When Lisa Stehnö, Hays sophomore,
tells people she lives in a scholarship hall,
she usually gets a knowing look and a reply.
"Oh you study."
Pam Bailey, Douglass senior, said people reacted to her as if she and all other scholarship hall residents did nothing but study.
"That is, if they know what a scholarship hall is." she said
The scholarship halls, four for women and four for men, are behind Fraser Hall on the west side. At Louisiana Street. About 50 students live in each and share cooking, cleaning and laundry.
People who live in scholarship halls are normal, people said Kip Kubin, McPherson校长, a resident of Grace College. The school president of the All Scholarship Hall Council.
I think people who live in scholarship halls tend to be more involved in
everything—student government, clubs in their majors and service organizations," Kubin said.
KUBIN ALSO said that contrary to popular opinion, scholarship hall residents were "remendible partners."
"There are so many different types of people who are in scholarship programs. There are also other range than in any other kind of living group. She lives in Doanh Hartkall and is vice president of the group."
"People always think you have to have a scholarship to live here. They think you're incredibly intelligent and studious—the horn-ripped glasses type," she said.
The stereotypes about scholarship halls come from their name and from the belief that their residents were admitted on the basis of prerequisies only. Stehn said.
ALTHOUGH A STUDENT's grades are considered, there are other criteria for acceptance, according to Fred McElhite, the office of residential programs.
McElhene said a selection committee of McElhene and administration members evaluated student's SAT or ACT score, rank in class, extracurricular activities, financial need, etc.
Despite the stereotyping of scholarship hall residents and a general lack of knowledge about the halls, they are a popular choice for students, according to McElenna. Five times as many students attended from the halls as are accepted, he said.
Scholarship hall members give three hours of study. The balls are less expensive than other living groups, they are close to campus and they offer a secure living environment.
FEES FOR LIVING in scholarship halls
FEES for living at McGill is $300 to $450
to McGill is $450 to $450 less
the room and board fees charged for
KU's residence halls. Two of the
room and board fees are free.
charge $307 a year, but food costs are not included.
Scholarship halls are less expensive than residence halls because the students do most of the housework and maintenance.
Scholarship hall living may not be for everyone, said Battenteld Hall proctor John Young. Otis junior.
"You wouldn't want to live in a scholarship hall if you're not into cooperative living or getting along with people." Youna said.
An advantage to living in a scholarship hall is that residents have control over their lives. Stetho said the residents set up offices and design their own budgets, she said.
The scholarship halls give students a chance to know everyone they live with, according to several members of Battenfeld Hall.
"We're so close knit," said Laura Blair, Shawne freshman and Doutht Hall resident. "We're like a family."

A bill allocating remaining funds from fiscal 1979 and an amendment to the Senate Revenue Code will be discussed at tonight's Student Senate meeting.
The first bill on the agenda requests that the Senate release about $74,000 from FY95 carry-over funds to buy a Winnebago motor Mercedes Benz, and to lease a condominium.
Kx Gardner, liberal arts and sciences senator, Dr Van Papiers, Senate treasurer, and Craig Templeton, Senate administrative assistant, are co-phones of the bill.
They said the bill's purpose was to emphasize that a proposed increase in student activity fees was not necessary.
Margaret Berlin, student body president.
who favors the fee increase, said she hoped the Senate would not spend much time on the bill
"I don't think it deserves debate. I think it is really a silly issue," she said.
THE SECOND ITEM on the agenda is an amendment to the Senate Revenue Code that, if passed, would increase student taxes by $1.30, from $1.10 to $12.40 semester.
the amendment would increase line allocations for seven Senate-funded organizations. The Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee recommended the addition of three Bands, KU Forensics, the Graduate Student Council, KJHK-FM radio, University
Berlin said she thought the proposed allocations could be financed with Senate budget funds and a small student activity fee increase. The plan would improve the fee increase.
Theatre and KU Chamber and Concert Series.
Another fee that could be raised is the Student's student license fee. Geeorge Gomez, student body vice president, has sponsored a bill to increase the fee by $2.00, to $1.50.
THE INCREASE WOULD help cover costs of departmental use by non-students. Berlin said she would make a motion to reduce the increase anywhere from 30 cents
Regents had submitted to the Legislature an increase request of $4,800 for the Kansas education department that would have no incentive to approve the increase if student fees had already covered it.
Other items on the agenda: a bill requesting supplemental funding for the KU Anthropology Center to build the establishment of a memorial to KU alumni who died in the Korean and Vietnam wars; a memorandum to purchase Indian Junior College to purchase KU sports season tickets to college student prizes; and a petition to KU faculty members to extend a central library file of their old exams.
She also said that the Kansas Board of
