Jeff Brown. Bonner Springs junior, relaxes in his studio apart ment in Hanover Place.
Studio housing offers privacy but loneliness is a drawback
By JANICE GUNN Staff Reporter
Jeff Brown, Bonner Springs junior, gets up, dressed and goes to his classes every day, as most students do. But, unlike many students, he is reluctant to go home at the end of the day.
It's not that he's not relieved to be finished with this daily routine, it's just that he likes to stay on campus and talk to friends rather than return to his studio apartment at Hanoi Place, or his Hanover Place, to have a lovely dinner.
"That's the worst thing about living in a studio apartment—having to eat dinner by yourself." Brown said last week. "I like to look across the table and see someone sitting there, not an empty chair."
BUT, DESPIITE THE drawbacks of not having a dinner partner or companion for other home activities, Brown and other studio apartment dwellers say they'd rather give up the companionship for privacy.
Of all the studio apartments in Meadowbrook, Trailridge, Alvarnar Quail Creek, Cedarwood and Heatherwood apartment complexes,
apartment managers said there were no vacancies.
Mark Graham, Lawrence junior and assistant manager of Cedarwood Apartments, 2414 Owsdahl Road, said that at the beginning of the semester, there was a bigger demand for studio apartments than Cedarwood could accommodate. Four of the complex's 122 units are studio apartments.
"It's very unusual that they're full," Graham said. "People try to get the best buy they can and a one-bedroom apartment or only $20 more a month than a studio."
BUT STUDENTS SAID they had to sacrifice the extra space of a one- or two-bedroom apartment to save money.
Because they don't have a roommate with whom to split food, telephone and utility costs, many said that studio living was more expensive.
Several students said the extra cost was worth having a place to themselves where they could entertain, eat or sleep and be addressed to, without disturbing other people.
All of the students interviewed had lived in organized living groups either at the University of Kansas or other
universities and said they studied more when living alone.
KEITH HARRISTON, Washington,
D.C., graduate student, said he had
neither the time to deal with another
student nor the time to keep

"I just like to live by myself," Harrison said. "It's just the right size for me, since I don't have the time to put up with personality conflict that you might have to if you lived with somebody."
Although he said he had lived with roommates before as an undergraduate and had no disagreements with them, he told me that he believed in preventive medicine."
Senate meets for changing of guard
He said he would like to live alone in a bigger place, but because of the cost and lack of time to maintain such a place, the studio was just right.
But Brown said that he liked to work on his apartment and when he moved in, he arranged and decorated it.

It was goodbye to the old and hello to the new last night at the final Student Senate meeting of the year.
In a joint meeting of last year's Senate and the newly-elected senators, Bret Coleman and Bren Abbott, former student body president and second final farewells to the group they had directed during the past year.
"I think we had a really good year," Coleman told the old Senate. "I think we worked very, very hard to accomplish what we did."
DURING THEIR administration,
Coleman and Abbott had to contend
with severe dissension on several issues
outside of Coleman's performance in office.
Detroit auto sales lowest since 1959
DETROIT—Domestic auto sales in November were the lowest for the month since 1859, down 16.4 percent from a year ago, with one analyst blaming the drop on consumers' economic fears.
Ford suffered the biggest decline—a 20.2 percent drop—with General Motors falling 18.1 percent from a year ago. Chrysler's sales were 15 percent for the year, but many managed to keep its sales for the year more than 41 percent above 1980.

Overall, the industry recorded sales of 581,728 cars last month, down 16.4 percent from the 606,050 sold in 1980. The drop was due to the industry's lowest since 1974.
Domestic automakers sold 431,726
cars in November, down from 529,288
a year ago. This war is daily rate of
15,395 recorded in November 1959.
Imports grabbed a 25.8 percent share of the market.
Coleman warned the new Senate that federal budget cuts and rising education costs would make its job more important and more difficult.
A Ford analyst said that the figures were better than expected but that customers were still too worried about new cars for investments, such as car purchases.
"Just work really hard and don't get frustrated. Perseverance will get you farther than anything else."
"I think the future is going to be difficult for students," he said.
Abbott told the incoming senators to go to David Adkins and David Welch, the newly elected president and vice president, for advice and ideas.
"Utilize David and David to the greatest extent possible," he said. "Nothing will be changed until you start utilizing those two."
BEFORE GIVING up the lectern to Welch, his successor, Abbott told the old Senate, "I think it's been a good year."
He also told the senators to accept victories and defeats as they came.
"And don't be afraid to speak out," Abbott said.
For the new, he added, "Work hard for your constituents."
The outgoing Senate also selected Loren Busbv. Hutchinson junior; Mollie
Mitchell, Hutchinson junior; and Staci
Wichtle, Wichtle sophomore, as
passenger.
Each year, the outgoing Senate selects three of its members for the holdover positions, meaning that they will be in Senate during the next term.
Busby was an unsuccessful candidate for student body president and Mitchell and Feldman were defeated for reelection to the Senate.
The new Senate, in its first action, chose Sarah Duckers, business senator, and Jim Cranmer, Nunenauer senator, to chair the University Council for the coming year.
WELCH COURAGED the senators in the Senate and the committee activities.
Adkins, in his first speech to the senators since his election, called on them to discard the competitive feelings of the campaign.
"My first order of business tonight is to proclaim the campaign over," Atkins said. "I would think we would have to divide our divisions we've had in the past."
He said his new administrations would be based on teamwork, communications and enthusiasm.

two classic comedies by Charlie Chaplin. The Gold Rush is the hilarious tale of a girl with no golddiggers in the Klondike; voted by critics as one of the ten greatest films of all time. The Gold Rush is timeless, Veronica Lake's drama about a withering, richly hilarious black comedy about a blueboard type in Paris, murdering a succession of rich wives. It is a classic of 19th-century film . . . and believe that it is high among the great works of this century." --James Agee. The Gold Rush is tinted with color in &BW, is 84x47.12in.; 200x30
