Robert Hemenway, the University of Kansas' new chancellor, hasn't seen the last of search committees.
Less than a month after being chosen as chancellor, Hemenway is digging in for the search for the new executive vice chancellor of the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. The executive vice chancellor is the top administrator on the campus and reports to the chancellor.

search was designed so the new chancellor could make the final decision.
Hollander expects to present Hemenway a short list of three to five names in late February.
On Friday, Hemenway met with Daniel Hollander, dean of the medical school and head of the search committee.
"We are all agreed that we're not going to settle for second best," Hemenway said. "We're going after the best people in the country."
Hemenway said that filling the executive vice chancellor's position was his number one priority as chancellor-elect of KU.
The search committee was appointed by Chancellor Del Shankel in September. Hollander said that the time table of the
After running adds and soliciting nominations from major medical schools across the nation, the committee has received from 40 to 50 applications and nominations. Hemenway himself is making phone calls to qualified prospects and will make the final choice.
"It's a team effort in which the final outcome is the responsibility of the chancellor." he said.
Norman Martin, physician and professor of diagnostic radiology, explains possible injuries caused to a patient's hands to one of his classes at the KU Medical Center. Tom Kelley, center, and Jim Swain, both students of Martin's, are fourth-year medical students.
Four applicants have already been interviewed.
"We were surprised by the high caliber of some of our candidates," Hollander said.
He said most were deans or executive vice chancellors of medical schools.
In addition, the names of the 15-member search committee are confidential. Hollander said the committee had representatives from the schools of Medicine, Nursing, Allied Health and representatives from the Lawrence campus. Committee members include students, faculty and staff.
The names of all candidates are being kept confidential, he said.
Hollander said the new executive vice chancellor would have to be a good leader and understand the changes in education and health care.
"The medical center is an important facet of the University of Karass," Hollander said. "This is one of the key leaders of the University."
centers is one of the most challenging jobs in America today." Hemenway said. "Health care is changing by the day, maybe by the hour."
Hemenway agreed the changing nature of health care would make the job challenging.

Incomplete pass; football team earns 2.05 GPA
Volleyball team nets award again with a 3.17 overall

Gradepoint averages ran the gamut for KU's athletes last semester.
team had the lowest.
Team GPAs were released earlier this month by Student Support Services for the Fall 1994 semester. The volleyball team had the best average again, while the football team had the low-
The volleyball team registered a 3.17. The football team's average GPA last fall was 2.05.
Tim Allen, football administrative assistant, said that the football team normally didn't perform as well academically in the fall semesters.
"What I always look at are individuals," he said.
"Some guys do

real well, and some guys are average. I want each and every one to do the best that they can."
Mason also said that he was not content with the grades.
"I always want them higher," he said.
Several team members received incompletes last semester, Mason said, but since have completed their courses and received grades.
However, Paul Buskirk, assistant athletics director, said that a revised GPA would not be released. The athletic department is more concerned with graduation rates than with GPAs. he said.
Neither the NCAA nor Kansas require minimum GPAs for athletes.
However, individual schools within the University set minimum standards for all students. For example, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences requires students to maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0, while the School of Journalism requires a 2.5 GPA.
Junior punter Darrin Simmons was surprised the team earned such a low average. He said players on the team were smarter than their grades indicated.
"A lot of guys get caught up in the season, which is no excuse at all," he said. However, studying while on the road is up to individual players.
"I don't notice any guys who take books with them, unless they have a paper due," he said. "They try to leave that behind and focus on the game."
KU's volleyball team earned the highest GPA, 3.17, of any team.
The volleyball team has earned the highest GPA several times, including Spring 1994, said junior outside hitter Tracie Walt.
Walt said that team members frequently studied on the road, including on the tour bus and in hotel rooms.
Kansas volleyball coach Karen Schonewise said that while the team had set a goal of earning the highest GPA, she wasn't confident that they would succeed.
"On some road trips, some of the commented that they weren't going to do well," she said. "The biggest challenge is the freshmen. They are stepping into competition right away."

Pay raises proposed for Student Senate executives
Salary increase is justified organization's treasurer says
By Ian Ritter

Student Senate's ton brass deserve a raise.
That's the professional opinion of Chad Browning, Student Senate treasurer. Browning announced the raises as part of the proposed Senate budget for fiscal year 1996.
Browning presented the budget to the Senate finance committee on Tuesday. Senate will vote on the budget in April.
If the proposed budget is adopted, the student body president's monthly salary would increase from $440 to $450, and the vice president's monthly salary would increase from $412.50 to $425.
Pay raises also were proposed for the following Senate officials: treasurer, vice treasurer, Student Senate Executive Committee chairman, executive secretary, coordinator of the Student Legislative Awareness Board and coordinator of the Center for Community Outreach.
Browning said salaries of student senate executives at KU's peer schools generally were higher than the salaries of KU Senate executives.
"I think people put in more hours than they're expected to because of what their job responsibilities require," Browning said.
"A number of salaries hadn't been adjusted in a while," Browning said.
Also included in the proposed budget was $1,460 to purchase new Macintosh computers for the Senate office. The computers in the Senate office are about eight years old.
"The University in general is moving toward an on-line environment," he said. "In terms of our peer institutions, we are way behind the pack."
Senate's computers need to be replaced with new technology, Browning said.
"We have two Macintosh Classics and the third one is an old SE, so these are very old computers." he said.
Senators on the finance committee were reluctant to comment on the proposed budget because Senate has not made any decisions about the issue.
Senate salary proposal
Current salary Proposed salary
Student body president $440 $450
Vice president $412.50 $425
Treasurer $440 $450
Vice treasurer $380 $400
StudEx Chair $380 $400
Executive secretary $330 $380
The following raises are part of a proposed Student Senate budget being discussed by the finance committee. Student Senate will vote on the budget in April.

said they would examine the budget for unnecessary spending but did not give specifics.
"I think right now we're trying to debate these people to figure out if there are any areas of fat that we can trim," Nunemaker senator Enika Oliver said. "It's really early, and we've got a long way to go."
