Ads buv KU scoreboard
By KELLY SCOTT
Staff Writer
The University of Kansas Athletic Corporation obtained the new $140,000 computer-run scoreboard in Allen Field House for only $8,000, the cost of its installation.
Jerry Waugh, assistant athletic director for operations, said yesterday that four local businesses paid all costs of the scoreboard except installation.
University State Bank, Phillips Petroleum Company, the Mitchell-Stevens Agency and McDonald's bought the scoreboard in exchange for a 10-year lease on the rotating advertisements below the score and time indicators on the scoreboard.

IN ADDITION, HE said, the University paid to him $20,000 for the application to KU. That fund is about $32,000. he said. Travel expenses vary, on where the applicant is from, Nichols.
Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor,
said all recruiting procedures were closely
checked by University administrators to
prevent discrimination.
It's a carefully worked-out procedure, he said, which requires the school or department to submit a summary of recruiting activities. Included in the summary are in what publication advertising was placed, the content of the advertisement, how those articles were selected, how many minorities applied and why they weren't selected.
"MOST OF OUR schools that have positions to fill are making efforts to hire him."
Ennis, however, questioned the sincerity of some departments and schools, especially in cases in which the advertisements required qualifications and experience required.
Emis called KU recruitment policies a drop in the bucket.
"institutions, regardless of what they are,
have systematic ways of excluding blacks,
women, Chicanos, Indians, orientals. Some are very sophisticated; some are very unsophisticated. For all we know, those forces might be at work here."
EVEN IF DISCRIMINATORY hiring practices aren't occurring at KU, Ennis said, extra efforts are needed to recruit more minority faculty and administrators.
"I personally don't believe in quota systems," she said. "But a quota system can be at least two."
"You have to have something to work towards."
increased electrical power and steel supports.
He said that KUAC had been dissatisfied with the old scoreboard, and that the scoreboard's maintenance costs had been steadily increasing.
In October the American Sign and Indicator Company approached Athletic Director Clyde Walker with the idea of the new scoreboard, Waugh said. The company has worked with other state business that were interested in the KU athletic department, he said.
When the four companies expressed interest in the scoreboard, Waugh said, the Athletic Corporation got approval from the Board of Regents, the Chancellor and the Athletic Corporation's executive board to install it.
He said that four 30-second commercial messages for each sponsor were projected across the lighted "message center" at the meeting table. The board were also part of the agreements.
Waugh said the advertisers would be able to renegotiate their contracts in 10 years. No one else had indicated an interest to advertise on the scoreboard, he said.
The Athletic Corporation reserves the right to select advertisers, he said. It is
Scoreboards that display paid advertising are appearing in college sports complexes across the country. Waugh said, and are an example of non-university donors helping college athletic departments to deal with inflation.
Waugh said the Athletic Corporation had already received many requests for time to run non-a-dertement messages across the "message center" of the scoreboard.
unlikely that cigarette or alcohol companies would be allowed to advertise.
The message center is run by a computer located in the press box of Allen Field House. The rest of the board is controlled by the screewerens on the Field house floor.
Because the messages are only run during time outs in the basketball games, there is limited time to run messages of the contracted advertisers, Wannah said.
Complaints that the lighting from the scoreboard was too bright and that the scorekeeper's voice didn't broadcast to the upper sections of the Field House were mixed with what Waugh called "very友好 reaction" to the new scoreboard.
The old scoreboard is stored in the Field House. No plans to sell it have been considered.
Offices shift during break acquire additional space
By FLORESTINE PURNELL
Several University of Kansai offices have several new homes as a result of move made between the two universities.
The Endowment Association, which was housed opposite the Kansas Union, has moved across campus to facilities vacated on West Campus by the Center for Research, Inc. (CRINC). Offices of CRINC were moved to Nichols Hall.
"There is significantly more space here,"
their coach says. "There is another advan-
tage in the Accounts."
Martin Henry, vice president for property management of the Endowment Association, said yesterday that the move was made for several reasons.
The old endowment building is now the home of University Relations. Larry
CRINC offices were moved from the Center for Research, Engineering sciences to facilities in the Space Technology Center, also on West Campus. The office, which is responsible for business affairs and contracts for research conducted under federal and private grants, will be closer to the Center for Research in conducting the research, an office, secretary to the executive director of CRINC said.
Knupp, director of the division of information, said that the reasons for moving were related to organization and expansion, although the building didn't provide much more space than what University Relations needed, at the first floor of Carruth O'Leary Hall.
"This is almost ideal for all divisions of University Relations," Knapp said. "There are really four parts to University Relations and each one will be more clearly defined now. We even have a newsroom of our own who also is much better for our graphic design."
In yet another move, the offices of the KU Federal Credit Union have taken over space in the first floor of Carruth O'Leary. Their team is preparing to spot a snake skill area in the harshest of Spring Hall.
Janet Price, manager of the credit union,
said her office had requested additional
space for the last few years and that they
were pleased with the prove.
"The space we have now is about four times larger than what we had," Price said. Price said they needed more space because of the amount of work the credit union did. The credit union's assets had quadrupled in the past three years, and the union needed more room for the faculty, students and staff who are customers.
