University Daily Kansan / Mondav. August 27. 1990 5b Wichita senior Mark Heildebrecht, an Oliver Hall resident assistant, organized the files in his room in Oliver Hall last week. Residence halls operate orderly check-in By Tracey Chalpin Kansan staff writer Students arrived at residence halls Aug. 19 at a steady, organized pace rather than in the usual manner. LeeAnna Lamb, residence hall director at McCollum Hall, said no major problems occurred during "Usually, 70 to 70 percent show up within the first ten hours." Lamb said. "This year went more seamlessly." Frank Harwood, residence hall director at Oliver Hall, said Oliver missed heavy crowding as well. He said many students arrived Monday through Wednesday. Harwood said one reason for the staggered check-in could be that students who had later checked in were not present. Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said attractions of some halls caused them to populate more quickly than others. Because of personalities and experiences, there were special requests for each of them. Stoner said there would always be special requests for Gertrude Sellards Pearson Corbin Hall because women participating in sorority rush thought it was where they should live. "Also, when girls have had mothers who went through rush and lived there and grandmothers who went through rush who lived there; there is a greater demand," he said. Stoner said that many men requested McColum Hall and that international students preferred McColum because of its services and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Joseph R. Pearson Hall tends to have many engineers and architects, while Hashinger Hall has always been the residential center for the creative arts, he said. Stoner said that JRP, GSP Corbin and the male wines of McColm bad waiting lists. Stoner said the remaining availability of female rooms at McCollum had helped fill last-minute Deb Mebler, residence hall director at Ellsworth Hall, said that because getting to know people in an unfamiliar place could be awkward and difficult, residence halls offered activities last week revolving around relaxed forms of playing and eating. Activities planned for last week included games at Pioneer Cemetery, grade-school games in back of the hall and a Sunday picnic. Miller said resident assistants would stress Hawk Week activities to get their floor members Sandy Hill, general manager of Naismith Hall, said she wished Naismith had a waiting list. Even after the weekend rush, the second and fourth floors remain vacant at Naiumshi. HI1 said "We'll probably rent that to athletic groups or conference groups, she said. "We did a good job." This year, Naimish had a 50 percent increase in returning students from last year. Hill said Naismith's "dine anytime" food program, which allows students to have flexible eating hours from breakfast to dinner, and the hall's tither floor, a separate space for meals, are appealing to returning students. Hill said Honors students choose diversity Kansan staff writer By Monica Mendoza The floor has been reserved for 80 students in the program. Students in the honors program this semester looking for cultural diversity may have found it on their trail. Ken Stoner, director of housing, said diversity was a component of placing the honors floor, called the College Honors Program Residence, in McColium, 1800 Engel Road. "One of the reasons they wanted the honors floor to be in McCollum was because of the large number of international students that live here," Stoner said. Karen Gaun, Albuquerque, N.M., freshman, said it would be easy to find someone study with and experience in the job. Michael Young, an adviser in the honors program, said there had been a desire among students in the honors program to create a living environment that would place more emphasis on studying. Young said that that the environment the faculty in the honors program had wanted set up for a long time. But more important, students would be involved in the multi-cultural environment at McCollum Honors floor residents relax in their new lobby on the eighth floor of McColium Hall. Young said the students on the floor would have he advantage of studying together and forming a team. experience the larger community of the entire hall. Young said honors students were expected to demonstrate a serious commitment to their studies. They must maintain a grade point average of 3.25 in order to stay in the program. honors program received an application in the mail to be on the floor. All the space this year is "It's a nice mix," Young said. "There are at least eight international students on the floor." He said most of the students who signed up to live on the floor were freshmen. Young said students who were enrolled in the Welcome Back KU Students!
