Med Center Union is home
By Stefani Day Of the Kansan staff
Almost 50 women live in the student union at the University of Kansas Medical Center
A little-known residence hall occupies the fourth and fifth floors of the Student Union Building at the Med Center in Kansas City, Kan., an inexpensive, convenient home with a high rent has become standard.
However, the rooms don't have kitchens, and they are available only to women.
Having no kitchen is a small sacrifice compared to the advantages of living on campus and in the union, several residents said.
"I'd like to have a kitchen, but you can't have everything." Paula Bratton. Shawnee senior, said she had $75 a month, you cannot complain.
Two women share most rooms
and each pays $75 a month, said Deanna Slaughter, housing manager. Three single rooms are available for a higher fee, she said.
Slaughter said interest in the residence hall was high and she kept a waiting list with about 50 names. Occasionally, a student won't show up in the fall or ends up not liking the hall or committing to it. In that case, Slaughter said in that case, the next person on the waiting list can move in.
For an *n*th cost $7.50 a month, the residents can rent a refrigerator: Many keep food in their rooms and portable kitchen appliances.
Janet Wickenheiser, Fargo,
N.D., junior, said she and her
roommate cooked their meals in a
crockpot or toaster oven.
"It's not too bad," she said. "We use our imagination."
A questionable asset, according to some of the women, is the policy
of keeping the hall locked. The union is always open, but access to the fourth and fifth floors is possible only with a key.
Bratton said the tight security was annoying sometimes because no one could get in without a key. Guests must call up and be met by a resident.
"It's inconvenient sometimes, but it's what you have to do to have security," said Mary McCarthy, Manhattan senior.
The good far outweighs the bad, residents said. Advantages include a fitness room, study lounge and cafeteria in the union, as well as a tunnel system that connects many campus buildings.
"We never have to go outside.
We never have to wear a coat."
said Andrea Olson, Eagle Grove,
Iowa, junior.
"We've got it made," Wickenheiser said.
Board won't back state lottery
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The State Board of Education refused to endorse a statewide lottery today as it approved a list of proposals that board members want to promote during the 1986 session of the Kansas Legislature.
"I think we're seeing more and more support for a lottery," Carey said. "And I think we should get the help we need, so they should directly benefit education."
A motion to endorse a lottery failed on a 6-4 vote even after board member Dale Carey, of Princeton, sought to have the board's resolution call for directing all revenues from a lottery to Kansas' public schools.
The action came one day after Attorney General Robert T. Stephan endorsed passage of a lottery measure that would raise $40 million for the state. A resolution that would allow voters to decide in November 1968 whether to implement a lottery was approved in the Senate during the
Clark Coan, associate dean of student life and director of foreign student services, said yesterday that last fall there were 1,627 foreign students enrolled at KU. This fall, he said, 1,646 foreign students were enrolled. Four years ago, the number was in the 1500s, he said.
The Institute of International Education reported Tuesday that 342,113 foreign students were enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities last year.
Influx of foreign students to KU is stable
*Last fall, KU was ranked the 38th-highest university in number of foreign students that were
Although a record high number of foreign students were enrolled in U.S. colleges last year, KU enrollment figures for foreign students have remained about the same for the past three years.

Coan said KU didn't recruit foreign students because more than enough enrolled each year.
"The pool of applications from foreign students is very large," he said. "We have no quota, but if students are eligible and have the money, they can be admitted."
enrolled," Coan said. "Of our total enrollment, 6.6 percent are foreign students."
Admission isn't easy, though, because the criteria for foreign students are strict.
"About 15,000 foreign students apply every year," Jim Stinson, foreign student admissions officer, said. "About 250 are admitted."
Coan said out of 97 foreign countries represented at KU, Malaysia had the highest number of natives enrolled. Nationally, the institute reported, Malaysia came in second with 21,720 students enrolled in U.S. universities. The Republic of China had the most —22,590.
Roland Khoo, Sabah, Malaysia, senior, said he came to KU because there were only three or four universities in his country.
Khoo said getting into those universities was "very competitive."
"It's hard to get into universities in Malaysia," he said. "In Malaysia, the people are either Chinese or Malay. The government is run by Malaysians, and Chinese are considered minority."
However, board member Marion "Mick" Stevens, of Wichita, said he thought schools in states that currently have lotteries are financially better off than Kansas schools.
Khoo, who is Chinese, said he came to KU because it was one of the colleges recognized by the Malaysian government.
"But the only way I can possibly support a lottery is if 100 percent of the revenue goes to education," Stevens said.
Henry Lim, Sarawak, Malaysia senior and pharmacy major, said he came to KU because it had one of two U.S. schools of pharmacy recognized by the government. The University of Wisconsin is the other, he said.
1985 session. It now awaits action in the House when the Legislature convenes in January.
Items approved in the board's legislative wish list include a request that the Legislature consider increasing the sales tax, income tax or "other appropriate revenue sources" to support education in Kansas.
Few lottery opponents on the state board argued against it during discussion of the matter. However, board member Kathleen White, of Johnson County, said she thought education programs in the state would get a bigger boost from an increase in the sales tax.
The board called for lawmakers to approve instruction of children in their homes, provided that a home teacher pass a test the board has approved and that the home school be maintained for the same length of time as public schools.
White added that it might be two years before the lottery would provide any revenue while a sales tax could generate revenue far earlier.

Connie Hubbell, a board member from Topeka, said she thought linking all lottery revenues to education would be asking too much.
"I think we're expecting a great deal if we expect all that money to go to education," she said.
