"The counselor helps me out with things such as where and when to get advised or how to get in touch with teachers — things dealing with the University," Hamilton said.
Another new component of the program is a monthly party at which all 70 group members and the nine group counselors meet. The group recently had a Halloween party.
Julia Eklund, a Kansas City, Kan. senior who is a counselor in the program, said that although the program required more than 10 hours a week on the part of group leaders, there were no requirements regarding what goes on during that time.
Sala said the office was trying to change the image of the program.
The program is designed to match incoming minority students who may have trouble coping academically and socially at KU with students familiar with the University, Sala said.
Hamilton said that minority students can sometimes be overwhelmed by the impersonal nature of the University.
Last summer, Tuere Sala, Seattle, Wash., law student, was hired to head the program from the office of minority affairs. She said that besides the addition of a full-time graduate student, the primary change in the program was the increased time commitment now required from all participants.
Changes in the peer counseling program for incoming minority students will increase the help available to those students, the program director said yesterday.

"What we talk about most is just social, friend-type stuff. It's a little like having a big brother away from home."
Peer counseling program to increase commitment
"We're getting away from this idea that the peer counselor is an adviser or counselor," she said. "In the past, there was a distance between the new student and the counselor. We've

The program places nine upper-class counselors, or "friends," with a group of seven or eight incoming students, who are mostly freshmen. Sala said that counselors helped students become familiar with the University and often would informally tutor students in classes.
tried to take away that image."
This fall, incoming students involved with the peer counseling program must spend at least one hour a week individually with their peer counselor and another hour a week with the entire group, she said. The groups meet both semesters.
In the past, the counselors decided how much time a group would spend together, she said. Thus, the committees the incoming student often was light.
Christopher Hamilton, Kansas City, Kan, sophomore, transferred from Kansas City, Kan. Community College this fall. He said the extra meeting time had helped him become closer to his group leader.
"I really appreciate the time to talk to my group leader," he said.

Of its $450,000 share, KU netted only $415,000 after paying bills, Wachter said.
That money will be put back into the athletic department and used for the financing of smaller programs, Wachter said.
OU received the same amount that KU received, K-State received $958,539, and Missouri and Iowa State each got $293,635.
Bob Frederick, KU athletic director, said the benefits KU netted in the tournament weren't undervolerable as people might think.
"There's a big misconception that we got some sort of huge windfall," Frederick said. "But we didn't, not by any means."
Wachter said tournament schools sometimes got the short end of the deal.
"It doesn't seem very fair," Wachter said. "But that's just the
way it works. It's part of being part of the conference. But I'm sure Oklahoma and Nebraska feel the same way when they go to bowl games and have to pay for expenditures that they have incurred, and we get money also."
The money situation, however, tends to work itself out because schools that aren't strong in one sport can contribute in another sport, Wachter said.
sport. well.
Sales from T-shirts, programs and other items help schools recuperate from tournament debts, but those totals are hard to measure, she said.
The basketball championship rings to be awarded to the team at this weekend's KU-KState game will cost roughly $300 apiece, Wachter said. The rings commemorate the national championship and will be awarded by the athletic department.
Wachter said the Big Eight distribution policy was a smaller version of the NCAA's. The money is totalled and divided among its member schools.
Wachter said the NCAA took in roughly $75 million from the tournament and divided it among the 64 tournament institutions.
The distribution system isn't only for tournament money; it works for all revenue sports.
This year, the conference received about $100,000 less per school because of a reduction in the number of televised conference football games, Wachter said.
KU expects $850,000 from conference football revenue in the spring, not including $200,000 in football television revenue and a $100,000 College Football Association distribution, she said.
KU bridge players will have a chance today to trump their way to Reno, Nev., and Nottingham, England.

Bridge is back again; KU hosts tournament
steven Nixon, president of the bridge club, said that players who entered the tournament as a pair would be guarded play but that single-person entries would be considered.
The KU Bridge Club will play host to a regional competition in the North American College Institute Bridge Championship at 7 p.m. in Alcove A of the Kansas Union. The entry fee is $4.
Sandi Clark of the American Contract Bridge League, the tournament's sponsor, said from her home in Memphis, Tenn., that the tournament was an attempt to bring bridge back into popularity at colleges.
"Bridge seemed to die out on the campuses," she said. "We're trying to get it going again."
Clark said that 35 schools were competing in the tournament. The schools are separated into five conferences, with KU in the central conference, which includes six teams.
The league has been sponsoring the tournament for three years.
The five conference winners and one at-large team, the team that receives the highest score after the conference winners, will receive an all-expense paid trip to Reno, Nev., from March 17 to 19, to play for the title of North American Collegiate Bridge Champion.
The winning team will go next fall to Nottingham, England, for the World Junior Championships.
