If Ed Rufos had it to do over again, he says probably wouldn't have it run for student union.
"I wouldn't run because the time involved, responsibilities, personalities and eggs you have to deal with aren't worth it," Rolfs said in an interview this week.
"My major surprise when I first got in was the time commitment," he said. "I was working 12 to 14 hours a day with some phase of it."
Rufus, Junction City senior, denied that he was on the office, which he officially left.
"What I've learned has been invaluable but not worth the time," he said.
Rolfs said the demands of the office had taken its toll on his health.
As he lil up his fourth cigarette of the hour-long interview, Rufs said, "I used to love it."
He said he didn't think the student body president should be a full-time student because of his time requirements, and requires. Rolfs has never taken less than 14 credit hours since he became president last

Reviewing his tenure as president, Rofs said he had fulfilled his campaign promises but wasn't satisfied with his work continued by Kansas Athletic Corporation (KIA).
"We were unable to change any policies or mandates handed down from KUAC," he said. "I think we brought some issues to our heads and have some effect down the road." thundr.

"Classroom teaching, as far as I was concerned, was the most important project undertaken," he said. "This project attained its success only for a year, but for years to come."
On the other hand, Rolfs said he was
unhappy with the response to the
failure.
"My biggest disappointment was the confusion and lack of understanding of our goals and expectations in that area," he said. "SenEx became very defensive when he was sent to the Senate primarily because they viewed it as an attack on the faculty of the University."

The University administration could have been more responsive to the senate, Rolfs said, adding that the maze-like structure of the central administration had made communication between the Senate and Strong Hall difficult.

Library committee picked to judge University needs
Staff Writer
ByLYNDASMITH
The Library Facilities Planning Committee has been appointed and will begin an evaluation of the University's library needs by April 10, 2014, vice chancellor, announced yesterday.
The library committee will be responsible for developing plans for the renovation of the building.
In a press conference, Shankel also said that the University would request that the Board of Regents make a minor change in its procedure of selecting regent's professors. He also said he doubted that the legislature's failure to approve a 10 per cent increase in regent's pay would cause increased sentiment among faculty members for collective bargaining.
Max Lucas, assistant to the Chancellor, said the library committee would determine whether a new library is justified at the school. Lucas said the committee will develop plans for the architectural design of that facility. Lucas said the committee's work would begin next year.
"The committee will set its own time schedule," he said, "because it's dealing with a very large segment of the University."
Other members of the committee are:
John Glinka, associate dean of libraries;
Nancy Bengel circulation librarian;
Steve Duggan, associate petroleum engineering; Kala May Stroup,
dean of women; Scott Sielbies, Parkside village junior; Allen Wierchert, associate petroleum engineer; Christoffersen, assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs; Thomas Smith, professor
The committee will consider plans for a proposed science-technology library, Ranz said, recommended last November by a libraries facilities advisory committee. The committee will also be the libraries of the business and engineering schools and various science departments.
Jim Ranz, dean of libraries and chairman of the newly selected committee, said that he; Shankel; Luces; and Ron Calgaard, the committee's leaders, will meet tomorrow morning to outline the committee's specific responsibilities and plan of action. Shankel, Luces and Calgaard met on Tuesday.
In another matter, Shankel said that the University would request the Board of Regents to appoint future regents' professors from within the University. No one employed at Kansas schools can be designated now as a regents' professor.
High risk (Class D) employees, including Chancellor Archie C Dykes, professors on
The Board of Regents is given an annual appropriation by the legislature of $12,500 to hire a distinguished professor as a regents' professor.
The professor is nominated by the Chancellor or a regent and is eligible for the award.
SenEx has been asked to determine faculty interest in the proposal.
"A at time when we anticipate stability in enrollment but a possible future decline, we're not sure it's a good idea to go outside the institution and state to bring in a high-salaried, tenured person for the regents' professorship," Shankel said.
of geography and East Asian studies; and Raymond Nichols, emeritus chancellor.
One regents' professorship is vacant at the University as a result of Curt Teichert's retirement in May. Teichert was a regents' professor of geology.
KU considers job risk insurance

Maintenance and service personnel would pay $ 1.95 in Class III and student employees including graduate assistants would pay $ 4.25 in Class IV.

Dykes earlier told SenEx that the same man who helped obtain a policy to underwrite the Kansas Union after the 1970 oblain helped the liability insurance policy.
According to the proposal, the policy protects against bodily injury claims, direct damage to University property, false arrest or conviction of someone in a slander, defamation of character, assault
According to Del Shank, executive vice chancellor about 2,000 employees would have the authority to premiums quoted in the policy. The policy says lower rates could be negotiated and the rate would be negotiated.

Jobs pose problems for foreign students

"We have for some time been concerned about the liability question," Dykes said.
The Council of Presidents, consisting of presidents or chancellors from the six Regents schools, reviewed the policy in its January meeting to determine among faculty, be said.
In 1972, the Haas & Wilkerson firm
provides insurance premium rates by
46 per cent.
"If the faculty feels it is being treated unfairly," Shankel said, "there will certainly be a feeling on the part of some that they are being denied demands and rights. But there is almost no sentiment for collective bargaining, and there will probably be very little in the face."
Dykes said Kansas State University had already indicated it would not interested in signing the deal.
Shankel said legislators shouldn't feel that the faculty is threatening them with collective bargaining because there would be more work than average percentage interested in it at the University.
Summer Abroad programs and the Pearson Integrated Humanities program and KU police officers, would be covered by the University as a policy, as would other University personnel.
Concerning a 10 per cent faculty salary increase now in the Kansas Legislature, Shankel said, "I don't think there will be a mass exodus (of faculty members), regardless of what happens in the state." He added, longing and most faculty members are hoping the legislature will deal fairly and equitably with us."
Class II includes assistant professors, instructors and personnel not included in Class I.
Restrictions on foreign students by the Office of Immigration and Naturalization require that they work with a permit or face possible deportation.

For foreign students at the University of
Armenia, getting a part-time job may mean
a lengthy period.
There is a contradiction in allowing foreign students to work once they arrive, according to immigration laws that say a student must show a financial statement to the American consulate in his country before allowed admittance to the United States.
Takuru Higuchi, professor of chemistry,
is KU's other reagents' professor.
THE FINANCIAL statement must be approved by the consul before the student can obtain a visit to enter the United States, and the visa is issued to his educational expenses before he comes.
If a student decides to seek employment without approval from either the Dean of Foreign Students or the immigration service, he is susceptible to deportation.
Robert Rumbough, district director for the Office of Immigration and Naturalization in New York, yesterday that there had been an increase in the number of students coming to American universities and that with the financial burdens of infusion; more of them went overseas.
"A LOT OF TIMES the student who is out working doesn't have authorization," he said.
A student must prove need and obtain a work permit for any employment. He cannot work more than 20 hours a week. A student must carry at least 12 hours of college courses.
There are two basic means for students to fund their educations at an American university; support from their families and sponsorship by their governments.
A student not on a scholarship may have to seek employment when his initial means of support are insufficient.
BUMBUGH SAID that there was “quite a lot of fraud” in the establishment of financial means before a student submitted an application to American university to the American college.
The philosophy behind requiring a work permit, Rumbaugh said, was to prevent employees from working without a permit.
Students from underdeveloped countries usually try to supplement their finances by working because their governments can't provide enough money, he said.
Rumbaugh said that he had never known if any foreign student's being deported.
However, he said, "We don't go out of our way to find out if students are working."
CLARK COAN, DEAN of foreign students, said that he also didn't think there had been any students deported from Korea after the war. The service was understaffed and underbudgeted and that it was difficult for them to monitor all the activities of these students.
Csn said that about half of the foreign students at KU were sponsored by their governments and the other半 sponsored by other sponsors, he said. 40 to 50 per cent are working.
The students on full government scholarships don't need to work, he said.
COAN SAID that approval for a student to work on campus wasn't needed from the immigration service but that foreign students couldn't accept college work-study jobs.
Coun said that the student could make applications to several universities in the United States but that he was bound by law because he has shown to the American consul.
Students entering the country receive a student visa, which can be used for more than 10 years.
"One of the big problems is that they're foreignVisas lumped together." Coan

Uncommon lifestyle students' common denominator

The second chapter

About the only thing they have in common is that
they're students and they need some place to live.
And the reasons they give for living where they do are as different as the living quarters themselves.
Many University of Kansas students live in conventional places. But some live in rooms for rent, married housing, mobile homes, houses, coops and with their parents.
Rooms for rent
About 14.9 per cent of KU's students rent rooms, usually in older houses.
Mike Gullett, Parsons senior, lives in a room in an Ohio Street house. He said he could not find anywhere else to live and isn't entirely pleased with his residence.
"THE ONLY GOOD thing about it is that it's close to campus." Gullett said "and I just waited until it happened."
Gullett said he paid $80 a month for his room, which is about 20 feet by 30 feet. There is a stove and a refrigerator, but they aren't in a separate kitchen. He rented a bathroom with other occupants in the house.
as replace all the lightballs. He also said that the frezer door on his refrigerator was gone and the freezer door was open.
"The electricity goes out about four times a semester and then the whole place goes out."
HE SAID THAT cochokes frequented his room and that there was little parking available within
Gullett said that the room was filthy when he moved into it and he had to clean it himself as well
The room itself is small, Gullet said, and the house used to be split into two apartments.
"I have a TV, but I can't fit it into my apartment," he said.
Clarence and Catherine Adamson rent rooms to students in their house at 1344 Kentucky.
Some landlords live in the houses they rent to students.
"I've had some girls who wanted to move in, but my wife won't let them because she doesn't want to move."
FOUR OF THE two rent single rooms for $5 a month. The other two pay $70 because they share a room.
Six male students live with the Adamsons.
"My wife's so afraid she's overcharging the boys that she might even give their money back," Adamson said, "and she cleans up their rooms just like a mother does."
He said that living with the young men was a lot like having his seven children, now grown, at home.
Married housing
The University offers inexpensive housing for married students, Jody LaPolette, off-campus
STOUFFER PLACE Apartments cost $25 and $105 a month for one- and two-bedroom apartments, respectively. Stouffer houses 1.7 per cent of the student body.
La Follette said that students had to be married to live there.
She said that at least one of the two had to be a full-time student.
"There have been people living here before who weren't married but as soon as we found out, they were married."
Vandana Agarwal, Lawrence junior, said that she like Stouffer mostly because it was close to campus. She, her husband and daughter live in a two-bedroom apartment at Stouffel. Her husband isn't a student.
'WE FIND it safer than an apartment complex because no door-to-door salamander are allowed here.'
Agarwal said another reason she liked the apartments was a no-pet regulation. She said that the apartment's security system is
She said she thought Stouffer was a good thing for the University to provide, and her only complaints were that the refrigerator was too small and guests had to pass through the master bedroom to find the bathroom.
Mobile homes
MORE AND MORE students are moving into mobile homes, Joe & Strawdriver, manager of Bill
He said he bought a lot of students got tired of the noise they encountered in apartment complexes and had to leave.
"And if they buy a mobile home and want to move to another town, Strawderman said, 'they just want it.'"
He said the home was tied down, as federal law requires.
"BUT IT'S STRANGE to live in a trailer because they're not very stable." DaGesperi said.
Although he and his roommates had originally wanted to find a farmhouse, Jeff DeGaspert, Pittsburg junior, said that living in a mobile home was quieter than apartments.
He said when it was windy, the mobile home didn't make him, but he could tell the foundation wasn't
The living room and litten areas are large, but the bedrooms are "kind of squished," he said.
DeGaspier and its two roommates pay $180 a month, not including utilities for the three-bedroom
Strawberryman said that the rent for a trailer varied, depending on whether the home was furnished, how many bedrooms it had, and where in the mobile home lot it was located.
"CORNER LOTS usually cost more because there aren't any trailers on either side," Strawardman
Houses
If a student owns a mobile home, renting a lot costs between $42.50 and $60 a month. But if he rents the trailer, the rent is between $120 and $160, including theJet. The strawerman said.
If it's space a student wants, there are houses in Lawrence for rent.
Nancy Smith, Shawnee Mission senior, lives with two other women in a house filled with antiques. Smith said the antiques had belonged to a roommate's mother.
"THE STREET we live on is more like the street I grew up on," Smith said.
Another reason she wanted to move into a house was that she had a dog. Smith said, and couldnt believe the truth of that story.
Betty Pallanich, Overside Park senior, also said that she wanted a place where she could keepoes.
She said two other women moved into a house that Pallainn has was homier than an apartment.
"IT'S REALLY different when you live in a house because you have a lot more space." Pallainn said, "and you feel like you can live how you want and not to have worry about bothering other people."
