Best of Both Worlds Scholarship Houses Offer the College Living Experience As Well As an Escape From Campus | ome students believe that the college experi- ence is incomplete with the absence of dorm life. However, scholarship houses provide an acceptable al- ternative for dorms The Southern Scholarship Foundation offers hous- ing for students who are willing to contribute in a cooperative living en- vironment. The average Foundation student saves about $3,000 on food and housing per year. Therefore, fi- nancial need is a factor in selection, as well as involvement in community and meeting academic standards The Executive Director, Joseph Mizereck, raises funds to support the houses by informing companies and individuals of the Foundation ' s goals and purpose. Most people are impressed by the concept of helping young people who are will- ing to help themselves. No one is interested in giving hand-outs to someone who is unappreciative, says Mizereck. Each student is told who their personal sponsor is, and they are expected to correspond with their sponsors and inform them of their progress. Charlotte Eaton is the Administrative Assistant, and she works closely with each house to be sure everything is running ac- cording to the guidelines. Job titles are given to each mem- ber of a house, and cooking teams are assigned to their cook nights at the beginning of each semester. In addition to the tasks that cor- respond with the students ' titles, each member is given a different cleaning job every week. Jay Holt, a resident of Lastinger House, expressed his view of the work-jobs. Anywhere you live you are going to have to clean up after yourself. At least here the work is divided up among several people. Having good house-mates makes all the difference in the world! exclaimed Joe Keener of Mode L. Stone House. In a dorm you don ' t know them (the res- idents) as well You don ' t have that unity. . The only time prob- lems really occur is when fellow house-mates don ' t fulfill their end of the bargain. Keener remem- bers a time when there were con- flicts because residents would not abide by the rules or have respect for the others ' rights. Now, however, he believes the situation has improved greatly. Wendy Marling of the Pilot House agrees that the most dif- ficult part of living in a scholar- ship house is getting along with so many different people. Making it work is up to the individual ' s attitude. You have to make an honest effort. — Rachel Priest The men of Selby III have become close by participating in several athletic and social events togther George Levesgue and Scott Leaman entertain guests with some guitar music. 30 Student Life
