years ago, I didn't know if I still wanted to do this. But now, I'm graduating and I'm thinking that this is what I want to do."
Both Stringer and Bowles said the job had its drawbacks.
If a body is on display in the funeral home, they cannot cook food until after 9 p.m. because the owners want food odors floating around the home while people visit, Stringer said.
They said, however, that they have ordered pizzas when they can't make it until 9 p.m. But many times the pizza places call back to see whether a pizza delivery order to the funeral home is just a prank call.
Although friends sometimes come over to study or visit, Bowles and Stringer said they had never had any parties at the home. Most of the time, they go somewhere else to socialize with their friends.
Both said that they had no regrets about their unusual living and working arrangement.
Voting

said. The money will come from the Student Senate elections budget. The Senate approved paying poll workers last month.
Another cost will be computerized ballots, similar to forms for standardized tests, on which students will darken the ovals on the forms.
At the polls, students will cast at least two ballots, some as many as four.
Everyone will vote for president and vice president, as well as senators from their school. Students living in residence halls will vote for a residence hall senator, and offspring of those five senators to represent them.
Some students also will be selecting a non-traditional senator, Shirtlile said.
The definition of non-traditional is someone who is older than 24, is married, has children, commutes 10 or more miles to campus or is a veteran.
Students must show their KUIDs. Double-majors may vote in either school.
PARIS — A pro-Syrian Lebanese extremist group announced yesterday the imminent release of a French diplomat it had been holding since March 1985, but the deadline passed without any word that the hostage had been freed.
French diplomat has yet to be released
An anonymous caller claiming to represent the Revolutionary Justice Organization told the pro-Muslim newspaper As Safir in Beirut that Marcel Carton would be freed at 12:15 a.m. Beirut time (4 p.m. CST) because he is in poor health,
French state-run television stations said.

Several hours after that deadline there was no indication whether the diplomat had been released.
The announcement by the pro-Syrian group came hours after the French Foreign Ministry said France and Iran had signed an agreement for France to pay back $330 million loan by Tehran before the 1979 Islamic revolution which ousted Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi.
A Foreign Ministry spokesman said the government was trying to
confirm the report of Carton's imminent release. "We have no information at the moment," he said, " We're trying to check it. As you know, communications with Beirut are very difficult."
The television broadcasts at 11 p.m. Paris time (4 p.m. CST), citing reports from Beirut, said the Revolutionary Justice Organization would free Carton at Beirut's Beaurivage Hotel, headquarters of Syrian military intelligence and cease-fire observers in West Beirut.
Christian Graeff, French Ambassador to Lebanon, was expected
at the hotel.
Carton's kidnapping had been claimed by the pro-Iranian Islamic Jihad, not the little-known Revolutionary Justice Organization. The organization said Carton was suffering unspecified health problems and was being freed for humanitarian reasons.
Earlier, a spokesman said French Foreign Minister Jean-Bernard Raimond and Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Velayati signed the agreement separately in Paris and Teheran over the last few days.
British officials investigate stockbroker
United Press International
LONDON — Paralleling the insider-trading scandal in the United States, British government officials yesterday investigated trading by a prominent broker in the city of London.
Like Ivan Boesky, the U.S. arbitrageur who last week agreed to pay a $100 million Securities and Exchange Commission fine, Collier's downfall was insider trading. Insider trading is using information not available to the public to make a profit by buying or selling the stock of the company affected by the news.
Two trade department inspectors appointed last weekend began an investigation of Geoffrey Collier, a senior broker who was sacked last week from Morgan Grenfel, one of Britain's most respected investment banks.
Insider trading has been a criminal offense in Britain since 1980. The maximum penalty is two years jail and a fine.
changed, but should make it easier to catch offenders.
Rules enacted Friday leave the penalties un-
Now a government inspector can take evidence on oath from anyone suspected of insider trading, Refusal to cooperate can be taken as evidence of guilt, reversing the rule of English law that an accused is innocent until proven guilty.
The government moved quickly on the Collier case because it is the first scandal since the Big Bang — the revolutionary deregulation of the London securities markets — three weeks ago.
