Communal life offers alternative

Communes may be a rapidly disappearing relic of the 1960s, but the appeal of cooperative living still attracts students at the University of Kansas.
"Students have always wanted cheap living," Tom Welsh, Lawrence graduate student and a resident of the Sunflower House, 1406 Tennessee Avenue. The Lawrence house is the oldest of the Lawrence co-ops.
Acceptance of others is necessary in the diverse group that lives in Sunflower House. Some Lawrence cooperatives, such as the Campus Christian House, 1116 Indiana St., attract people who show religious or social values to Sunflower's residents have widely different values and goals.
Students who live there major in everything from art and electrical engineering to music and business.
"We have everyone from people interested in social movements to people who are interested in their BMWS." Teresa Lawson, Lawrence freshman and a Sunflower resident, said.
President贝拉卡罗尔说:"ONE OF THE basic philosophies you have to have to live in the house is to accept different lifestyles," she said.
This has not always been the case for cooperatives. Although Sunflower's parent organization, the University of Kansas Student Housing Association, was founded in the late 1930s to provide inexpensive housing for students, Sunflower House emerged from the commune movement of the 1960s.
Most of the early cooperatives failed, and Sunflower closed for a time in 1917. These communes failed, Welsh said, because their founders were guided more by idealistic notions of cooperation and sharing than by a practical understanding of how to make them work.
"They were throwing out some of the essential aspects of organization, because the organization they were rebelling against had those aspects too." Welsh said.
"I DON'T THINK the ideal didn't work. It was rejecting the system and depending entirely on the ideal that caused their failure," he said. "Welsh said the organizers of Sunflower House."
had tried to develop a system that would work and allow students to live together cooperatively.
They didn't focus on the ideal; because
ever, they were focusing on the ideal was failing.
Welsh said.
Co-ops offer KU students inexpensive room and board. In exchange, residents spend a few hours each week doing to maintain the cooperative.
Co-ops also give students a living arrangement that is socially enriching and emotionally supportive, said Lawson, who coordinates renting for the house.
"It's like a big family because we're all really
friends, but not like a family,
because we don't do every one."
COOPERATIVE LIVING, residents said, offers several advantages over more traditional student living arrangements, such as residence halls or apartments.
"You're never lonely, but you have more privacy than if you shared an apartment with three roommates," Lawson said.
Raj Jayaraman, London sophomore, said, "It's sort of a nice cross between living in an apartment and living in a dorm or scholarship hall. You live your privacy, and you have all the people."
John Gardner, Altoona freshman, said, "Living in an apartment would be a real drag. I wouldn't get to meet anyone."
Residents are assigned to inspect each job. If the job is not finished when it should be or does not pass inspection, the person who signed up for it can be fined $2 or $4, which is added to his rent.
Such an idyllic living arrangement is not without a price. Each Sunflower resident is required to share the work of the house. This includes cooking the evening meal, washing dishes, keeping the house clean and doing simple repairs and maintenance.
Gardner said he thought the cooperative work arrangement required more work than living alone. A busy class schedule sometimes makes it difficult to meet the house's work requirements.
But Jayaraman that the house's program guaranteed that the work would be shared fairly
"It makes sure every person living here does his fair share of work, and no single person is burdened with all the work," he said.

The lure of landing a big one drew Lawrence residents Jim Russell and John Dumont.
LAWRENCE'S GIANT catfish could mean big backs for Mrs. Paul. For example, one 85 pound catfish would be able to catch a 180-cream, lightly batched fishbites.
Biggers, however, took a more relaxed approach to fishing. He lounged on a rock

into the water with large hooks lashed to their wrists to try to snare the big catfish, also known flatheads, he said
"I didn't do it," Higgins said. "I didn't want to tangle with no fish in the water. They have rough teeth like a man's wiskers. They can tear a man's hide off."
And when these fish bite, they really bite.
"Everyone assumed that he went under the dam," Judy Higgins said. "But they didn't."
"Yeah, you know when you have a big one on your line." Russell said.

According to an old fisherman's tale, a man dove into the water and never came
"Anything that wiggles and moves, they'll eat," he said.
Harvey Hasler, manager of Lunker Bait and Tackle, 951 E.I. 23rd St., said the catfish were large because they were old and could find plenty of food in the Kaw to eat, such as small fish, frogs, crawdads and snakes.
Jim Russell. Lawrence resident, bails his hook in hope of catching something to fill the frying pan. He was fishing Easter day on the Kaw River dam across from the Bowersock Mills and Power Co., Sixth and New York streets. Russell never caught the big one. He had to settle for a lot of nibbles and a five-inch channel catfish, which he tossed back.
missiles targeted on Western Europe
Gorbachev said the moratorium would last until November and he urged the United States to stop simultaneous deployment of 2 and cruise missiles in western Europe.
BUT THE WHITE House quickly dismissed the move as "not enough," citing a 10.1 Soviet superiority in medium-range nuclear missiles in Europe.
The deployment of 572 medium-range U.S. missiles in five European nations began in late 1983 as part of a 1979 NATO plan to counter the SS-20s. The United States said the Soviets had 414 SS-20s operational, two-thirds of them aimed at western Europe.
Tass said yesterday that U.S. officials used "stale arguments" of Soviet missile superiority to reject Gorbachev's proposal and instead use nuclear warheads in other nuclear warheads. Tass also said U.S. officials failed to include British and French forces in their missile count.
