 So V Living on a budget Housing costs emphasize money crunch (joing to college often poses the problem of finding somewhere inex- pensive to live that's close to school and, on almost any university campus, there are many such places to choose from: the dorms, a fraternity or sorority house, at home with parents, an apart- ment, a house or a trailer. We ail have to admit that a college student's budget is the main considera- tion in attempting to locate living ac- commodations while attending school.

Most members of greek organizations think that living in frater- nity or sorority houses is cheaper than other places because they pay one price per month which includes electricity, gas, water and trash service and usually some type of meal plan. At the Sigma Sigma Sigma house, there's always someone around. You learn how to get along in a big group and respect other people ' said Sharon Maloney, Prairie Village junior. Even though living in a rental house is considerably more advantageous than most other types of living accom- modations, most students feel it is more TAKING ADVANTAGE OF a few quiet moments around the Fellowship of Christian Athletes' house is Randy Rus- sell, Olathe senior, as he tries to get some studying done, —photo by Brett Roberts o Budget Housing
