Benefits to apartment life include recreation facilities
Off-campus housing popular
One look at Stanton Generalovich lounging on an air mattress on a 90-plus degree day, and it's easy to tell what he likes about his apartment complex.
"The pool," he said.
Generalovich, Sarasota, Fla., senior, has lived in Meadowbrook Apartments for the last eight months. Like many KU students, he has discovered that there are advantages and drawbacks to apartment living. For better or worse, Lawrence apartment complexes are quickly filling up for the fall semester.
"We're pretty much full," said Julie Gibler, leasing agent at Meadowbrook. "Right now, we're asking people who've leased for August to call and confirm, and then we'll offer what's left."
Many students, like Generalovich, are willing to pay more money to live in apartments off campus in order to have the access to recreational facilities such as swimming pools, jacuzzis and workout rooms. They pay anywhere from $390 per month to $800.
Another factor in the decision to live off campus is the freedom from rules and regulations that come with living in a residence hall.
However, students find that one drawback to living off campus is adapting to the hourly bus schedule.
Still, if the speed at which apartment complexes are filling up is any indication, bus rides are not a problem to those wanting to live off campus.
"You have to get on the bus about 45 minutes before your class because of all the stops," Generalovich said.
"We're about 99 percent full for August," said Wendy Christiansen, leasing agent at Quail Creek, 2111 Kasold Dr.
Marsha Krone, manager of Colony Woods, said that she had been leasing apartments for August since January.
For some people, however, peace and quiet was more appealing than recreational facilities.
Ellen Kimmel, KU alumna, lived in large complexes as an undergraduate, but she now lives in a small complex on Kentucky Street.
"There are so many freshmen and sophomores living in the larger complexes," she said.
Kimmel said she prefers the atmosphere of her current residence.
"I like my apartment," she said. "I don't feel like moving again."
Beatles come together to finish Lennon tapes
The Associated Press
LONDON — A report of a Beatles reunion was true,
but months out of date.
Paul McCartney's representative, Geoff Baker, said yesterday that McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr did record together — but in March, not three weeks ago.
The Daily Express reported in Monday's editions that the three surviving members of the Fab Four got together in a London recording studio about three weeks ago.
"This has already been reported," Baker said. "The Daily Express reporter wouldn't know a story if it stood up and hit him in the face."
McCARTNEY said then that the recording session wasn't quite like starting over for Paul, George and Ringo.
He said the three worked on an unreleased song by their late bandmate, John Lennon, when they went back into an English studio to record the soundtrack for a TV documentary.
"We just pretended that he'd gone on holiday, as if he'd said 'Just finish it up, I trust you. Just do it,' McCartney told reporters in March. "We just treated it like any old track the Beatles might have done."
But it wasn't, he admitted. "It was kind of spooky, really."
