Sabbaticals, promotions studied
7
Recommendations for faculty sabbatical leaves and promotions in academic rank will be considered by the Kansas Board of Regents this week in its monthly meeting.
Sabbatteals have been recommended for faculty members for next year.
A sabbatical leave is the granting of a leave of not more than a year's time with a faculty members so that they may pursue their academic studies or obtain professional experience.
KU officials said they thought the recommendations for sabbatical leaves and promotions in academic rank would be approved by the Regents.
The decision to grant sabbatical leave is based upon the applicant's past accomplishments and contributions to teaching and research.
THE UNIVERSITY Committee on Sabatian Leaves evaluated all applications by faculty members and submitted its recommendations to the Regents for final approval.
rank. Of those, 28 are recommended to be promoted to the rank of professor and 30 are recommended to be promoted to associate professors.
There are 60 faculty members who are recommended for promotions in academic
Also on the Regents' agenda for approval is the recommendation to amend the 1978 allocation for major repairs, special renovations and remodeling at the Lawrence campus.
HE SAID KU needed the Regents' approval before the shift in funds could occur. The Regents will meet tomorrow and Friday at Fort Hays State University.
said the amendment to the allocation of repair funds was to shift unspent funds from three other projects to another project that was short of funding.
Pittsburgh State University, Wichita State University, Emporia State University, Kansas State University, Fort Hays State University and the Kansas Technical Institute also will make recommendations to the Regents.

Tornadoes kill four in stormy Southeast
MONTICELLO, Miss. (AP)—A string of torneados plowed through the Southeast late Monday and early yesterday, killing four members of a family when their frame home was destroyed. More than 40 other persons were injured.
"It sounded like a big jumbo jet when it was landing—then it was just quiet." Gary Thornhill of Forest Grove Community near Monticello said.
Four of Thornhill's relatives were killed when a twister destroyed their home.
Elswhere in the Southeast, summer homes on the Mississippi River Delta were built in the early 1960s. Mississippi Power & Light Co. said eight employees were injured when a tornado strucured the construction site of the Grand nuclear plant northwest of Port Gibson.
Clinic to scrutinize life insurance sales
Kroeger said that guest speakers at the clinic would be Mike Mullen, attorney for the Kansas insurance commissioner's office, Bob Carlson, local insurance agent,
There have been more inquiries than usual this year, she said, but it currently is a peak period for insurance agents to be selling insurance packages.
Because many students inquire about life insurance sales, an information clinic will be held at 7 p.m. today in the Walnut Room, Kansas Union, Jody Kroeger, administrator director of the Lawrence Consumer Affairs Association, said yesterday.
The clinic, sponsored by the association, will deal with such problems as the need for life insurance, when and how much insurance should be bought and the types of policies that are available to students, Kroeger said.
and Fran Lemery, assistant vice president for the Kansas City Life Insurance Co.
MULLET WILL discuss the legal aspects of buying and selling insurance, Carlson the decisions that must be made and aspects that must be considered when buying a policy and Lemery the different policies that are available to students.
One insurance plan that will be discussed at the clinic is the deferred payment plan, which allows the purchaser to pay only a small down payment of $5 or $10 and no installments during the first year of the policy.
The plan is deceptive, Kroeger said, because the first year's premium payments are delayed for a year and at that time the cost of the premium and interest must be paid.
"This is the sort of thing that is going on here on campus that students need to be prepared for."
