Designer adds color to campus
Housing director's creations win national recognition
By Frank McCleary Kansan staff writer
Carol Voterm Tersch did not want trendy colors in the Ekdahl Dining Commons.
"Color is important," said Von Tersch, assistant director of student housing. "We wanted the colors to be bright and cheerful, also long-lived. You go through phases where people dislike the colors theyliked as teenagers."
Carol Von Tersch, assistant director of student housing, played a crucial role in the designing of the Ekdahl Dinind Commons in Lewis Hall.

Aspart of her job, Von Tersch specifies the type of furniture and carpet to buy on major projects, such as the cafeteria and the construction of Amini Scholarship Hall. But when the housing department has smaller projects, such as redesigning lobbies, she becomes more involved with the design process.
When considering the colors and furniture for the cafeteria, minor details were important to Von Tersch — so much that she negotiated to have the carpet made with a different fiber because it had a richer look, she said.
"Sometimes little details do not appear to be important, but they do make a difference," said Von Tersch.
She also considered what students liked and disliked in the design, she said.
"After a while you begin to understand what students like and dislike." Von Tersch said.
"She has a good sense of what goes together," he said. "She has a good notion of what lasts, what is in style."
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said it was important for the University to have an interior designer like Von Tersch.
Von Tersch said one of her favorite projects was the Jayhawker Towers courtyard renovation.
A swimming pool was removed last year and
replaced by a sun deck that features a 17-ton limestone boulder.
The Jayhawker Towers project placed first as an exterior lounge area in the $25,000 to $75,000 renovations category. The cafeteria placed second in the renovations over $75,000 category.
"I think I will always have a particular attachment to this project," she said.
Both the cafeteria and the courtyard renovations have received national recognition. The Association of University Interior Designers honored the projects last fall.
Von Tersch said the Association of University
Interior Designers' award was particularly special because it came from other designers.
The department also received a positive response from students after the cafeteria opened, Von Tersch said.
"Sometimes if you do not hear a lot, it means it is okay," she said. "We did hear a lot of positive comments after it opened."
Stoner said Von Tersch always was willing to take on any project.
"Everything from patios to a plaza to a dining commons, she gets involved with," he said.
Panhellenic, AURH honor former dean
As student life dean leader encouraged campus involvement
By Frank McCleary Kansan staff writer
Students in the greek community and the residence halls are honoring Caryl Smith for the time she gave to them.
In December, KU Panhellenic and the Association of University Residence Halls established two awards in Smith's name that will recognize leaders in the greek community and the residence hall system.
Smith served as dean of student life from 1978 to December 1993. She recently accepted the position of vice president for student support services at the University of Akron, Ohio.
Panhellenic established the Caryl K. Smith Student Leader Award to be presented to a graduating fraternity man or sorority woman. The $500 award will be presented at the end of each spring semester.
Jennifer MacDonald, president of Panhellenic, said the organization wanted to recognize Smith's involvement with fraternities and sororites. Smith retired last year after serving several years as chair of the Center for the Study of the College Fraternity.
"Caryl was a big supporter of the greek community," she said. "She had an understanding because she was part of the community."
The Caryl Kelley Smith Leadership Scholarship, established by AURH, will recognize a returning student within the residence hall system. The $500 scholarship will also be presented at the end of each spring semester.
Ken Martin, vice president of AURH, said Smith's commitment to the residence halls also was important to recognize.
"She took the time to foster the leadership abilities of students in the residence halls," he said. "She was someone who exemplified a strong leader. She inspired students."
Smith said she was excited by the awards and the opportunities they will provide for students.
"It is an extremely great honor to have either, let alone both," she said. "It is so important to have opportunities for students in the future."
Residence halls and the greek community are important because they are places where students can become involved in campus life, Smith said.
"They are terrific places where students can get experience," she said. "They are opportunities for students to participate in activities that supplement their academic studies."
Western Civilization to offer chance to study in Europe
By Angelina Lopez Kansan staff writer
For most students, studying Western Civilization is simply learning about the writings of Galileo and Seneca in a classroom.
The department of Western Civilization, with help from the Office of Study Abroad, is making it possible to study Western Civilization where Galileo and Seneca developed their noble ideas.
The new program will allow 20-30 students to study Western Civilization, European history and art history for one semester in Paris and Florence, Italy, said Nancy Mitchell, assistant director of the Office of Study Abroad. The program will begin in the spring of 1995, she said.
James Woelfel, director of the Western Civilization department, helped develop the program and will be the Western Civilization instructor for the students that go abroad.
"It's a very special opportunity to be in the great cities of Europe and be able to study Western Civilization," he said.
"Florence is the main city of the Renaissance period," he said. "It's a treasure house for works of art."
For the second half of the semester, the students will study Western Civilization II in Paris, Woelfel said.
Through this program, Mitchell

The Office of Study Abroad is offering an informational meeting about the program "Spring Semester Abroad, 1995 in Paris and Florence." 3 p. m. Tuesday in 3 Lippincott Hill.

said, a student can earn 12 credit hours — six hours for Western Civilization I or Western Civilization II three hours in art history and three hours in European history.
The cost of the program for each student is approximately $5500, Mitchell said. That price covers KU tuition, room and board, some meals, weekend excursions and a 10-day Eurorail pass for students to travel during their spring break, she said.
To be eligible for this program, a student must have a 3.0 grade point average, sophomore standing by the spring of 1995 and the equivalent of two semesters in a European language, Mitchell said.
Turi Grimm, Sabeth freshman,
said she would be interested in the
program because she wanted to
study abroad, but she said she was
not interested in studying a foreign
language.
Michael Maher, a Lawrence resident who graduated from KU in 1993, said he would have loved to have studied Western Civilization through this program rather than through the traditional method.
"You can learn a 100 times more through traveling than you can in a classroom," he said.
