Shaver Partnership, a Salina architecture firm, is proposing 18 new, four-unit buildings on the northern half of the property. A duplex and a Tudor home on the property also are to be redeveloped to house a maximum of 56 people.
Members of the Alpha Omicron I and Kappa Kappa Gamma sororites wrote letters to the commission supporting the project because they say it may relieve housing problems as recent increases in their memberships.
But some other neighbors are not so enthusiastic.
The commission recently has addressed parking problems at other complexes, such as Colony Woods and the University of Iowa, that house primarily KU students.
Neighbors such as William Mitchell, 1201 Emery Road, who wrote a letter to the commission about the Emery Road proposal, are concerned about the number of cars and increased traffic such a development would bring.
The commission also will proclaim this week "National Arts Week" and proclaim Thursday "The Day of the Great American Smokeout in Lawrence."

University shows off new film
By MICHAEL HORAK
Staff writer
It was a world premiere, but without buttered nooncorn.
Yesterday, the University of Kansas unveiled "Great Faces, Great Places; KU" a 10-minute film, recruited by KU to recruit high school seniors.
About 50 students and faculty attended the screening at the Kansas Union. The film opens with jubilant basketball fans singing the Rock Chalk chant, then focuses on the academic, social and cultural aspects of KU.
The film was a joint project of the offices of admissions and University
were more likely to trust statements from KU students than from a narrator," he said. In the film, five students talk in-depth about their experiences at KU.
"We all know and love how beautiful this campus is, but you'd never know that if you've never seen it," said Lynn Bretz, promotional writer for University Relations, who wrote the script for the film. "This film captures some of that beauty."
Bruce Lindvall, director of admissions, said the film would be shown to students who are thinking about attending KU. He estimated that 10,000 high school seniors would see the film in the next year.
The film, which was shot on six days in September 1966 and May 1987, includes testimonials from KU faculty who say about the benefits of a KU education.
After the screening, Frank Bartheil, electronic media coordinator of the film, said that KU students, who were narrator, were used to tell the story.
Lindvall said members of the admissions staff would show the film when they traveled to Kansas and greater Kansas City area high schools this year.
ACT alters rules for aid eligibility
By NOEL GERDES
Most students who apply for financial aid won't notice the changes in the new 1988-89 financial aid packets, the director of the financial aid office said recently.
Staff writer
Although the new ACT financial aid application forms are similar to last year's, ACT has changed the way it figures financial need, Jerry Rogers, the director, said.
Rogers said that students with dependents applying for financial need would notice the biggest changes.
"The formula is so lenient that if you have money, you'll almost always show financial need," Hefron said.
In the past, ACT calculated expenses for the whole family when figuring the financial needs of students with dependents. Next year, ACT will calculate the expenses specifically for the student. However, expenses later will be able to deduct an allowance for each family member.
Because of the changes, students who have enough money to support their families will be eligible for about as much financial aid as students who do not, said Mark Hefron, ACT assistant vice president for financial aid services.
ACT had to make that change and others in the methods that it uses to determine financial need because Congress has written the new
From now on, Heffron said, students' contributions will be based on the money they earned in the past year.
methods into law in the Higher Education Amendments of 1986, Heffron said.
"For dependent students who had high-paying summer jobs, on the average we expect their contribution about $700," Heffron said.
Another change will affect dependent students and independent students with no dependents. Rogers said that in the past, ACT based the contributions for dependent students and independent students without dependents on their projected earnings for the school year. Students' contributions are the amount they pay themselves for their education.
The new 1988-89 financial aid applications will be available in mid December, Rogers said.
Also, ACT expects contributions or independent students without dependents to double, he said.
Students are automatically classified as independent if they were born before Jan. 1, 1964, or are a ward of the court or a veteran.
He said that students who wanted to be classified as independent should pay careful attention to the application.

Last year, the federal government changed the definition of an independent student, which caused a lot of confusion on the KU campus, he said.
