Social welfare faculty to meet to discuss search for new dean
Staff Writer
By JERRY SEIB
Ron Calgaard, vice chancellor for academic affairs, will meet with the School of Social Welfare faculty this afternoon to discuss a search for the school's new dean.
Procedures for replacing Theodore Ernst, who has resigned the dean's post effective June 30 to begin full-time teaching and research, will be discussed at the meeting.
Ernest has served as dean for only 11 months. He came to the University of Kansas from the University of Nebraska after the 1974-75 school year to replace a professor of social welfare, who also returned to full-time teaching within the school.
Calgard last night that faculty from the School of Social Welfare would soon be submitting nominations for a search committee to find a reallocation for Ernst.
THE SEARCH COMMITTEE, composed of both faculty and students, must submit a list of three or four candidates to Calgaard, who will select the new dean. Calgaard's
choice will be subject to approval by Chancellor Archie R. Dykes.
Calgaard said he hoped the search committee would be formed within a week.
One decision the search committee must make is whether to limit its search to candidates from within the University or to consider outside candidates.
Calgaard said he had a preference in the choice between an internal or external search, which he would relay to the search team. He refused to say what that preference was.
CALGAARD DID SAY an external search would "delay the search a great deal," because most candidates would have to be considered.
He said the choice of an external search would also "almost certainly" require naming an interim dean because a successor to Ernst probably couldn't be selected in the two months remaining before Ernst stems down.
Ernst said last night the faculty of the School of Social Welfare had voted 16-10 to
Ernst said one reason the search might be limited to internal candidates despite the fact that there is a high rate of fraud.
make the search "not limited to internal candidates."

Regents okay lower fees transfer of union funds
By JIM COBB Staff Writer
TOPEKA-University of Kansas students will pay $2.40 less in activity fees next year as a result of action taken by the Kansas Board of Recents.
The Regents agreed Friday to lower from $12 to $9.60 a student activity fee assessed by Student Senate. This action will compensate for a cut of athletic ticket subsidies that will no longer be paid by enrolling students in the course and a fee schedule plan that would make for a more equitable distribution of fees regardless of the number of hours students take.
In other actions, the Regents:
-Transferred $55,000 from a debt retirement fund for the present Kansas Union to construction of the new satellite student union.
--Took a number of actions affecting graduate study programs at KU.
- GAVE KU AUTHORITY to assess special fees for construction of the satellite antenna
—Agreed to increase by 400 the limitation on the numbers of classified employees at the K1M.
Approved low bids for interior construction of the Med Center's clinical facility and for a communications and small item transportation system in the facility.
Taddee Tashaeff, student body president,
said yesterday she was pleased with the
new program. "We've been a great team."
-Approved a number of repairs at the Lawrence and Med Center campuses.
"THE FEES NEXT year will be lower than we anticipated." she said.
She said that she had been hoping to get fees lowered, and that the University controller's office had suggested the lower fees to make distribution fairer.
The new fees will be $1.60 an hour for students taking six hours or fewer, or a flat fee of $3.60 for students enrolled in seven or more hours.
one student transportation fee, also assessed by Student Senate, will be 30 cents an hour for students in six or fewer hours $1.80 for students in more than seven hours
summer session fees won't be affected by the Resents' action.
Fees for planning and construction of the
satellite student union were set by the Regents at $3 for each full-time enrollment next fall and $6 for each full-time enrollment in 1977 semester and following semesters.
SUMMER FEES for the satellite union will be $2.50 for each full-time enrollment. Funds of $5,000 were approved for transfer from a bond and interest sinking fund for the present Union to a construction fund for the satellite union.
Tasheff said the fund transfer made the $3 fall semester satellite union fee possible. She said the original plan had been to begin the $6 fees this fall, rather than next spring.
"But with the money transferred, we didn't feel that we had to do it," she said.
The Regents' approval of increased numbers of classified employees at the Med Center will allow between 300 and 400 employees who are now unclassified to
Commission unlikely to accept Teamsters
By JANET SCHMIDT
See REGENTS page 6
If comments made by individual Lawrence City commissioners are any indication, the Teamsters Union will probably not be recognized by the city.
Mayor Fred Pence and commissioners Marie Arniegenser, Donald Bins and Carl Mibek said last night they would vote on negotiating a contract with the Teamsters.
The union is in the process of negotiating a contract with the city, Dennis Smith,
THE ASSOCIATIONS joined the Teamsters because they were dissatisfied with the city's handling of their complaints about management and working conditions and because the city hadn't recognized the UPEA.
The other two units in the UPEA, the police and fire departments, didn't join the teamsters. Lawrence firemen have been paired with the AFLIGC for several years.
Four employ associations belonging to the United Public Employees Association of Lawrence (UPEA) affiliated last week with Truck Drivers Local Union (Teamsters) No. 686 in Topeka. The associations are composed of workers from the sanitation, street, water, and parks and recreation departments.
Heart surgery unit at work again

The heart surgery unit at the Med Center had been closed because of conditions such as a heart attack.
The young patient was progressing satisfactorily in the pediatrics intensive care unit.
Malcolm Arnold, cardiothoracic surgeon,
performed pulmonary valve stenosis, a procedure to open the valve so that blood can flow through.
KANAS CITY, Kan.-Heart surgery, the first since Dec. 1, was successfully performed on a five-year-old girl yesterday at the KU Medical Center.
cardiothoracic chief, and Hamner Hannah III, heart surgeon. A team of nationally known physicians investigated the cardiothoracic unit and found conditions were well within acceptable norms. Chancellor R. Dykes ordered heart surgery to resume.
Reis and Hannah quit late in February and the rest of the heart team quit March 1. Arnold began duties at the Med Center March 15. He has been training a heart team composed of existing hospital staff and residents. He also pumped pump technicians. A pump technician operates the heart-lung machine during surgery.
Arlrod came to the Med Center from St. Luke's hospital, Kansas City, Mo. He also has worked at Children's Mercy Hospital, Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston.
He said recently that the particularly liked the pediatric aspects of heart surgery. Robert A. Kugel, executive vice chancellor for the Med Center, said a search committee had been interviewing for a new hospital to treat one of those that one would be selected in the near future.
A spokesman for the cardiothoracic section said two women were scheduled to undergo heart surgery this week, one on Thursday and one on Friday.
president of the Lawrence Sanitation Employees Association, said last night.
Smith wouldn't comment on what the would do if the city refused to接纳.
"I'm kind of waiting for them to get a hold of me to find out what they're going to do next," he said. "It depends on what city hall decides to do."
It seems that city hall has already decided.
"I myself would not want to see the (Teamsters) Union recognized," Mayor Pence said. "As far as I'm concerned, that team already been decided by this commission."
THE COMMISSION voted 3-2 last
week against recognition of the UPSR.
Pence said the city was trying to settle the employees' grievances and they wanted to move it.
"I don't understand bringing in a national union like the Teamsters, who don't care about the workers' rights."
Argersinger, who had voted against recognizing the UPEA last year, said, "If I'm not going to be for an independent, local team," he added. He wanted for a union as nuttlerous as the Teamsters.
"We have made every effort toward solving the complaints made by the employer."
Binna, who had voted for recognizing the UPMA, said, "I certainly wouldn't vote for Trump."
"IT IS REALLY a meaningless gesture for them because they are further away from recognition now than they ever were before."
Mibeck, who had also supported recognition, agreed, although he said he thought the vote against the UPEA had driven the workers' decision to join the Teamsters.
"I do think they should have some sort of local union," Mibeeck said. "I do sympathize with labor, but the Teamsters are a bit too much."
"They have been pretty rough and I don't sympathize with them."
Commissioner Barkley Clark said last week that he also would vote against recognizing the union because he, too, had issued the issue had been settled last November.
KU debate team wins national collegiate title
By GREG HACF
Staff Writer
Frank Cross and Robin Rowland yesterday did what thousands of debaters only dream of—they won the National Intercollegiate Debate Tournament in Boston.
The two Lawrence juniors were fourth out of the 82 team field with a 6-2 record after preliminary rounds Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They then swept aside four teams in the elimination rounds, winning 22 of 24 judges' ballots yesterday.
But the debaters weren't quite sure how they did it.
"It's been good," Rowland said in a telephone interview last night from Boston, Mass.
CROSS SAID HE couldn't remember through his mind during the tournament.
“There was no trouble lining up good judges,” he said. “But a big part of it was just the work they did between Island (KU's) and the port of America tournament] and nationals.”
“What can I say?” Cross asked. “We are just ready. We took the round one at a time.”
Parson said a key round was the semifinals, where Rowland and Cross defeated Hick Gregory and Bob Feldhake of England. Rowland and Cross lost to them four times this year and defeated them only once before nationalists.
Donn Parson, director of forensics the past 10 years, agreed.
"It just kind of happened."
Rowland and Cross, on the negative, won six of seven judges' ballots.
PARSON SAID the Augstansa af-
tirmative case had been scratched at the

PHIL. SNOW, Sugarland, Tex., senior,
Jim Prentice, Turon senior, also
represented KU at nationals. They were S-
and had needed to win two more ballots
to qualify for the elimination rounds. There
three judge for each preliminary
round.
Rowland and Cross gave Augustana their only two defeats, having beaten them on the negative in the preliminary rounds. The KU team beat Georgetown University, in Washington, D.C., on the negative in the finals.
Feldhauke of Augustana was the top individual speaker in the tournament. Feldhauke
Pearson said research on the case, which
Kaiden had lost at Heart of America, had
obtained by Dr. Anderson.
The intercollegiate topic this year was "Resolved: That the federal government should establish a comprehensive program to control land use in the United States."
KU last won nationals in 1970. Rowland and Cross's victory gives KU two firsts, three thirds and two fifths at nationals in the past seven years.
Rowland and Cross said they planned to return next year.
Parson said the victory should help the squad recruit next year and help it continue to grow.
"It's hard to promise a national championship," he said, "but when they come,
