Pleasure of living alone worth the price to some
By TAD CLARKE Staff Reporter
The rent may be higher, but they'll pay the price. Many students opt to live alone, exchanging roommates and shared bills for a little peace and quiet.
"I love living alone because you have no one to answer to," said John Kilgore, Lawrence senior. "There's not a lot of distraction when you live alone. You have to go out of the way to meet people."
April 5,1985,Kansan Housing Supplement Page 2
James Lichtenberg, director of the Counseling Center, said people lived alone for a variety of reasons.
Kilgore, who has returned to school after working a few years to finish his bachelor's degrees in computer science and accounting, said he lived alone because he was too set in his ways to live with anyone else.
"THERE CAN BE a lot of reasons why people live by themselves or live together," he said. "They may pair up with someone to enjoy convenience and cost effectiveness."
"It is essential for me to be by myself to study," he said. "I need to have abo-
sidion."
Many students probably would like to live alone but don't because they can't afford it. Lichtenberg said.
Apartment complexes in Lawrence
SALLY, WHO ALSO didn't want her last name published, said finding a secure apartment had been a big factor when she was looking.
BUT TRICIA SAID living alone hadn't hurt her social life.
"Girls do have to be more careful." Sally said. "Two guys who are students from across the hall keep tabs on me, and the treatment is pretty secure. That nice."
Kilgore, however, said eating was the one problem he had with living alone.
have hundreds of studio and one-bedroom apartments available for those who want to live alone. The rent is usually $1,800 but most are in the $200 to $900 range.
Tricia, who said she didn't want her last name published, is living alone for the first time this year. She lived in a residence hall last year.
Sometimes students who live by themselves can lose touch with friends and become hermits of sorts.
Security is another factor that some consider before rendering their own place.
"The one big drawback is I'm not a good cook," he said. "I do make some interesting creations now and then."

Naismith, Oliver battle traditional war of words
When the weather gets warm and the windows come open, residents of Naismith and Oliver halls sometimes carry on conversations — conversations that are often less than cordial.
And. well. between buildings.
"I've lived here at Naismith for seven years, and the yelling has been going on ever since I can remember." Brad Tennant, now the hall's resident director, said recently. "And people tell me it he's been going on for as long as the buildings have been here. I guess it's one of those traditional things."
Staff members from both halls said that when residents felt even the slightest tinge of spring, it usually meant the yelling was about to begin:
"I think we've only had a few so far this year," said Kate Barron, Lincoln, Neb., sophomore and Oliver staff member. "We'll see that we'll be sure pretty soon they'll be in full swing."
THE "YELL FIGHTS," as hall residents and workers call them, rarely go beyond yelling, police and hall workers said.
"People rarely throw things." Barron said. "But occasionally water balloons and things like that have been thrown out of the windows. But it doesn't happen much. Usually, the yellers get tired or
bored after about 10 or 15 minutes and quit."
David Lalumia, Wichita freshman and Naismith resident, said he enjoyed the yelling and had prompted several fights himself.
"It's a form of recreation, I suppose," Lalumia said. "The shouting and screaming are really a great way to relieve a litter." The rest of the day she been the brunt of many a frustration.
HALL STAFF WORKERS said the usual procedure for handling excessive yelling was to call the police. Police generally respond by warning the yellers and telling them about possible further action.
"We usually do call the police," Tennant said. "But, sometimes that's also been known to just make things worse. The police will show up and shine their spotlight on the windows or get on their loud speaker, and that just incites the yellers. But there really no other way around it."
Sgt. Mary Ann Robinson, KU police
said he said the yelling was usualy
short-lived.
"It's almost always pretty minor stuff, so we do almost everything we can to stay out of it," Robinson said. "It's much easier if the staff workers handle it.
"But if there is a complaint filed, we have to respond. It's not something we especially enjoy doing. But, nonetheless, it's our job."

"People just don't catch 'em, so they grow," he said.
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.
"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."
"Everyone assumed that he went under the dam," Judy Higgins said. "But they
And when these fish bite, they really bite.
"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 back.
Harvey Hlaser, manager of Lunker Bait and Tackle, 951 E. 23rd St., said the catfish were large; they were old and could find plenty of food in the Kaw to eat, such as small fish, frogs, crawdads and

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 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.
Warmly welcome the call he accepted President Reagan's call to send his troops and would ultimately halt deployment of Soviet triple-warhead SS-20 missiles targeted on Western Europe.
Gorbachev said the moratorium would last until November and he urged the United States to stop simultaneous deployment of Persian 2 and cruise missiles in western Asia.

BUT THE WHITE House quickly dismissed the move as "not enough." citing a 10-1 Soviet superiority in medium-range nuclear missiles in Europe.
NSAN send eidi it to
The deployment of 572 medium-range U.S. missiles in five international 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 to attack U.S. forces in other nuclear warheads. Tass also said U.S. officials failed to include British and French forces in their missile count.
