"Below us are a lot of freshmen who are away from home for the first time. I don't think they know what studying really is yet. We're scared that there is going to be too much noise to study."
Chuck Schwegler, Lawrence freshman, said — as he adjusted the volume on his stereo — that he wasn't worried about the graduate students' complaints.
"They can complain all they want," Schwegler said. "This is Country Club Week — we're going to be loud before classes start. I'm here for school."
but until then, I'm going to have some fun."
However, Moore said the graduate students wanted their own hall.
"We don't need anything special," he said. "I think JRP (Joseph R. Pearson) Hall would be an ideal spot. It's closer to the library."
Moore said the students in JRP, an all-male residence hall that could house 400, could move into McColum. JRP would be reserved for upperclassmen and graduate students and would be open year around.
Meanwhile, the graduate students and upperclassmen say they felt outnumbered.
"Freshmen do freshmen things," said Jo Ellen Kerksiek, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student. "I don't hate freshmen. I just don't expect them to understand. Last night, I about got run over in the elevator by a guy on a skateboard.
"I've lived with freshmen. I don't want to live with them anymore."
Demotion

Rumsey filed a counter motion Aug 15 challenging Prewitt's request.
Prewitt said Fenstemaker had not followed proper procedure in filing suit. Fenstemaker should first have gone through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission before assuming he had cause for action to file under a U.S. civil rights code, she said.
Courts do not have jurisdiction over a civil rights employment case until the commission has reviewed it, she said.
In Prewitt's motion to dismiss the suit, she cited several federal and
state cases in an attempt to prove that the University is not viciously liable for the actions of its employees, such as alleged actions by Kearns.
Fenstemaker had 300 days to file a complaint with the commission and failed to meet that deadline, Prewitt said.
Although Prewitt cites court rulings that say states and their agencies are not persons, and therefore cannot be sued as such, Rumsey cites a case that says states can be considered persons.
Testing

nent suspension is also possible. The final approval for permanent suspension is left to Monte Johnson."
All records are erased at the end of each academic year and the athlete is given a clean start — unlike the old policy, which accumulated all test scores from year to year.
Hunter said the department had received no complaints from athletes about the drug policy.
"The athletes are very understanding." Hunter said.
Each athlete must sign a consent to be tested for the use of drugs that are prohibited by the department. If an
athlete refuses to sign the consent, the athlete doesn't become a member of the team.
"If you say 'no' (to the tests), you're just admitting to taking drugs," said Wayne Ziegler, Nickerson senior and defensive safety. "If you're playing a sport for either a college or professionally, you're representing someone.
"It's a privilege to play for a college. You abuse that privilege if you use drugs."
Some athletes also feel that the drug tests give them a chance to prove they don't use drugs.

battled for first — and last — place. The Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity took first with a time of 11 minutes and six seconds.
The Whaler, a pirate's vessel created by nailing two canoes together, sported a seven-foot mast with a bedsheet stenciled with the fraternity's letters as a sail. On the top of the mast, a stuffed Tweety Bird with an eye patch was perched in a red bucket.
A red, inflatable La Choy dragon sat on the bow of the boat as a lookout and beer holder.
The TKE members dressed the part. Along with red TKE shirts and shorts, each person wore a black eye patch and a Long John
Silver's pirate hat.
The TKE's even christened the boat in proper fashion — with a bottle of beer.
"We're very proud of it," said Whaler captain Mike Morak, Emporia junior. "We had a lot of enthusiasm and a great team."
Horak said the people who worked on the boat the most got to be the crew members.
Kent Gilbert, Kansas City, Kan. senior, and part of the TRE's shore support group, said events such as this help the house's moral.
"It get's everyone excited about the new year," he said.
Petry said the race was a success. He said that he had expected more participation from fraternities and sororities but that the race came before some houses had had their first meetings.
Marines We're looking for a few good men.
Leadership is a tenet, a doctrine, a heritage that has been central to the Marine Corps for over 200 years. True leadership is an art. It is influence and direction of people with resulting obedience, respect, confidence, and loyal cooperation.
No one is born a leader. No classroom or graduation certificate confers leadership. It evolves in the crucible of necessity, formed from the basic elements of observation, experience, and emulation.
Above and beyond all the firm, concrete things the Marine Corps can offer a young man or woman...the physical training, academic advancement, meaningful employment. economic security. a variety of broading experiences and travel..our most valuable
commodity is merely an opportunity. The chance to grasp, understand and hold dear the meaning of leadership. From that base all else follows.
It's no small task. You are expected to set your sights on a position of responsibility in an elite force of extraordinary people. Some say the world's finest military organization.
You must prove you've got what it takes...that you want it bad enough to work for it. That you're good enough to be one of us. We make many demands and only one promise: Deliver the goods and you'll be welcome as an officer of Marines.
The choice is yours. We invite you to contact your officer selection officer at the number listed.
For the opportunity to have something to be and not just something to do.
