Dye lives in Pearson Scholarship Hall, one of four scholarship halls without air conditioning in private rooms. Dye said he knew the hall had no air conditioning but moved in any way.
Other students in campus housing also are suffering from the warmer climate. Tom Dye, St. Louis freshman, said the heat was taking a toll on his health.

"I got sick, and the heat didn't help," he said. "I couldn't sleep for five nights."
the units altogether, which would be hard because the Towers are occupied all summer," he said.
The age and the framework of the Towers have contributed to the increasing temperatures inside the apartments, he said.
"Brick buildings retain heat, so when the A/C is running, it doesn't retain as well as a newer building," he said.

Three steps to a 4.0 GPA
By Laita Schultes writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Almost 200 students at Alderson Auditorium learned how to get 4.0s last night.
Donna O. Johnson, founder and president of the Guaranteed 4.0 Learning System, said more than 60 percent of those students in attendance would improve their grades.
She said follow-up workshops resulted in 90 percent of students improving their GPAs, by the program's third appearance, the statistic was up to nearly 99 percent.
The 12-year-old program also gives $100 to students who do not earn a 4.0 after going through its three steps.
"If you want to get As,you need to go to class," Johnson said of the first step.
She said not going to class was like paying for food at a restaurant and then not eating.
Johnson said students should sit in the front row so they are distracted less and get to know their teachers more.
The second goal for students should be to know their professors — they are regular people and could be both friends and the keys to a good education, Johnson said.
The third step was keeping up with class.
"Do what you're supposed to do when you're supposed to do it," Johnson said. "You're going to read the material at least 24 hours before you go to class."
Richard, Stephens, Sterling freshman, said curiosity and a willingness to be challenged brought him to the seminar. He said he was not as skeptical of the program as he was its users.
He said he was skeptical that students could actually follow the strict regimen required by the program.
But students such as Deirdre Garry, Kansas City, Mo., junior, planned to do just that. She said she would make an honest effort to bring her grades up.
An honest effort was all Johnson asked.
"Whatever you do, do it 100 percent," she said.
The seminar was sponsored by HAWKLink, a retention program for minority students, as part of Hawk Week.

WATER RESTRICTIONS
As the triple-digit heat wave continues in Lawrence, Provost David Shulenburger has announced steps to conserve water at the University of Kansas. This week, the city asked major users of water to voluntarily reduce their water-use rates. In response to this request, Shulenburger said water conservation was necessary. He sent out a memo yesterday asking that the following steps be taken at the University to help relieve the strain on the city's water supply, purification, distribution and treatment facilities.
Until further notice, the following steps are being taken;
1. Water to various fountains on campus will be shut down by Facilities Operations. These include Chi Omega, Murphy Hall, scholarship halls and Continuing Education fountains.
2. Lawn sprinklers will be shut off at the Pioneer Cemetery, Youngberg Hall, Watkins Memorial Health Center, Campanile hill and Anschutz Science Library.
3. Flower beds will stop being watered with the hope that the perennials might go dormant and survive.
4. The Department of Athletics will reduce water consumption where possible, without sacrificing the safety of student athletes as they practice and compete on the athletic fields.
5. Student housing and the Alumni Center have discontinued watering lawns and shrubbery with the exception of the new plantings.
6. Plantings at the parking garage near Allen Fieldhouse will not be watered.
7. Motor pool will reduce the washing of University vehicles, and Facilities Operations trucks and equipment will not be washed.
8. All residents in student housing are asked to report water leaks in sinks, showers and baths; turn off water while brushing teeth, shaving or shampooing; and wash only full loads in the washing machines.
9. Unit heads are being requested to turn off water faucets, both hot and cold, and to report all leaks directly to Facilities Operations at 864-4770.
10. Faculty and staff using equipment requiring water for cooling should strive to use the minimum amount of water required and should cut the water supply off when not in use.
