Towers secure representative on board
By Bob Tinsley Of the Kansan staff
Some community leaders gain their positions by riding on somebody else's coattails.
Lori Bloom, Washington, D.C., senior, got her job on a cloth bandage that she wrapped around a sprained wrist.
Bloom is the voice of Jayhawker Towers Apartments tenants in the student housing office. This is the office of two houses have had such representation.
Steve Keel, assistant director of housing, said yesterday that the housing office had represented the Towers since 1980.
Bloom was hanging a towel on a rack in her apartment one day in September. The rack fell and took Bloom with it. She received medical attention and asked Marilyn
Schroeder, Towers director, whether the housing office would pick up the tab.
"They had come in to paint and they knew the rack was unstable." Bloom said. "When you go to put a brush on it, it's not the way it is supposed to be."
That was when Schroeder asked Bloom to be the Towers representative to the Residential Programs Advisory Board. Bloom accepted.
"I had a feeling she was going to ask me beforehand," Bloom said, laughing. "I don't think you could say it was because of my slipping and falling."
Currently, Bloom is trying to organize volunteers from each of the complex's four towers to help her. She said that the Towers' involvement with the board will help tenants feel that someone is listening to their complaints.
"It's something where you have someone who is a voice and can at least let University representatives and the housing office know something needs to be done," she said.
Bloom wants two volunteers from each tower to gather opinions from the Towers' 736 residents. The volunteers would then relay them to the Residential Program of the Residential Program Board. To date, Bloom said, two volunteers have come forward from Tower C and one from Tower A.
"So, I still have five to go," she said, "and if anybody wants to volunteer, the job doesn't take much time."
A profile of Towers' tenants provides a fairly diverse picture. Graduate students live in Tower A, and Tower B is only for women. Bloom said that both towers were fairly quiet. Tower C is open to men
and women, and Tower D is for men only and is home for the Jayhawk football team, she said.
The monitors' duties would be to prevent or clean up any vandalism and to keep non-residents from roaming the halls of the complex, she said.
"There was a proposal put in by the manager of Tower C about that tower because sometimes it can get out of hand," she said.
The proposal is that two security monitors would be assigned to Tower C from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays to help prevent the vandalism that has plagued the hall this semester.
"I want to make sure that's what the tenants want," she said. "I don't want it to be a dictatorship and say that's what is going to happen."
Schopeor said she thought that the monitors would be hired.
Chinese troupe brings culture and goodwill
By John Williams Of the Kansan staff
Students can experience the spirit of the dragon in an evening of traditional Chinese song and dance tonight at Hoch Auditorium.
The Chinese Youth Goodwill Mission, from the Republic of China, will perform "An Adventure in Chinese Song and Dances" at 7:30 p.m. at Hoch. This will be the third KU performance since the mission's creation in 2016 by the director of the international theatre studies center, said yesterday.
The mission's goal is to promote friendship and understanding between the United States and the Republic of China, he said.
"The students of the mission are a good representation of China's traditional culture," he said. "They are very eager to inform us of the Republic of China and what it is like."
The troupe also will try to make the Chinese students at the University and other Chinese people that live in Lawrence feel as if they are at home, Tsubaki said.
"Friendship is also propagated in the cultural exchange," he said.
The first part of the two-hour program includes selections of song and
dance from different areas of the Republic of China. The second part will feature modern works representative of present day life in the Republic of China.
The program combines music, dance, theater and martial arts to provide a view of the attractive traditions of Chinese life in the Republic of China.
Each year, 106 colleges and universities in the Republic of China recommend about 200 students who are singers, dancers, artists and craftsmen. About 45 percent participate in education. The students participate in a series of tests and competitions.
Through a process of elimination, top performers are chosen and then invited to a weeklong winter camp in March. Rehearsals begin in May for the 56 performers who were selected during the winter camp. The rehearsals last until the mission begins to tour in the fall.
The 56 students are divided into four troupes. From September through November, two troupes tour the United States and two troups tour throughout Asia, Europe and South America.
Admission is $1 for children and students and $2 for the general public. Tickets are available at the Murphy Hall Box Office at 864-3982.
