Some of the services provided by the dean of men's office are the Reading and Study Skills Program, information about human sexuality, housing, which includes housing halls and fraternities, honorary organizations, orientation and minorities.
Ermie Garcia, assistant to the dean of men, a member of the TUX dean of men.
BOTH OFFICES DEAL with students on an individual basis and members of both staffs serve on numerous community and University committees. Sources from each office said they dealt with both sexes instead of members of only one sex.
He said he thought it could be assumed that less work would come out of one office than another if one had fewer people on its staff.
He said the dean of women's office had four women who worked with each of the four women's scholarship halls and the dean of men's office had only one adviser, Kirk McAlexander, assistant to the dean, to advise all four men's scholarship halls.
GARCIA SAID people were wondering whether so many staff members were necessary in the dean of women's office because the one man in the dean of men's office was doing a good job with scholarship halls by himself.
Garcia said maybe something justified
another. But he wasn't sure what it was.

David Davenport
David Davenport, Shawne Mission, won first place and $400 last night in the Moot Court Competition for second-year law students. Joel Goldman, Shawnee Mission, took second place and $200. Stephen Harris and Daniel Lyons, Kansas City, Kan., tied for third place and won $100 each. The contest took place in the Kansas Union.
'Conpersonas to be performed in Washington
"Congersones," an original play by Paul Stephen Lim, Phillips graduates student, will be presented April 7 and 8 at the John F. Kershaw Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
The play, winner in the original script competition of the American College Theatre Festival (ACTF) earlier this year, was first presented last fall at KU.
It will cost about $4,200 to send the 16-member company to Washington.
Tom Rea, associate director of the University Theatre, said expenses would be covered by ACTF and the Shubert Foundation of New York.
According to Rea, about $1,200 will come from Stuart's fund, which will be used for four Stuart funds.
ACTF, will pay for the four-member cast, a five-member crew, director David Cook, playwright Lim and a truck driver, will transport the company's equipment.
Both offices serve both sexes, Garcia said, because of the overlap of housing
Each office is responsible for administering the contracts and personnel of certain residence halls. They each assign a staff member to hire resident directors and assistants.
The dean of men's office is responsible for the training of Joseph Pearson, Tyrannie Turner and Nicholas Ternum.

FRED McEHLENIE, associate dean of men, said that the residence directors and assistants were paid by the Housing Office and that the directors' salaries depended on the number of years experience they had and what degrees the directors hold.
As far as residence halls are concerned, McElhene said, the duties carried out by housing personnel in the dean of men's and dean of women's offices are different.
He said the graduate assistant in the dean of women's office dealt mostly with residence hall contracts. The dean of men's housing staff also deals with contracts, he said. To work with students, officers, programs and selection processes for the residence directors and assistants.
DEAN OF MEN Donald Alderson said that his staff was serving students as well as it could with its staff and that the office wasn't having to turn students away.
He said the office had been limited in developing new programs because it didn't know what to do.
The dean of men's office can't afford to hire more full-time employees on its budget, he said, and it is easier to get graduate assistants who work part-time.
Alderson said he had just hired two more part-time graduate students in addition to the four already working half-time. They will work one-eighth time, which equals about one hour a day. Both specialize in handicapped.
Kala Stroup, dean of women on leave,
said the dean of women's staff included
the head of the women's center.
SHE SAID THE OFFICE was able to get well-qualified women because much of the time women couldn't get jobs in other places. There are few administrative jobs for women except positions in women's office, such as the dean of women's office, she said.
McAleenard said there was a repetition of duties between the dean of men's and women's departments.
"A good number of things could be con- sedicated into one office and should be done to ensure that no one is not said. "Why not have one central place to take care of staffing the halls and to
He said he thought the dean of men's office was giving men the services they needed and the office provided adequate facilities even with its smaller staff and budget.
HE SAID I MIGHT look as if women were getting more services from the dean of women's office because they had more money in their budget and a larger staff.
Stroup said the two offices had never only tried to keep up with each other in teamwork.
Acting Dean of Women Caryl Smith was unavailable for comment because she was
Stroup said that over a period of years the growing staff of the dean of women's office had been justified in terms of growing activities and programs, and by the increasing number of women students who used the office's services.
"BUT THE CONCEPT that we only serve women isn't true," Stroup said. "I think that any office they (students) go to they answer the same answers to the same answers."
She said that in the past women had
Stroup said many people said they thought a special office for women was still necessary, but she didn't know whether it was anymore.
needed a place to identify with which focused on women and that KU didn't have many women professors or administrators to whom women students could go.
She questioned whether other departments and offices were being scrutinized as carefully the dean of women's and dean of men's offices were.
"The functions of the two offices are really the function of one office and it just so happens that there are more people on one floor than there are on the other." Bailour said.
JULIE GORDON, assistant dean of women, said that services for women weren't coming from any other offices, although there was a degree of coordination between the dean of men's office and the dean of women's office.
William M. Balfour, vice chancellor for student affairs, said that he viewed the two teachers as equal.

He said the two offices were separated by tradition and that he didn't think that the present time would be appropriate time to combine the offices.

Questions were raised by several people about possible unequal treatment of students by two women's scholarship halls, Miller and Watkins.
Miller and Watkins cost $250 per year to live in and the remaining six scholarship houses. Students have about $550. Miller and Watkins are women's halls, and instead of having one large kitchen for students to prepare meals in, the two halls buy their own. Students in the two halls buy their own.
Elizabeth M. Watkins donated the money that pays the residents' rent in the halls. The $250 pays mostly for utilities and maintenance.
Students who don't receive adequate services from one office should try the other office.
Because the halls are limited to women, questions are being raised about whether men are provided equal services in housing situations.
IN A 1930'S KU new release, Watkins was quoted as saying, "It has been my dream to aid self-supporting girls to get an education. I planned the hall so that the girls would have the advantages of life in a small group along with those enlisted by a large unit."

Wilson said that if this was found to be in non-compliance with Title IX, the University might have to duplicate living arrangements equal to Miller and Watkins for men. He said that might entail extensive remodeling of existing men's halls.
Balfour said that Mrs. Wakimu's probably wouldn't be a doctor, but the Miller or Wakimu's

The University would probably have to match those living arrangements and that would involve quite a bit of money, he said. He said that money would probably come from student fees because there wasn't enough state allocated money.
