The fraternity is renting a house at 1101 Ohio St, and 14 members live there. Adam Berman, a fraternity member, said 25 would move into the new house on Jan. 10.

Students attempt life in fast lane

Minutes later, the Washburn University

Rick Nichols, sporting a black racing jacket and designer sunglasses, stepped out of his blue BMW and sauntered over to race headquarters.
Behind the wheel of a $13,000 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z. Nichols yesterday applied his driving prowess to a one-fifth mile miterent course at Potter Pavilion.
Clocking in at 20.057 seconds, Nichols earned a spot in the finals of the Third Annual National Collegiate Driving Championship, which made its first-ever pit stop at the University of Kansas this weekend.
IN MARCH, 80 student drivers from across the country will compete at the finals in Daytona Beach, Fla. The top prize is a $5,000 scholarship and one year's use of a Dodge Daytona Z. which features a turbo-charged, fuel-injected engine
About 275 students competed in the KU preliminary of the driving championship, sponsored by the Dodge Division of the KU racing team at time undergraduate student was eligible.
"You've got to be relaxed and be as smooth as possible." he said.
Nichols attributed his victory to agility and finesse.
FOR THE PAST two years, Nichols has driven in autocross races, which use courses similar to the one at Potter Lake. The race starts on a turn and accelerates at the precise moments without knocking over any of the orange pylons on the parking lot course.
To compete, a student had to show race officials a student identification card and a data record.
The competition promotes safe driving habits - such as using seat belts - while putting students into the limelight of auto racing for a few fleeting seconds, he said.

TRAVELING AT SPEEDS of up to 20 mph, the competitors eased around tight curves, often narrowly avoiding the dreaded pylons. Only the car itself hindered their driving ability. The car's gear shift lever was locked into first gear.

Then, plopping himself down on the plush, burgundy-colored driver's seat in the black Daytona provided at the competition, Anderson showed a cassette tape by the rock group AC/DC into the car's stereo.
For Jim Huntington, Hutchinson freshman, the competition offered a grand departure from the days when he raced go-carts.
EVEN THOUGH HE put himself into the mood for the competition, Anderson, with a time of 27.509, was not heralded by his friends as the new Mario Andretti. Nonetheless, he still felt a thrill in defeat when he won "for" he said.
In fact, the race set his nerves on edge. "I'm shaking a little bit," Huntington said after he turned in a time of 22,310. "I kept him undercover and covers under the tires. It was fun, though."
And that was one of the aims of the competition, said John Heeney, Student Union Activities Board member repre-

Hazing hurts Greek system adviser says
By BRENDA STOCKMAN Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
He's seen it from the inside and the outside. His conclusion: Hazing of fraternity and sorority pledges is detrimental to the Greek system.
"It's the concept that's on trial," Westol said. "It's the philosophy and mind set that says we have the right to abuse our new members."
Dave Westel, a nationally known speaker on the Greek system, is out to eradicate hazing. On Saturday he made his plea to members of the Woolfruit Auditorium of the Kansas Union.
THROUGH HIS presentation, "Hazing on Trial," Westal said the harms of hazing overpowered any alleged benefits. The speech, which opened Greek Week 1984, was sponsored by the Interfraternity Council, the Association and Black Panflelenic Council.
Westol described pledges being coerced to drink excessive amounts of alcohol and then being forced to do exercises to become sick. Westol also said he had a fraternity and living through "hell week."
"This is exactly, down to the last detail, what I went through." he said about his description. "I'm so embarrassed I did this stuff."
Westol is an assistant prosecuting attorney for the county criminal trials division in Kalamazoo, Mich. He also is national vice president of the grand chapter of The Chi praterity.
"We don't know about it until an active who is fed up reports it, which is rare, or a set of pledges walks in and says, 'We've had someone else be peer pressure to not do that is tremendous.'
NO DANGEROUS HAZING has been reported at the University of Kansas for several years. But Art Farmer, assistant director for organizations and adviser to the Interfraternity Council, said hazing was always a concern.
"I hate doing this session," Westol said. "It makes me sick to my stomach, but if I can convince just one of you to go back and say, "No more abuse. then I've reached my goal."
Westol said he had hazed pledges in his fraternity when he was a member. But he said he changed his mind about hazing's value when he became a fraternity adviser after he graduated from Michigan State University.
Westol described how a pledge at one school drowned on his own vomit while doing push-ups after being forced to drink a large amount of alcohol.
HE TOLD ABOUT pledges lying on their backs and having eggs dropped into their mouths from third-story balconies. He said sometimes yelled and screamed at the pledges.
When the speech was over, Bill Wiedeman,
Interfraternity Council president, said, "I've never experienced anything like it."
Westol said that although the frequency and incidence of reports varied throughout the country, hazing was still a concern.
MU prof practices administrative role at KU
Bv MARY CARTER
Staff Reporter
Some might say Sandra Gautt is caught in the middle.
She has three degrees from the University of Missouri at Columbia and is on leave as an associate professor of education there. During her leave, she's working as an administrative intern in the office of Chancellor Gene A. Budig.
"I're getting teased somewhat from both sides," she said with a laugh. "But in spite of my having been affiliated with MU, people here have been very open."
GAUTT IS AN American Council on Education fellow, and will spend this academic year observing and participating
"It's an opportunity to get a different perspective, a chance to get away for a year," she said.
About 35 ACE fellows are selected each year in a national competition. Each fellow works with a mentor, usually the chief administrator of the host school, and serves as a liaison to active activities. Fellows also attend three ACE seminars and write an analytical report.
experience is structured is the attempt to keep us fluid," she said. "That way, we're able to take advantage of the opportunities as they arise.
"I've learned to write on my calendar in penelit instead of ink," she said.
Gautt said she chose KU because she wanted to work at a school that was a comprehensive state school like Missouri — but also different.
in administration processes in the chancellor's office.
"Missouri is a land grant school, and KU is
not," she said. "I wanted some degree of
education."
"The ACE has an outline series of objectives — a learning contract," Gault said. "We observe and participate in a wide variety of administrative activities. It's not like we have just one project or a particular role."
GAUTT BECAME INTERESTED in university administration through her work in a federal grant program and her involvement in faculty committees at MU.
The purpose of the fellowship is to prepare future university administrators, but Gautt doesn't yet envision herself in a specific university role.
being able to spend a year doing only that," she said. "If it's frustrating many times, when you're trying to teach and conduct research you need to deal with ongoing committee assignments."
"This is an opportunity to have access to a whole institution," she said. "To focus too much on research."
GAUTT SAID HER reception in Lawrence,
not only at KU, has been surprisingly warm.
"ONE OF THE advantages of the way this
not only at a place, has been so prisonly warrior
"I have been really amazed," she said. "At the University, I expected people to be fairly friendly. But even in stores downtown, people are interested and talkative. That is very gratifying."
"I was interested in gaining broader exposure to administrative functions and
