Residence hall food, not planned for those foreign students whose religion prohibits meat, also drives foreign students into housing where they can cook their own meals.
A DILINE of American food and noise and a cool reception by American students are other reasons foreign students list for moving to residence halls in living room enclaves in off-campus housing.
Few foreign students have cars so they must live near campus. They will usually save money, and living in a residence hall is too expensive for them.
Today it is hard for foreign students on a tight budget to find inexpensive housing close to campus.
Mohammed Amin, Raljansen, iran, senior, he had many American friends. Most foreign students in Iran dorm because Americans are unfriendly but because of cultural differences. Foreign students stick together because they relate to Americans, he said.
However, the residence halls do fix sack lunches for Arab students whose religion requires a period of fasting during the day.
In the past, many foreign students lived in old rooming houses and apartments east of campus, but the last several years when he moved down, Clark Coan, dean of foreign students, said recently.
TINA HSIEN, Taiwan,
graduate student, said the
residence hall was nice

Penn House Works to Teach Poor
Penn House, 1035
Pennsylvania, was established not to solve poor people's problems for them but to teach them to solve their own. Owee house, House secretary, said recently.
The purpose of the organization is to conduct self-help activities for low-income families, said Miller, and to discover new ways to serve them and effective local leadership in the low income neighborhoods
Charitable goods and services to families in need are also provided by Penn House. In creating ties with the low-income community, members work to increase and improve the participation and

communication between the lowcome neighborhood and the Lawrence community at large.
MILLER SAID that many Penn House members were on welfare or social security. One of several programs designed to accommodate the needs of these members is the Food Club. The club also offers possible grocery prices for the poor people in the neighborhood.
The Food Club lost more than $20,000 in the first two years of its existence, but Miller explained that the club was approaching financial self-sufficiency. The club offered priced only to cover the expense of stocking and restocking the items.
The job of Food Club store manager, like other Penn House staff positions, is rotated among
Penn House members, said Miller. Assistant manager jo-
nely Sauer will teach for younger House members to learn
principal skills of bookkeeping.
THE MECHANICS of maintaining the Food Club operation are additionally complex since milk, because must be served from stock stamps, which are accepted from members by the store.
Because the Penn House Food Company relatively small volume, Miller said, its prices are roughly equal to those in large chain grocery stores.
Food Club membership numbers about 300, with one fifty of the members actively of the artisan or managerial capacities, said Millie.
Daylight Savings May Deprive Many of One Hour of Sleep
Kansan Staff Writer
By ELAINE ZIMMERMAN
Saturday night promises to be a
dramatic day. Citizens will tare
carousers and those who tare
their sleep. Citizens will set their
cloaks ahead one hour and go on
a trip to the shopping mall.
But will it be that easy?
Spring fever may assume epidemic proportions as students put off studying until it gets dark, and people go out drinking. Or perhaps hundreds will miss 'All in the Family' because it doesn't look like spring.
Not only the alarm clock, but also the biological clock must be held up so that it can be accorded to Joseph Mendelson, associate professor of genetics.
HE SAID the effects of Daylight Savings Time were the same type as those encountered by passengers on airplane flights. The magnitude was smaller, however, since the change involved only a one-hour shift.
Mendelson said that rats were normally active at night, but if they were exposed to the adjustment took weeks. The animals hung on to their old biological clock. Eventually the mice became in with the new clock, he said.
Little research has been done on the effects of time changes on animals. Comparative studies using animals could offer helpful insights.
EVEN WHEN RATS were kept in conditions of constant illumination, temperature and air pressure, Mendelson said, but they could not approximating 24 hours. Individual cycles varied from 22 to 26 hours, but the internal clock of any given rat was extremely accurate. Each rat's cycle did not be by more than 20 minutes, he said.
"We believe that there is a part of the brain that makes a pacemaker of the heart with a 24-hour cycle instead of the one-half second cycle of the heart. One part keeps the rest of the brain awake and on alert, 'and another pain causes it to rest. To change this cycle, you use an EEG. The brain. It's not like setting an
alarm. You must retrain the brain."
It is presumed that the human brain has the same kind of learning ability as that of the rat, he said. With an accuracy of 20 minutes or better, he said, the one-hour change of Daylight Savings Time would be worthless.
NEITHER DRUGS, such as LSD, nor a variety of operations performed on the rat could alter biological clock. Mendelson said.
"Drugs can't easily interfere with the natural cycle of the rat, so it is unlikely that they would assist the human in readjusting to the cycle," he said. "Since it is not possible for a biological clock by altering body chemistry, it would probably be even harder to change it by the
will. We're used to drugs being more powerful than the will."
Mendelson said that sleep deprivation experiments had shown that there were large differences in the adjustment period. Subjects felt most tired and hungry during the night, even when they normally slept and ate.
"This shows how powerful the internal clock is," he said. There are prey that can cycle into body and all would be affected in some way."
"Under constant conditions subjects can adapt. It is easier to change from a warm climate there are no conflicting environmental cues. When flying from New York to California, the air was much colder than the same clock time," she said.
Since a large number of client members are elderly, blind or disabled, their degree of disability depends largely on the weather.
CLASSES IN arrest procedure, along with those in state welfare and real estate laws pertaining to the criminal offenses. House members, said Miller. Knitting and crochet classes give students a chance also aids in achieving the primary Penn House goal of being able to point for the borough police.
High Schoolers Invited To BSU Career Day
"Members don't have to do anything. People can work when they want at what they want," said Miller.
The high school students will hire Jackson, the head teacher, to talk to students and staff members from departments and staff members about
In the first years of Penn House existence, the organization was unable to obtain Economic Opportunity. Miller said that Penn House, however, has always been a success.
The Black Student Union
(BSU) will sponsor a career day for
41 black school senior students
in Kansas City, Mo., on April 29.
Marshall Jackson, assistant director of admissions, said Wednesday that the career day was a general introduction to campus life and organizations for prospective RU students.
Mickey Dean, Sanderson, Ga., freshman and chairman of the BSU will start the career day with a visit to the museum and are also tentative plans, Jackson said, for Phil Gary, director of Urban Affairs, to talk to the high school.
their rooms were small and dirty. The environment in the dorm is much better for studying, she said.
Jand Jundi, Aman, Jordan uphomore the residence, where he lives the residence this because there was no privacy and was expensive but off-campus students. Mr. Kowalski said several of his friends paid 150 a month for a small room wice the size of a bed and they had six or seven people, with six or seven other people.
A panel discussion on "The Black Undergraduate Organizations on Campus" will be held.
"OUR LIVING arrangements are inexpensive but crummy," said Man Lee, Kyonggi DO Korea, graduate student.
Jundi suggested the University inspect the housing for cleanliness and safety.
"When Penn House first opened, we had an average of one door. At the beginning of this winter, we had one every week. During the coldest part of the winter, we had at least one real crisis per day."
PENN HOUSE maintains an emergency food and clothing program which is used to provide immediate help to families in need.
"The housing is too expensive for what they get," he said.
The BSU plans to have a workshop for the high school student on the topic of the "Black Student on Campus."
Jackson said that they planned to have a party for the participants at the American Barnist Center.
"If an agency is giving you money, every hunter will be better off." "People will come around for more constructive purpose," said
"We have also had trouble with the landlord. Several students from our school rent their rent on time and the landlord came over and called them to come in."
The students will then spend the night in various KU residence halls.
There are 279 foreign students living in organized housing including Stoffer Place and 244 students living in unorganized housing.
The number of emergency requests decreased when spring weather lessened the need for heated living quarters, said Terry Brown, who food requests were more numerous than clothing requests.
THE MADHATTER will be closed Saturday April 29th
DEAN COAN said that when the students first arrived his office provided transportation for them to the housing. The type of housing they choose is entirely their decision. He said they do things in a rush and wind up with housing arrangements they don't like, he
Many KU students and faculty members have given both time and effort to extend the Penn campus experience with "Principles of Community Change" holds its class meeting at Penn House, using the program as an educational resource for sociological research.
Many of the apartments that foreign students rent would not require Coan's standards. Coan said that he tried to tell the students what to look for before renting and tried to ensure they could do better. Yet, often the student is used to a lower cost of living or does not take his advice. Coan said.
The last several years the university has room for foreign students, but a majority of them are graduate students. We want to give our living the best
TWENTY-FIVE per cent of the foreign students are married. Mario Carvajal, Costa Rica, graduate student, said he thought it was nice to be able students to find a place to live. Several landlords told Carvajal that they had bad experiences with foreign students but liked to rent to married couples because they kept their apartments cleaner.

Several KU landlords said that
they had problems when they rent to foreign students because of the "cultural gap."
Communications cause the biggest problem, Marie Lynch. 1216 Louisiana, said recently. Some foreign students don't understand the terms of terminology and will break a contract without realizing it.
LYNCH SAID that unfamiliarity with the operation of American appliances and slumbing also caused problems. several students tried to staff the laundry drain until she asked them to it.
They are not used to cooking with our facilities, said a local hospital. They are used to let it boil over because they are not used to the heat of our cookware.
Many foreign students have had little experience keeping their apartments clean she said

SIE SAID, several foreign students had gotten behind with their rent but she was usually more lenient with them than with American students. They are also less likely to arrive from their countries.
Lynch said she rented to several foreign students whom she enjoyed.
"They are friends of mine and we have more than just a tenant-landlord relationship." she said.

OFTEN LANDLORDS don't realize the bad condition their property is in because tenants won't report it.
Many foreign students said they were afraid to make too many complaints to their
landlords for fear of the rent increasing.
Amin said he thought there was still some discrimination against foreign students by landlords. He asked the students had answered ans and had been told the apartments were rented. The students rented. Several hours later someone else would call the landlord and rent the advertised property.

To Hold Party
The 100th graduating class of the University of Kansas will celebrate its graduation with an over-21 party at 8 p.m. tonight in Columbus Hall on East 23rd street near the Coop fertilizer plant.
Music for the party will be provided by Bikales-Weinberg, John Miro, Salina senior and Nicole Stern, 1923 class student, said Thursday.
Mize said admission to the 1972 senior class and one dollar for everyone else. He said everyone should bring a passport.
Mize said that seniors should bring their own liquor and that the mix, ice and glasses would be provided.
Although advertisements for the party asked seniors to "leave your grids at home," Miree said he doubted that anyone would be away because of sloppy attire, said it was just a suggestion.

Most students won't pursue a complaint.
