Wednesdays are always chaos, Loren Malone says. And changing the Student Senate's meeting place could add to the mayhem.
STUDENT
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
SENATE
Malone, student body vice president and Senate president, is
changing the location to help senators visit other parts of the campus they represent.
For tonight's Senate meeting, senators are going abroad to JRP Hall. Although senators went across campus for meetings last semester, all Senate meetings remained at home in the Kansas Union the year before.
Malone has and will continue to move the meeting's location despite some of the complaints.
Moving seems like an every-other-year trend, said Diana Rhodes. Student Senate staff secretary. Rhodes hears the everyday groans and complaints from the student senators and has for the last five years. She said some senators thought the move was an inconvenience and others thought it was wonderful.

"I think it's always a challenge, but I'd rather us be more prepared so that no matter where the meeting is, it won't be much of a problem," she said.
Tonight's senators might not have the comfort of their usual copy machine at room 410 in the Kansas Union, but Malone said tonight's meeting move would serve other purposes.
Richard Johnson, dean of students, said he liked the change of scenery especially when Student Senate met at the Kansas University Endowment Association building last semester because he had never been there before.
"It does get people who represent one population into other areas," Johnson said.

Cohabitation brings ups, downs
Opposite sexes bring different viewpoints to living situations
Kansas City, Kan., sophomores, Creig Brown, Audrey Huston and Jessica Howard stand in the bathroom of their apartment. The three roommates live in a coed environment and said having the gender mix made living together easier.

you can't live with them, you can'tlive without them,but nowa lease iskeeping you together.
Students who choose to live with roommates of the opposite sex face many of the same obstacles as traditional roommates, and as in most situations, ups and downs occur.
In the three-bedroom apartment of sophomores Audrey Huston, Jessica Howard and Craig Brown, experiences are mostlv positive.
The three have been friends since they attended high school together in Kansas City, Kan., and continue to get along even while they share an apartment.
"My roommates are the greatest, I wouldn't trade them for well almost anything." Brown said.
Adding a guy to the mix brings a lot more drama to the situation, but each of the roommates has formed their own role within the household, Huston said.
"They always want me to do my homework and go to class."
They said Brown brought humor and entertainment, while Huston and Howard added structure.
"They always want me to do my homework and go to class. They turn into the Incredible Hulk if I don't."

Brown said. "They turn into the Incredible Hulk if I don't."
Huston claims she and Howard just try to motivate him.
Huston has chosen to undertake most of the domestic duties such as cooking and cleaning.
really don't eat together unless it's a special occasion or Audrey gets a new cookbook."
Some people might expect the man to be the messy one, Brown said. But it is Howard who fails to keep her room clean.
"Most of the time we cook for ourselves," Brown said. "We
One of the benefits of having a roommate of the opposite sex is the differing points of view, Huston said.
"She keeps her stuff picked up throughout the house," Huston said. "It's just her room that's a mess."
"You get a different perspective and advice from a guy," Huston said.
Although cohabitation is not allowed in the residence halls, that's where Jed Prickett,

The problems they face as roommates aren't because of their sexes, Prickett said.
Anthony senior, found his future female roommate, Carianne Cuevas, Topeka junior.
"The only things we really argue about is cleaning and things like that," Prickett said.
He could have lived with male roommates, but Prickett thought living with woman was a better choice for him.
"The guys I was going to live with were my best friends, and we just would have butted heads the whole time," Prickett said.
Sometimes a good living situation can happen by coincidence.
Madelyn Wilson, St. Louis senior, returned from studying abroad in Australia in December and needed a place to live.She moved into an apartment with two male students whom she had not previously known, but it turned out for the best.
She said the guys mainly kept to themselves so they didn't have any problems.
"I lived with girls before and it just got kind of tedious," Wilson said.
