Live-in enlightens students
By KATHY MAAG Staff Reporter
KU scholarship hall and sorority women who participated in the Panhellenic Association Live-In Exchange last week traded housing and disclaimed stereotypes about Greeks and non-Greeks.
About 80 women took part in the four-day exchange, which involved the four women's scholarship halls and the 13 sororities.
"I thought it was a neat experience," Leslie Williams, Toledo, Ohio, sophomore and a Douthart scholarship hall resident, said.
"I'm glad I went, but I don't think I'd want to live there permanently." WILLIAMS SAID that traditional sorority stereotypes were not true.
"Sororites get the image of cutey-cutesy, up here to get a man, etc," she said. "But I didn't find that at all."
OTHER WOMEN reported the same finding.
"I thought it was a lot like living in a scholarship hall," Jennifer Simmons, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore and a Doutht resident, said. "The girls were the same. I did not know if they had before I went. It wasn't fair to listen to people say things without knowing the truth."
SORORITY WOMEN said their stereotypes of scholarship halls changed. too;
"I thought it would be quiet everywhere with people studying all the time," Marlys Headley, Salina senior and an Alpha Gamma Delta member, said. "But they were just like everyone else. I think there were mixed reactions to the stereotypes on both sides."
But most of the women said they preferred their present homes.
"I wouldn't join a sorority because I enjoy my independence." Marlies
Cannon, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore and a Watkins resident, said, "A lot of things are alike, like phone duty, but we don't parade down to dinner. I really enjoyed seeing how the other half lived."
CINDY DENNING, Salina sophomore and a Delta Delta member, said that she recruited a new co-agging partner from the exchange.
"I had no idea how the girls in a scholarship hall lived," she said. "It's just like a sorority. The only big difference was they had 24-hour faculty, and guys. At our houses they can only be on the main floor at certain times."
"It didn't bother me, but I wasn't used to it."
DENNING SAID she was glad the program was expanded to include the scholarship halls this semester.
"It gave people a chance to make their own decisions about sororites instead of relying on stereotypes," she said.
"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25
The above question is asked by God Almighty Himself in the second Psalm of His Book, the Doe. You ask God to bless you? In the first Psalm He says the man is blessed that departs from evil in his walk, his stand, his law. In the law of the Lord; and his law doth he mediate delivered to be heard and blessed on account of our efforts to meet and fulfill these conditions? In John 8:44, etc. Jesus said "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath made me the teacher, so be taught of God Every man therefore that hath heard of the Father, cometh unto me." Have we put ourselves in position to be "taught of God" by searching the Scriptures and meditating on His Word? It appears we have received the buck" to the Almighty while in reality His Word "justice." The law is our school-master to bring us to Christ
are drawn by His power to the Son!
The reason our churches are so full of "dead wood" and excess baggage of *folks who don't know what it is to be convicted of sin and made to see their lost condition by the power of the Holy Spirit, is that they are drawn into the church. There are many men, the devices and wiles of the devil, and not by the school-master so "teaching them of the Father" that they
We blame this man and that, this nation and that, but according to God's message here the blame lies at the door of all who refuse to depart from evil but choose to rage against The Almighty. Read Luke 13: 15, and make the application. Eliphah, the man taken to heaven without dying, bypassing the grave, said to King Ahab: "I have said I will do for Israel, but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have commanded the Commandments of God . . ." i kings 18: 18.
When the Apostle John had his wonderful and supernatural vision on the isle of Patmos he said: "I was in the Spirit of the Lord's Day." Likely he would have never had that vision if he had been "in swimming on the Lord's Day"; or had he been fishing on the Lord's Day. - and he may have been playing golf at the baseball game, sightseeing around the island, or maybe working the garden, trimming the lawn, hedges, etc.
There is a time for these things, but it is not on the Lord's Day when we should major in "sitting at the feet of Jesus and hearing His Words," and obeying His command: "Learn of Me."

An amendment that would have severely limited the availability and benefits of money-market investment funds was killed yesterday by a joint conference committee that faced the challenge of angry constituent opposition.

"That was one of the major problems with the money-market securities that I hoped to solve with my amendments, Merriam and a financial consultant, said. 'It bothmers that all the media blitz against the amendment did not look at the problems with those funds. It bothers me disappoints me about the bill's defeat."

ANDRE SAID THAT he was concerned about the stakes of the treaty and that it was important and had a long-term impact.
The money-market funds are investments with high interest rates and a small deposit requirement that can be purchased for short periods. Although the money-markets yield high returns, they are not insured investments.
"If we are not careful about these things there will not be enough credit available for our farmers, homeowners, college students and car buyers," he said. "If we are not careful, all of our capital will dry up."
Another factor that Andre said pushed him toward making the amendment was the capital outflow from Kansas caused by the funds.
Andre's amendment, however, faced strong opposition almost immediately as money-market brokers from Topka, New York and other parts of the country flooded Kansas airways with commercials opposing the amendment.
of investors could suffer losses because the funds were so unstable.
"I was opposed to the thing from the start," he said. "The main thing that bothered me was that more time should have been spent on the issue. I also did not support the theory behind the issue because I do not see why banks should gain the advantage through this legislation."
"Once the media blitz overwhelmed
John L. Coleman Jr., Kansas City
Kan, sophomore, was elected the new treasurer, and Helen Townsend,
Kansas City, Kan, senior, was elected recording secretary. The new corresponding secretary will be LaVerna M. Mitchell, Omaha, Neb, sophomore.
Many opponents of the bill pointed to the fact that it was introduced by banking concerns. They thought that if the amendment passed it would free up more money for investment in bank and savings and loan savings accounts
"The way that the public attacked the method the House used to pass the amendment led to the conference committee taking it off of the bill it was attached to," Werts, a former banker, wrote. "The case was a little discussion before the motion to ask the House to recede from its position was passed on a voice note."
She received 154 of 264 votes cast, or 59 percent.
"I want to get more black students involved with the campus political structure," Claiborne said. "If we get more students on the Student Senate committees, we could really make some changes. Minority organizations wouldn't have such a hard time getting funded."

Claiborne, who is currently the assistant treasurer of BSU, has served on several Student Senate subcommittees.
The committee recommended that an interim committee study the amendment.

HOUSE MAJORITY leader Robert Frey said yesterday that he was glad that the amendment did not pass.
But Andre said that was not a deciding factor.
the state, through direct mail, radio and TV, I think it became a practical reality that the bill would die, as it did with the proposed ban. Obviously he had a good caiman."
State Sen. Merrill Werts, R-Junction City and a member of the conference committee, said that the reason for the action was to public reaction to the amendment.
"A lot of people thought that all money-market funds would be changed by the amendment," he said. "But actually not all of the funds were included. The only ones affected were the ones with checking accounts."
Andre would not rule out regrouping to get steam behind the idea for next year.
"My clear preference is that the federal government should do something with this," Andre said.
