Three KU Couples Relate Battle To Stretch $90
When the wolf comes to the door, love often goes out the window, but three recently-married K.U. couples have been doing a good job of keeping the wolf away.
They have experienced the problem of combining school and home life. Some of their ideas about marriage and costs of living might well be enlightening for those who plan to marry soon. Or could it be, "Give me that simple life."
Mrs. Erwin Netzer, director of the housing bureau, maintains a list of available houses and apartments in Lawrence and at Sunflower Village. But because of the long waiting list, vacancies are filled within 30 minutes after the occupants have declared the vacancy, she said. Apartment Still Source
Apartment in Lawrence are few. About one third of them are not in good condition, Mrs. Netzer said. Often they are rented before they appear on the list as rentals in the housing office.
Apartments Still Scarce
"I have 75 to 100 inquiries from students who plan to attend school," she said.
Mrs. Netzer and her husband, Erwin J. Netzer, College junior, live in a two room apartment at 1344 Kentucky. They were married Dec. 28. Their living expenses amount to $130 a month. $45 for food, $40 for rent, and $45 for all other expenses, such as laundry, entertainment, insurance, and transportation.
Does Quantity Shopping
Mrs. Netzer believes that shopping in large quantities on Saturday is profitable because she can save 6 or 7c on individual items of meats and canned goods. Scant refrigeration space will not allow buying meats in large quantities, but it is practical for buying canned and dry goods.
Lewis Blanding, business senior,
and his wife live at 2116 New Hampshire. They were married Dec. 22,
1946. They finally found a basement apartment, one large room partitioned off into kitchen and bedroom.
The rent for their basement apartment is $40 a month furnished. Food bills for the month average about $50, transportation $10. The Blanding's share the bath with the people upstairs, but have a shower in the basement.
Entertainment consists of one or two movies a week, a dance now and then, a few bridge games, and visiting friends.
"Two Can Live Cheaper?"
Relating some of the details about romance the Blanding's said, "we debriefed that we could accomplish more together by combining our efforts toward a definite goal, instead of using valuable time seeing each other whenever possible which detracted from school work."
Lewis said, "one adjustment I had to make was cutting down on beer drinking with the fellows and dancing, but now I don't miss the night life." He carries 19 hours of school work and has two part time jobs, but yet he has gained 10 pounds, as a result of his wife's fine cooking.
Russell Blazer, engineering junior,
and his wife live in a two room
apartment with shared bath at 1335
Vermont. One room is a kitchen, the
other a living room during the day
and bedroom at night. The living
cost is $140 a month, of which $45
is applied to food and $37.50 for rent.
Blazers' Don't Budget
Mrs. Blazer said, "I don't keep a budget but try to cut corners where I think it necessary."
They both agreed that married life was conducive to school work. Mrs. Blazer said, "now I find that I can get much more done because I am happier doing 10 hours of school work along with house work." She is a psychology major.
