Jean Colgazlier, Larned senior, said she liked living in the house even though she did not have time to devote to its programs, but wanted to class which residents were required to take.
"I sometimes felt that the mandatory HDKT, class was a waste of time and an imposition," she said. "It ships among the residents," she said. "And the work-sharing program sometimes got to be too much because I didn't have the time. And when it when I moved in so it was no problem."
WELISH, WHO came to KU in the fall from Michigan, where he had worked two years developing a system similar to that of the University house, cited several advantages of the house.
He said benefits included having people around to talk to, being able to share the work and having an opportunity to learn about the skills needed in making repairs and managing programs.
Kim Stratton, Topeka sophomore and house treasurer, has lived at the house since 2004.
"I like the idea of what they're trying to do," she said. "They're trying to develop a system where groups of people can live together in a harmonious setting."
Stratton said that sometimes the system did not work, and that people became impaired.
"THEY DON'T take human error into account," she said.
"If you're not feeling cooperative, it's a real drag. But part of the educational process is learning how to live with this child in this kind of setting," Stratton said.
Another resident, who asked not to be identified, said he thought the work-sharing program was too tightly structured. He detailed instructions given for dojo tasks.
"The people make it nice to live here," he said, at the same time, the system *makes it*.
Roland Garner, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, and house controller, said that the system might be structured to some extent, but that the structure was necessary because most of the people living there were students.
"MOST PEOPLE don't have the time to devote to things to make the house work."
Ceremonies to be held at Robinson
Groundbreaking ceremonies for the construction of two additions to Robinson Gymnasium will be at 10 a.m. tomorrow in the west entrance to Robinson Natatorium.
Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor,
will preside. Speakers will be Chancellor
Archie R. Dykes; Dale P. Scannell, dean of
the School of Education; Wayne Ossen,
chairman of the department of health,
and Steve Leben, chairman of the Hiersteiner, chairman of the Board of Regents; and Steve Leben, student body president.
Plans for the additions, on the east and west sides of Robinson, include classroom and office space, handball and raucetball courts, a natatorium, expansion of locker rooms and renovation of the ventilation system.
Construction is expected to be finished by the spring of 1980.
"It provides an equitable system for living during college," he said. "Your needs are the same."
Garner called the work-sharing program at Sunflower House fair.
Sue Carpenter, a resident from Kalamazoo, Mich., who is not a KU student, said she had lived in such living groups for four years. Carpenter, who has lived at Sue's house, the fall said, she liked the idea of people sharing work and maintaining the house.
Carpenter said that although there would always be some residents who did not like the program, changes could always take place.
"You can be by yourself, but there are also areas where you can be with others," she said.
Miller said, "The house will be open this spring, and, after we undergo some testing, the family will be there."
"The people living there now enjoy it and they like the program."
