolfes operate a bank in Junction City, and it's there that Rolfs said he would be given a year to work this year for my CPA (Certified Public Accounting) degree."
