AURH serves residence halls
Organization is government for residents
By Susan White Special to the Kansan
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 Curtburh, president of the association.
The organization plans campuswide and inter-hall activities to make on-campus living an enjoyable experience for residents of the seven halls.
"AUHR is the Student Senate of the residence halls," he said. "Basically everyone in the residence halls is involved."
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

Quality restaurants offer that special touch for dining
By Emily Gibson Special to the Kansan
There are a few places in Lawrence that offer a change of pace and that are nice places for a date or even parents.
Fast food is OK for a while. But there are some times when burgers at the drive-through just will not do.
FIFI's, 925 Iowa St. in the Hillcrest Restaurant Center, is probably the fanciest place in town. There, the atmosphere of a truly nice restaurant can be found. There are real table-cloths, it is quiet, and it is dark.
The menu offers seafood, chicken, pasta,
and many other traditional dishes. Entree
prices range from $8.95 for the lite fare
chicken or bow tie vegetable pasta, to $16.95
for the K.C. strip steak with shrimp scampi.
Items that are low in calories or cholesterol
are noted on the menu.
FIF's also has an extensive wine list. It was awarded the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 1991 and 1992. It is the only restaurant in Kansas to win the award.
Dinner is served from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays and Mondays, and from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.
American Bistro in the Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St., is operated by the same owners as FIFF. The atmosphere is much the same, but the food is much different.
The American Bistro also has an extensive wine list. Keith Paden, manager of FIFFs, says that American Bistro is expected to be awarded the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 1993.
Chef Gary Glover describes the food at American Bistro as "regional American cuisine." Examples include cajun orange roughy, venison with wild mushrooms and east coast crabcakes. Entree prices range from $10.95 to $15.95.
American Bistro is open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and until 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Sunday brunch is offered from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Teller's, 746 Massachusetts St., occupies what used to be a bank. Some of the original teller windows are still in tact, and the restrooms are in what used to be the bank's vaults.
Teller's offers a broad range of creative, eclectic, American food. One of its specialties is the wood-fired brick oven pizza. Pizzas range from plain cheese pizza to smoked duck pizza. Pasta, seafood, and even pheasant as well as vegetarian items are offered.
until 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday, and until 1 a.m. Sundays.
Entree prices range from $9.95 to $16.95.
Food is served from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Sunday through Thursday, and until 11 p.m.
Fridays and Saturday. The bar stays open
The bar has 38 domestic and bottled beers, and a variety of wines are available by the glass or by the bottle.
All three restaurants offer seasonal menu items. What may be on the summer menu, such as certain varieties of fish, may not be on the winter menu.
Don's Steak House has less to offer in the way of ambiance, but can be included with the others because of the food.
