New hope stirs faculty club quest
By JERRY SEIB
Staff Writer
For 26 years, University of Kansas faculty members recovered from the rigors of the classroom in a faculty club, situated adjacent to Jayhawk Blvd. from the Kansas jobl
Since financial problems closed the club in 1967, the KU faculty hasn't had such a refuge. But some faculty members hope to see that change.
SenEx has decided to select one faculty member who will determine whether KU administrators will support a new faculty club.
That faculty member will be chosen later and will be a Gold, professor of English and Seneca.
memname a small group of faculty members "who have been carrying the torch" continue to seek a home for a faculty member, dean of research administration said.
SINCE THE original club, housed in the current University Relations Center, closed, the group has raised funds in hope of completing it and later, building another one, he said.
Lack of support from the University
administration eventually ended both of
these projects, he said, and the money the
groom raised was returned to donors.
Snyder said he is now looking into a couple of possible sites near campus for the
Green Hall and Spooner Museum, both of which will be vacated when new buildings to house the School of Law and Museum of Art are completed, have been suggested at
SenEx meetings as possible sites for the club.
However, those buildings wouldn't be good sites, Snyder said, because they are on state property, and a liquor license can't be bought for a building on state grounds.
SNYDER SAID a liquor license would be important to a faculty club, which would collect dues and operate like any private club, it offering the same services as private clubs offer to maintain membership.
The original faculty club had a liquor license, he said, because it was located on property then owned by the Endowment Association, not the state.
Snyder said he would prefer a location unlawfully pursued because of the liquor license, problem.
KU is the only state university that doesn't have a faculty club, Snyer said. The Wichita State University faculty has a country club and golf course, and the Kansas State University faculty has a club in a hotel located near the campus, be said.
IT IS unusual for a university as large as it be to without a faculty club, Snyder said.
"It's really a great pity," he said. "There is no place the faculty can get together to discuss it."
Snyder was a newly elected member of the faculty club board of directors when a large debt forced the club's closing in the fall of 1967. The building was then converted for housing at the Endowment Association, before it became the University Relations Center.
In 1851, Robt. Roberts, then general manager of the Kansas City Star, donated $200,000 to the Kansas City Star.
He said the department hadn't thought the enrollment decline would be so drastic.
THE CLUB housed a dining room, lounges, two libraries and a meeting room, serving as a social center and gathering place for the faculty.
When the club was closed, its assets were sold at a public auction, Snyder said, and sales went through.
A small balance left over from the auction was deposited with the Endowment Fund. The balance is now valued at $16,597.
"I don't think it was visualized as being as busy as it turned out to be," Jones said. "It was as if iturned out to be."

Low enrollment stirs Naval ROTC study
Snyder said he and other faculty members met in the spring of 1986 and formed an organization to keep the idea of a faculty club alive. Snyder was then elected
IN 1972, Raymond Nichols, then chancellor, told the group that KU would financially support a new club if the faculty could generate enough interest and funds to
He said that a wire report reported Tuesday that four Naval ROTC units at
Snyder and other faculty members began membership drive and fund-raising efforts.
A number of students had enrolled in the calculus and physics courses, only to find difficult. Jones said. Those students had to do dropped from the Naval ROTC program.
The Naval ROTC program at the University of Kansas is under evaluation by the Department of Defense because the junior class has fewer than the 17 students required for the continuance of the program.
The junior class originally had 52 members but that number has diminished to only 12, according to Capt. Ray Jones, professor of naval science.
"The scholarship students are the bulk of our people." Jones said.
The group was prepared to buy a house vacated by Phi Kappa Tau fraternity, only to discover that the house needed more furniture. The group suggested the group look elsewhere.
Jones said yesterday that he attributed the decline in Naval ROTC enrollment to a requirement, added in the fall 1973 semester, which said that all Naval ROTC scholarship students must take calculus and physics.
With the funds it had raised still intact, Snyder's group decided to try to build a new club near the old site, in a parking lot across Jawhawk Blvd. from the Union.
other schools were being discontinued and in the end, under evaluation, including KU's program.
"Charliecoll Dykes received a letter some time ago, he said, 'telling him the program was up.'"
Jones said that recruiters were working harder to introduce more people in Kansas to the program, and that the continuance of the KU unit wasn't in doubt.
"Therein lies our basic problem," he said. "If you were an applicant from Hays, where would you have been?"
"We're trying to establish our image on campus as a fun group to belong to," he said. Also, students in the program have worked with counselors counseling they wouldn't ordinarily get."
The principals and alternates will have their choice of schools to attend.
Jones said that, nationally, 2,000 scholarships would be given to next year's freshman class. They will be awarded to members of a group of 4,400 principals and alternates selected from an initial list of 40,000 applicants.
THIS TIME, the administration refused to give University funds for the project because KU was committed to building a museum, today nearing completion.
*Probably to Colorado, so you could ski,
or Miami, where you could lie on the
beach.*
Snyder said the group returned the money it raised or asked donors to designate it for use elsewhere, and the group abandoned the project.

Hair found in river may be from human
The Lawrence police and fire departments are waiting to hear from the KBI to determine whether a small lump of maggot infested, light brown hair pulled from the Kansas River Tuesday evening is from a human.
Jess A. Cornellus, Shawnee Mission sophomore, was fishing Tuesday when he discovered the lump of hair. He told police that his line lassoed as he pulled it in. Then he wrestled it back and pretended it in he found the hair on his book. then reported the incident to the police.
Police and fire department officials have decided to delay dragging the river until the killed boat is removed.
A dragging boat was taken to the river that evening to Cornelius' fishing site, near Inyasha Fireform factory, 8th and New York. It was too dark to begin a search, police said.

helping establish a faculty club, Snyder sat but Dykes went the club to be self-affirmative.
Snyder said the faculty had proved it could receive support from the community, but establishing a club would require additional help from the University.
"We've lost some of the social contact a
justice system should have, but alone would
justify University support."
