Schol halls offer family-like living

Those big houses just east of campus don't have classrooms in them and they don't have professors' offices. They could be fraternity or sorority houses, except no Greek letters are above the front doors.
Students who haven't walked in the area behind Fraser Hall may not know that these houses are scholarship halls. And the residents are part of living groups that provide relatively inexpensive University housing and family-like living.
The University of Kansas has eight scholarship halls. Four are all-male halls: Battenfeld, Grace Pearson, Pearson and
Stephenson. Four are all-female halls: Douthart, Miller, Sellards and Watkins.
Being admitted into a scholarship hall is considered a form of scholarship because students pay an average of about $400 less than residents in other University housing.
TO BE CHOSEO to live in a scholarship hall, a student must apply to the office of residential programs. Requirements for admission include a 2.5 grade point average and enrollment in a minimum of 28 credit hours a year.
A committee comprising scholarship hall residents and representatives from the office of residential programs selects the students who are admitted into the halls.
Many scholarship hall residents are a far cry from bookish species who spend every night in study sessions. Each of the eight halls has residents who take their studies seriously, but the students spend their fair share of time just having fun.
Suzanne Benorden, a Hutchinson freshman who lives in Miller Hall, said recently that she enjoyed sharing a house with about 50 other students.
"I REALLY LIKE it," she said. "It's a great living situation. If you think you'd like family-style living, this would be a good place to live."
tunities for academics; as well as socializing.
Benorden, who lived in Gertrude Sellars Pearson Hall last semester, said the scholarship hall had different oop-
"The atmosphere around the school hall is better for studying," she said. "But it's fun."
Anne Hills, Lawrence sophomore, lives in Watkins Hall. The hall's atmosphere promotes new friendships, she said, because the residents saw each other living in residence halls and because schol' hall residents work together.
Hills said each scholarship hall was unique.
Sport determines home for some athletes
"I think Watkins has a different reputation than most of them," she said. "We're kind of wild, I guess, compared to the others."
By MIKE BRENNAN Staff Reporter
KU athletes live in everything from Greek houses to apartments. But sometimes the sport and the type of scholarship the athlete receives help make the decision on where to live a little easier.
The Jayhawker Towers are home to almost all athletes who play football and basketball and who have been awarded full scholarships. The basketball team uses five apartments for players and the football team uses 36.
"For the most part, they are required to
be underpaid and directed, housing for the football team."
Whitney said the main reason for requiring players to live in the Towers was the training table. The training table, a food service for athletes on full scholarship, mainly is used by football and basketball teams. A separate schedule athletes meals and has a flexible schedule to accommodate the various practice times of each sport.
WHITNEY SAID ANOTHER reason team members were placed in the Towers was convenience. The Towers are across the street from Allen Field House, where
the football locker room is located. The players can walk across the street, suit up and head to the practice field behind Anschutz Pavilion.
Swim coach Gary Kempf was many of his younger swimmers lived in Oliver Hall for convenience. He said most of the older swimmers lived off campus.
Sophomore Chris McCool is one of the swimmers who live in Oliver. McCool said that he wanted to live in a residence hall that Kempf encouraged him to live in Oliver.
Another option some athletes choose is greek life. Full-scholarship football and basketball players do not live in fraternities but are allowed to be either social members of houses or active members who live outside the house. A social member lives outside of the house but is allowed to attend meetings and house functions.
"It's close to the pool, and that's where in roommate Dave Bellon wanted to live."
Off-campus housing is another popular option for athletes. Apartments and houses are especially appealing to those athletes with families, such as basketball player Greg Dreiling and football player Tom Quick.

LAWRENCE'S GIANT catfish could mean big bucks for Mrs. Paul. For example, one 35-pound catfish would be about 10 ounces, 40 crunchy, lightly battered fishbites.

"I didn't do it," Huggins said. "I didn't want to tangle with the fish in the water. They have rough teeth like a man's wiskers. He can tear a man's bade off."
But many years ago, fishermen dove into the water with large hooks lashed to their wrists to try to snare the big catfish, also known flatheads, he said.
cause it is their nature to swim upstream and the dam blocks their path.
"Everyone assumed that he went under the dams and Riggins said. "But they didn't."
"People just don't catch 'em, so they grow," he said.
And when these fish bite, they really bite.
According to an old fisherman's tale, a man dove into the water and never came back.
"Yea, you know when you have a big one on your line." Russell said.
Harvey Hasler, manager of Lunker Bait and Tackle, 61.63 E. 29rd. 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.

"Anything that wiggles and moves, they'll eat," he said.
Jim Russell, Lawrence resident, baits 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.
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.
Gorbachev announced Sunday that he had accepted President Reagan's call for a summit and would unilaterally halt deployment of Soviet triple-warhead SS-20 missiles targeted on 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 accused them of ignoring their own warheads. Tass also said U.S. officials failed to include British and French forces in their missile count.
