Tucked away on West Richmond Street in Edinburgh, Scotland, sits a quaint pub known as the Southsider. On the outside it looks like any other drinking establishment of traditional Scottish yore — white paned windows anchored by black and gold lettering above. But on the inside it houses some of the best memories of my study abroad trip to the United Kingdom two summers ago.
As a well-known carabaholic, I was sold on the deadly combo of mac and cheese and chips (American fries). The spectacular meal effortlessly ensured cheesy, gooey noodles, and sweet, plump potato fries. And
It was then we spotted the inviting Southsider pub. As we slid into the green leather-quilted booth, our glasses brimming with frothy European beer, I knew instantly it was somewhere special.
My first encounter with the Southsider came by accident. We were wandering through the winding roads of Edinburgh and decided to stop for a pint, as we often did. When in Scotland, right?
though our travels carried us throughout Scotland, we always found our way back
When my hometown tennis hero Andy Roddick faced off against the muchfavored Scot Andy Murray in the 2009 Wimbledon semi-final, the Southsider was the perfect setting. A few other tennis fans and I sat in the creaking wooden chairs, a plate of steaming fish and chips in front of us, engrossed in the back and forth match.
As 'Merica prevailed with Roddick advancing I whooped in excitement, only to be faced with the locals who were cheering against me. Luckily no brawl ensued, at least one that involved me anyway. (Some gents had a pint too many.) But that's the thing about the Southsider — it stays classy through the occasional ruckus of blokes bickering about sports and politics.
When the trip came to a close, we gathered for one last round of drinks. And as my whiskey cokes seemed to be refilling themselves, the group reminisced in merriment and said goodbye to our beloved pub.
Like my dear affection for the Southsider in Scotland, international students at KU miss certain things about their home country, whether that's food or friends. To see what coming to America is like for them, check out Molly's story on page 8.
Long live the Southsider.

Struttman, a sophomore from Topeka, was given the financial support by the privately-funded Chancellors Club, which awards renewable scholarships to 16 National Merit finalists each year. The club helps recruit top-performing students to the University.
When Evy Struttman received the e-mail that she was going to receive a $20,000 scholarship through the Kansas University Endowment Association last year, she knew immediately that the University of Kansas was the place for her.
HOURS
Struttman was one of more than 6,500 students to receive scholarships last year from the association. In the 2010 fiscal year, which ended June 30, it gave $28.9 million in scholarships as part of the $110.2 million it donated to the University.
"Thanks to this scholarship, I don't have to have a job and I don't have to worry about a huge debt hanging over my head after graduation." Struttman said.

graduation rate is an important goal."
According to Giving USA, an annual report on philanthropy in the United States, contributions to higher education in 2009 declined by 3.6 percent. The Endowment Association was an exception to this trend and had record contributions for the third year in a row. Seuferling credited the desire of the University's alumni and the hard work of the fundraising staff for this accomplishment.
Fiscal year Contributions Number of donors
2010 $110.2 million 45,192
2009 $106.4 million 45,186
2008 $94 million 45,014
2007 $77.7 million 43,403
"With the funding cuts faced by KU due to the reduction in state support, private giving has become even more critical to the University's future." Seufferling said.
In addition to student scholarships, the association funds salaries for distinguished professors, teaching awards and academic programs. It also provides facilities and equipment for the University. In fact, the association has helped to fund more than two-thirds of campus buildings and 85 percent of its land.
Cathy Daicoff, a managing director at Standard and Poor's in New York City, graduated from the University in 1977. She was one of
Gray-Little said one of the first things she noticed when she came to the University last year was its unusually high requirement for graduation. The requirement was set at 124 in 2003 and had not been altered until now.
This year, more than 6,500 students received scholarships from KU Endowment funds. The total amount to $28.9 million.
"The University of Kansas provided me with a superior education," Daicoff said. "I believe we all have a responsibility to make that same education possible for other individuals in the next generation."

the 45,192 donors last year for the University. Daicoff has been donating for more than 25 years and gives to two causes, the Chancellors Club and a scholarship fund in memory of her father, Darwin Daicoff, a former economics professor at the University.
Nick Benson will be given the Student Sustainability Leadership Award for his program that recycles old printer ink cartridges.
