AURH serves residence halls
Organization is government for residents
By Susan White Special to the Kansai
KU students who live in residence halls can become more than just another face by getting involved in the Association of University Residence Halls.
The governmental organization gives hall residents a voice in different areas of the University through five committees, said Jamie Cutburh, president of the association.
"AURH is the Student Senate of the residence halls," he said. "Basically everyone in the residence halls is involved."
The organization plans campuswide and inter-hall activities to make on-campus living an enjoyable experience for residents of the seven halls.
Students interning for the organization during the summer planned all the activities for the fall semester. The group has been laying the ground work for several projects including the Midwest Affiliation of College and University Residence Halls, a leadership conference at KU in November, he said.
If students join AURH they can work on several committees, including housing and environment, which focus on improving the residence halls through the department of student housing and on recycling for the environment. Students also can work on the marketing committee designing the publicity posters for the association or contribute to Hall Street Journal, the monthly newsletter.
Cuturth said a committee also

would work with Peggy Smith, director of food service for student housing, to make the food service better.
"We will try to route all the complaints through the food service and develop new menu items for the residents." Cutburn said.
A programming committee will coordinate dances like last year's semi-formal spring dance, parties like last year's presidential-election party and educational programs like Alcohol Awareness Week.
Jennifer Hunt, the National Communications Coordinator, will organize and lead the fifth committee, which will be composed of delegates for regional and national conferences.
The first week of school, resident assistants will select students from their hall floors to be representatives for the association. All hall residents are invited to attend the meetings.

The organization also offers a confidential support group, which is led by trained therapists. Interested students should call KU Information at 864-3506 or Headquarters at 814-2345 for information.
Some students who are not comfortable with our organization start off at the support group and then join us when they're more comfortable." said Jennifer Papanek, Lawrence senior and co-president of LesBiGaySOK.
The organization also holds visibility events, Propoek said.
"We simply go bowling, to a movie or a restaurant
as a group," she said. "For many of LesBiGaySOK's members it is difficult to be openly homosexual or bisexual in public."
LesBiGaySOK will begin doing community service this year. Manning said.
The organization holds social gatherings to commemorate holidays, and there is a dining out club that meets every other week to go to local restaurants.
For students who are not ready to go to a group meeting of any kind, gay peer counseling is available over the phone. Students can reach a counselor by calling KU Information or Headquarters
