Canterbury House, 1116 Louisiana SL., is home for five students who are devoted Episcopalians. The house is one of several houses sponsored by various religious denominations around campus.
Students worship faith, study in campus Christian housing
By WARREN BRIDGES

As lay ministers, they help with weekly worship services, help students who may be having problems support their religion in any way possible.
As students, they go to class, study for exams and face the pressures of the exam.
This dual role is shared by those who live in religious housing at the University.
Laura McGuire, Kansas City, Kan,
senior and a resident of the Canterbury House, 1116 Louisiana St.,
said the house accommodated five students, all of them interested and involved in the Ecclesiastic relation.
"About four years ago, the place was in pretty bad shape," she said. "It even had a coffee shop downstairs."
THE HOUSE, which is part of the church building, was at one time a "crash-pad for hippies," McGuire said.
The house is now directed by Peter casperian, who also is the priest of his monastery.
Casparian said the Canterbury
House had been active on the campus since 1859 and had survived several
Caspian said the residents paid no rent to live in the house but shared
HE SAID that no behavioral restrictions were placed on the residents and that they were screened before being accepted to live in the house.
"We look for people who demonstrate maturity and a commitment to their religion," he said. "We don't have behavioral dos and don'ts. We have a 'What would your grandmother approve off?' type of system here."
McGuire said the reactions she received from others when she told them she lived in a Christian house were usually positive.
Three women and two men now live in the house, which McGuire said was undergoing renovations.
The Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., houses six students, said Jack Bremer, pastor at the center.
"It was designed to teach the residents about the process of living in a community and learning about Christ," he said.
BREMER, WHO has been pastor of the center for four years, said its residents were selected on a semester-by-sementer basis. The group conducts half-hour interviews with each person, and residents are selected on the basis of three criteria, he said.
The criteria include a clear Christian commitment, an ability to associate with groups of people and a clear vision of justice.
He said the church was mainly supported by three denominations: the United Methodist Church, the United Baptist Church, and the United Church of Christ.
Glenn Schwerdtfeger, Buston sophomore and resident of the center; said he enjoyed the cooperative living arrangement.
"It runs smoothly, and you get a lot of important variety of ideas and thoughts."
HE ALSO said it was inexpensive.
"It cost us less than $100 a month, and that includes all utilities," he said.
The Jewish Hiliel Society has no student housing now, but the director of the society said she hoped some students could be arranged by September.
Six senators dismissed for absences
Six student senators were dismissed from office this week because of their excessive absences, the Student Senate executive secretary said yesterday.
Terry DiMouh, the secretary, said that the senators' replacements would be announced at the next Senate meeting on March 9.
The new senators will be chosen on the basis of who received the next largest number of votes in the election last semester; she said.
THE SENATORS who were dismissed from office are Susan Paden, and the others.
Corolis, Nunemaker Center senator; Marianne Reed, graduate student senator; Bob Dowdy, University special student senator; and Drew Hosman, University special student senator.
difficult time filling the vacant spots, she said. Graduate student seats are especially hard to fill.
Jim Cramer, student body vice president, said that special students were in a difficult position because they were not on campus all day, so they might have trouble to Senate meetings.
The number of Student Senators removed from office because of excessive absences is small this year compared to last year, but Senate officials said they were still disappointed about the dismissals.
DiMouish said that 20 students had been dismissed last semester.
DiMush said that when a senator missed four Senate meetings without an excuse, or had two unexcused charges, he was dismissed from the Senate.

History seminar begins today
Ann Schofield asks students in her women's history classes at the beginning of each semester to name 10 famous men of the past.
And most of her students can do that, said Schofield, assistant professor of American and women's studies at the University of Kansas.
But when they are asked to name 10 famous women in history, they run into trouble, she said. Few can finish that part of the lesson.

She said students were often surprised to find that the accomplishments of women had often been ignored by history books.
AS A HISTORIAN, she said, eliminating that bias is necessary to make history more accurate, even if it is a big task.
More than 85 historians from Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska will learn ways to tackle that task at a conference on "Mainstreaming Women's History."
Glenda Riley, author of "Frontier Women: the town Experience," will open the conference at 2:45 p.m. today with her keynote address, "Putting
OTHER HISTORIANS who will speak include Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, from the State University of New York at Binghamton, and Susan Hartman, from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Hartman is the author of several books, "Women and Women and War" and "On the Home Front and Beyond: Women in the 1940s."
The conference is second in a series of eight to be held nationwide to promote women's history. The Organization of American Historians, the Lilly Foundation and KU are sponsoring the conference. Schofield said. Women's studies and history departments have organized the conference.
TIME OF DISAPPEARANCE: Fri. & Sat., March 4 & 5 at 7 & 9:30 P.M.
PLACE OF DISAPPEARANCE: Downs Aud. (Dyche Hall—next to Union)
Registration is required and there is a fee for teaching materials that will be provided.
IN THE FAST two decades, there has been an explosion of research in women's history. Schofield said. The conference will pull people together from all areas of education — secondary schools, college campuses and explore ways to integrate that research into their programs, she said.
Although the conference is aimed at history instructors and local museum and historical society officials, both institutional and interested in women's history could attend.
Rules to aid crippled infants
By United Press International
the conference will include film festivals both tonight and Friday night.
Thomas Donnelly, acting secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, said the government would also set up a 24-hour toll-free hot line to hear complaints of discrimination against such infants.
WASHINGTON - The federal government, prompted by the death of a 6-day-old Indiana baby, announced new rules yesterday to protect handicapped infants from being denied life-supporting nutrition or medical care.
THE BABY, called "Baby Doe," suffered from Down's Syndrome and a deformed digestive system that only allowed intravenous feeding. He died hours before lawyers were to ask the state Supreme Court to order feeding.

A group of congressmen later introduced legislation allowing the govern- ment to pay salaries.

A spokesman said the notice of the new rules will probably take effect this week.
On the record
The notices must state that "discriminatory failure to feed and care for handicapped infants in this facility is prohibited by federal law", and, if such failure occurs, the care of infants may also violate the criminal and civil laws of your state."

KU POLICE searched Summerfield Hall, the Kansas Union and the Computer Center for a bomb yesterday, police said. The Fairway Police Department notified KU police that KCMO television in Kansas City, Kan., had called a call saying that a bomb was planted in those buildings, KU police said.
Police found no bomb during the search, said Jim Denney, KU director of police. The Kansas Bureau of investigation is investigating the crime, he said.
