Study will ask students about the cost of college
By Jamie Munn Kansan staff writer
had paid for most student costs, such as tuition, books and room and board. But he said more students were accepting the costs themselves.
A new survey by KU's department of student affairs may be the first of its kind to measure the increasing burden of financing a college education.
Jeff Weinberg, assistant vice chancellor, said the survey would study the rising cost of higher education and the measures students were taking to balance their money with expenses.
He said the questions in the survey focused on three major goals: how undergraduates financed their education, how they deal with the impact of rising costs and how students are able to absorb those costs.
"We really haven't found a survey quite like this at any other university," Weinberg said.
The study also will be used to determine what strategies students will use in the future to deal with financial problems.
The official results will not be available until after the surveys are all returned April 11, Weinberg said. He said the results, which will be published after several months of scrutiny, would be published for the Kansas Board of Regents and other universities across the nation.
"If we can get a good return rate, it could make a difference for KU students and students at other universities," he said.
Weinberg said in the past parents
The Office of Institutional Research and Planning randomly selected 1,500 undergraduates for the survey, which was mailed Monday.
Weinberg said that the survey was anonymous but that it asked demographic questions such as sex, gender and where students lived before coming to KU.
One section was devoted solely to employment, asking whether and
One former KU student, Alicia Fletcher, Lawrence resident, said increased financial costs had been one of the reasons she could not attend KU this semester. Fletcher would have been a freshman this semester.
Social integration also was included in the survey to determine how work may affect involvement in extracurricular activities.
how much students worked and why they worked.
However, she said, she expects to attend KU again next fall because she has been working eight to 12 hours a day at her current job.
"With books and living expenses, it's outrageous," Fletcher said.
Fletcher said that even though some of her books had been inexpensive, she had been forced to borrow many of them from friends.
"Ijust work a lot," Pletcher said. "It's not uncommon for me to have two or three jobs floating around."
STD month to emphasize prevention
By Ashley Schultz Kansan staff writer
Students are less hesitant to fish condoms out of the bowl on Janine Gracy's desk.
Gracy, coordinator of the Department of Health Education, said as sexual awareness has gone up, embarrassment about getting protection has gone down.
April is Sexually Transmitted Disease Awareness Month, declared by the American Social Health Association, a non-profit organization that operates national STD and herpes hotlines, as well as the National AIDS Hotline. This is the third year for STD Awareness Month.
they say, 'I can't believe this happened to me.'
"Every day on the phone people call because they just found out they have a sexually transmitted disease, and
"Rather than talking about disease, we help people talk about sex and their own health," said Peggy Clarke, president of the association.
The Center for Sexual Health Education at Watkins Memorial Health Center has some of the association's literature, Gracy said.
She said that often students contract an STD or have a close call before they take necessary precautions.
The center gets calls from people describing symptoms such as a burning sensation during urination, swollen genitals and lesions on genitalis, Gracy said. Callers are advised to see a physician immediately because it is easier to treat and identify conditions while symptoms still exist, Gracy said.
Instructions on how to use a condom correctly will be included in presentations this month by students in the peer health advising class. The presentations will be given to organized living groups.
"If students don't know how to use a condom, then they need to learn how," Gracy said. "It's not something we're born with — we don't innately know how to put on a condom and how to use it correctly. It is a learned skill, and we suggest that they should practice before the act.
"It sounds kind of silly but practice makes perfect."
Other common condom problems include tears and damaged latex because of old age or use of an oil-based lubricant, Gracy said.
"Sex Talk: Making Love Better and Healthier," a free guide about sexual health from the association, is available by calling 1-800-972-8500 any time. The National STD Hotline, 1-800-278-8922, is operated Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
