SOME STUDENTS HAVE difficulty receiving their government scholarships on time for payment of fees, she said, but students who are supported do not always have such problems.
Jorge Diaz, Lima, Peru, senior, said he had not had difficulties receiving his tuition money. "Our parents give us the money and not the government," he said.

dances, and the safety inspections were still necessary. The City Commission referred the item to the city staff for review, saying the permit policy should be modified.
In other action, all five of the commissioners praised City Manager Buford Watson during his
"Working with Buford is an easy process," Commissioner Ernest Angino said, and the other commissioners agreed.
Watson was also honored last night for reaching his 25th anniversary as a city manager. Watson will also be recognized next week by the International Association of City Managers.
IN THE OPEN COMMENT portion of the meeting, Angio made a plea to the people in the city to help the Young Adult Recreation Club of Lawrence find a suitable meet place to rent.
In July, the recreation club members asked the city for revenue sharing to help them finance a spot for meetings and dances where parents can meet children without fear of alcohol being on the premises.
The city went along with the plan, and the club raised money on its own, but it has been unable to do so.
"I'm appalled." Angino said. "These young kids are doing something positive to create an alcohol-free environment, and alcohol is one of the worst problem in Lawrence schools, and they can't find a place to rent despite all the empty buildings there in Lawrence."
the commission last night also deferred action on four senate items.
A REQUEST TO ERECT a communications tower at 2441 W Sixth St., which has sparked neighborhood protest, was delayed for one week. The commission received a request for the delay from the attorney for Ruezschloff Securities firms, the company that wants to build the tower.
The commission delayed action on two separate ordinances dealing with parking on the 2002 block of Kentucky Street, George Schmitendorf, 1211 W. Kentucky, complained that the ordinances would worsen the parking situation for residents, which he says is already bad.
THE COMMISSION ALSO delayed action on the final reading of an ordinance that would limit the height and width of buildings that could be moved within the city limits.
Last week, Commissioner Nancy Shontz expressed concern that the ordinance would effectively eliminate moving houses in the city and asked for deferral. The commissioners and some city staff members attended a Kansas League of Cities meeting in Wichita Oct. 2-4, and the commissioners want to review related information they got there before making a final decision.
- Haskell Indian Junior College received the Lawrence Arts Commission Cultural Enhancement Award for the effort it has made in adding artistic elements to the campus. Gerald Gins accepted the award for the school.
- Also, at last night's meeting:
- The commission approved the hiring of Michael Reese to review the city's health insurance policy.
- The commission received a request from R. Gregory Walstrom of Topeka to investigate a case against the Lawrence Boys Club. The commission gave the matter to Walson for investigation.
bitt took his second helicopter trip of flood areas in three days. Babbitt cited "tens of millions of dollars" in damage and said he would seek emergency aid.
A White House spokesman said Reagan would declare at least 10 counties a disaster area.

Many people considered themselves lucky. The trailer home of Peggy Wilson, 26, was among those destroyed by high winds Sunday at Duncan, in the southeast part of the state.
"It's a miracle no one was hurt. I don't know how he got out of there already. It was the same accident," she said.
She was with her four children in the trailer when the floods hit. Her husband, John, was at water's edge.
SOME BRIDGES WERE reopened yesterday at Tucson where 450,000 residents had been cut off from the rest of the state by bridge collapses and flooded roads.
Flood damage to Tucson's water utility system was estimated at $1 million or more.
National Guard helicopters flew over the desert, distributing food to flood victims. At Maricopa below Phoenix some 200 people are under shelter after it tote 3 to 4 feet deep sweat through the farming town.
Fred E. Wilson said he and other Mariopica residents were warned when the water was on its
"When it first hit, a bunch of us were sitting in a restaurant, drinking coffee and discussing it. Within about three minutes, it was under the wheels of the vehicles. We separated and went to our homes, started getting stuff up on the rooftops.
"I STARTED HAVING blood pressure problems and my neighbor radioed for a helicopter. I brought out three kids with me. The National Guard did a fantastic job, landed in a field within 15 feet of the water. I left my son and two neighbors on the rooftop. They've been deputized and are going to stand there and watch that end of town."

Van
THE VAN ISN'T the only unusual home in which Campbell has lived recently. This summer, he said, he lived in a tent at Clinton Lake and rode a bicycle into Lawrence every day to attend classes.
He cooked over a campfire during the summer
He chewed. "It was a dry run for this. I made out pretty well there, and that was in the wild, in a real secluded spot," he said. "If I can make out well there, I can make out well here."
He now eats many of his meals at Lewis Hall, where he works in the cafeteria, and shows at Robinson Center, where he often works out.
He gets his mail from a post office box. His girlfriend, Felis Biglow, Wichita sophomore, relays his telephone messages.
"When he told me," Biglow said, "I thought that it was something that he might do. When my friends hear that my boyfriend lives in a van, they look at me sometimes like I'm crazy. But it's his way of living.
*PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK us, 'How do you go to the bathroom?' You don't have any running water, either, but it's nice what he done with
it. The carpeting was already here, which was good, but he's made it into a home."
into a home."
Campbell uses the restrooms in nearby campus buildings. The lack of a restroom isn't a problem, he says, because he spends only six or seven hours a day in the van.
He drives to the apartment on long trips and rides his bicycle in Lawrence. Winter won't stop him, he says.
"Snow doesn't bother me. The bicycle goes everywhere," he said.
The bicycle, as beloved as the van, is chained to a post next to the van.
In addition to the carpeting, which runs up one wall and covers the ceiling, Campbell has added a space heater and says that he might buy a small refrigerator and a vacuum cleaner after he installs the electrical system.
However, he says, he will vacate the van as soon as he comes up with the money you get an apartment.
"I's fun lots of fun," he said. "And I'll keep the van as long as I can, whether I'm busy. But I'll have probably only one year."
