No pretenses given at houses
By Debra West
Staff writer
Cooperative living at KU brings family life and responsibility to students looking for an alternative to apartments or residence halls.
"Living this closely with 30 other people, everyone knows everything about everyone," said Teresa Lawson, member of the Sunflower House, 1406 Tennessee St. "There are no pretenses. You are who you are."
The Sunflower House is home to 30 KU students, both male and female. At the Hillel House, 940 Mississippi St., six Jewish students live together, sharing cooking and grocery shopping duties.
Lawson, the renter at the Sunflower House and a former KU student, said the only requirement was that the students must be willing to cooperate with other residents.
Lawson's responsibilities as renter were conducting house tours for prospective residents and serving on an interview panel that chooses residents.
Each Monday, the residents attend a mandatory meeting. There they decide on house rules, discuss problems and sign up for jobs to do the next week.
Lawson said residents must learn to compromise. For example, when discussing landscape plans for the house, some people wanted to spend the least amount of money, while others were concerned more with the end result of the venture.
Jobs, which take about six hours a week, range from cooking the evening meal for all 30 residents to painting a wall. Lawson said.
Rent is $120 to $165 a month, depending on the size of the room rented, Lawson said. Each resident also pays $35-40 a month for the evening meals the residents eat together. Each resident is responsible for his own breakfast and lunch.
Students interested in living in the Sunflower House can contact the house. They must fill out an application form and are later interviewed by a panel of five house members.
All house members then vote at the weekly meeting whether to accept the prospective member. If the student is accepted, he is required to pass a test on the house handbook.
tions about the house. Lawson said.
Many students have misconcep-
"A lot of people think a bunch of hippies live here, but we have business majors and preppies," she said. "People who live here want to be individuals."
Hillel House offers cooperative living to Jewish students.
Melissa Miller, a two-year resident of Hillet House, said the house could accommodate six students. Rent at the house is $80 a month.
Miller, Overland Park senior, said the residents bought and cooked their own food but usually tried to eat at the same time. They share cleaning responsibilities, and on Fridays they invite other Jewish students to dinner at the house.
Janiece Friedman, adviser to the students at Hillel House, said the house was owned by the University Jewish Student Foundation. The house was bought to provide housing for Jewish students and space for programs and meetings sponsored by Hillel, a KU Jewish organization.
Miller said the requirements for Hilnel House are that the student be Jewish, active in Hilnel and willing to keep a kosher kitchen, meaning meat
