Reorganized student affairs office hinted at
By BARBARA JENSEN
Staff Writer
The offices of the dean of women and dean of men will be merged in a reorganization of the student affairs division, according to members of a women's resource center advisory board.
Several members of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource and Career Center advisory board said last night that David Amberl, vice chairwoman of student affairs had indicated to them that he planned to attend a meeting of officers. Amberl met with the advisory board Monday afternoon to discuss the effects of the reorganization.
Rae Sedgwick, advisory board member, said she thought it was clear after the meeting Monday that Amber already had decided to abolish the dean of women's office.
"What he was saying at the meeting indicated there be no dean of women's office next year,"
Sedgwick said, "He said student services would be merged under one office."
AMBLER DID NOT DENY last night that changes were being made, but said he would not comment on them until Friday. He said he would explain the reorganization in a briefing scheduled to be held at 3:30 p.m. Friday in the Centennial Room of the Kansas University. The plan would become effective July 16.
been circulating among administrators since last fail, but neither affirmed or denied by the administration
Steve Leben, advisory board member, said that he thought it was clear from the context of the meeting that Amber had made a final decision on the reorganization.
LEBEN SAID AMBELER's plan called for "two clusters of services." One cluster requested the ability to provide a telephone number. The would be
responsible to individual services, such as counselling, financial aid, placement, careers and health.
Ambler now coordinates the functions of the offices of the dean of men, dean of women, dean of foreign students, admissions and records, placement, student financial aid, housing, the Counseling Center, the Information Center, the Student Health Service and the Kansas Union.
Ambler said last night that he hoped the reorganization would make the division more efficient and would eliminate any unnecessary office functions.
He said that finances had not been a part of the reorganizational considerations and that no one knew how much it would cost.
Laura Pinkston, a member of the advisory board, said the board had voted to make a recommendation to the administration that the dean of women's office not be abolished. If that was not possible, the board
She said that Del Shankel, executive vice chair, met with the board last night and he said that a decision about reorganization would not be made public until he had met again with the advisory board.
would recommend that the resource center be made accountable to a vice chancellor and not to a dean.
SHANKEL SAID last night that he would talk with Ambler today to see whether there would be time to meet with the board before a decision was announced. Shankel said he and Chancellor Archie R. Dykes would have to approve the plan before it was made public.
Reaction to the organization, however, was mixed. Sedgwick said, "I think the decision was more political than administrative. They are obviously divided in role the dean of women's office has played at KU."
She said the people who made the decision were not
members of the dean of women's office or students who she said needed the office the most.
AMBILER SAID THAT the Presidents Roundtable, a discussion group composed of student leaders, had discussed the proposed new curriculum.
Mike Harper, student body president, said members of the roundtable were pleased with the reorganization plans, even though all the details had not been released.
"I think the merging of the dean and dean of women's offices is a great idea," Harper said. "I don't know of any institution that still has two separate offices."
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY
If the dean of women's office is abolished, it will remove the access to role models that women have now. *Snowball*
However, members of the advisory board seemed to disagree.

Indians protest bill with walk, concert
By TIMSHEEHY

Strains of rock music set to the beat of Indian tom-toms echoed off the halls of Haskell Auditorium last night.
The music, part of a benefit concert for an Indian protest march, "The Largest Walk," at Haskell Junior Indian College attracted a large crowd of students.
The benefit, which featured performances by singers Michael Murumu and Buffy Sainte-Marie, was designed to generate support for the Indian singer.
Indian leaders say the legislation will obliterate Indian heritage and rights in the United States.
The march began Feb. 10 from Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay and will continue to Washington, D.C. The 200 marchers from 80 tribes have trudged their way over the snow-clogged Rocky Mountain passes and now have reached Emporia.
However, several members of the march were driven to the benefit in Lawrence and returned to Emporia later in the night. Their march ended with a celebration at the church.
ALL OF THE proceeds from tickets sales to the benefit will go to defray costs incurred during the march.
Bob Wahpehap, national coordinator for the Longest Walk, said the march was a historical Indian protest, designed to spawn educational awareness among Americans and the world about the plight of the American Indian.

"Support for our cause is good on the whole." Wahpehpani said. "We estimate that we have reached between 10 and 15 million people through
KUAC wants KU seating

Noting a University of Kansas Athletic Corporation deficit of more than $100,000, Doug Messer, assistant athletic director, asked the Athletic Seating Board of the Student Senate yesterday to consider giving up portions of student seating at basketball games to increase sales to the public.
"But when you go to sell that person a ticket, the first thing he wants to know is where the seats are. If they aren't good seats, a lot of times he won't buy them."
Messer said that the athletic department expected an increase in expenditures and that several methods of increasing revenue were being discussed.
"We're looking for ways to increase revenue, and one way is to promote seasonality."
"THERE ARE two ways that we can do
"I also don't know if the KUAC defect should be taken on the students. We're being trained to do it."
"I'd need to know whether the increase in revenue would be significant enough to give him more money."
Ron Allen, Sabethe sophromore, said he thought that student seats should not be given up to provide more seats for the public.
Messer said the loss in revenue was the difference between a good athletic program and a bad one.
"WE'D PREFER to have a successful program because it adds to the mission of the University by providing a valuable resource for all participants in an event," he said.

Messer said that many season ticket
"You represent a constituency. You can either make a short run, unpopular decision to give up some student seating, or you can decide the type of program the students want."
"The customer will usually provide scholarship aid to get certain seats," he said.
Dan Coon, Leawood junior, and that other methods of increasing revenue should be used.
The committee also decided to recommend that student season tickets be sold on a prepaid basis at enrollment and that single game tickets be sold on the last Friday of the season in a game to eliminate administrative problems in selling tickets on the day of the game.
holders contributed to the athletic scholarship program.
"I think that we need to have a lot more information before we can discuss this," he said.

WASHINGTON - The Senate approved the last of two Panama Canal treaties yesterday, agreeing to relinquish control of the waterway in the year 2000 and giving President Jimmy Carter a narrow but crucial victory.
Allen loses banner, flags
Allen Field House is one banner and two flags short.
A 4-foot by 8-foot banner of "Kansas" in red letters on a blue field that hung above the basketball court and two flags displayed outside were stolen from the field house late last week. Floyd Temple, physical plant at the athletic department, said yesterday.
U.S. Senate candidates eager to shape images
Temple said that someone apparently stayed in the building Thursday night after the two men arrived with ladders, maneuvered over barricades on the catwalk above the stands and took the stairs.
Temple said that someone stole the Kansas and Kansas State University flags from the veranda, on the east side of the building, during daylight hours Saturday.
The KU police have no suspects in the thefts.

was the great burden each of them placed on the American people.
Angell and Schuster agreed that more government efficiency was needed. Schuster called for the containment of "hamboyant government spending" and Angell stressed the need for deregulation of prices.
The candidates who are opposing Bill Roy, the only Democratic contender in the August primary for the seat to be vacated by Republican Sen James R. Pearson next fall are: Wayne Angell, Angel, Slate State. Michael J. Barris, Wichita; Nancy Landon Kassbaum, Wichita; State Sen. Meyers, Overland Park; and Deryl Schuster, Shawnee. Campaign platforms varied as the candidates focused on issues that ranged from inflation, government spending and the roles of state and local government.
Meyers and Hardage focused more on responsiveness of the government to the needs of the public.
Campaign pitches and promises dominated a noon forum at new Green Hall yesterday at which six Republican candidates from the U.S. Senate seat from the second district.
Angell and Schuster focused on government spending and taxes and what they said
stitution and the same margin by which the Senate approved the first treaty March 16.
"WE NEED TAX reliefs from the burdens of big government," he said.
"Government should be involved in the level of government closest to home that can deal with it."
Angell agreed, saying that across-the-board tax cuts were needed.
Schuster said the country had reached tpoint of excessive taxation from which the people could not go much further without relief.
Hardage said he wanted to put something back into the system.
Senate approved the first treaty March 16.
The same 68 senators who voted for the treaty later agreed.
GAAR AND KASSEBAUM appealed to the needs of the people of Kansas and offered their view of the responsibilities of a senator.
A farm parity bill recently introduced by
Sen. Doble Dole, I-Bin, with met with sharp
disapproval.
Gaar said that although he would be a Kansman first, he also would be a controversial senator. Kassabeau said in being the Senate was both a "service and a trust."
Angell said that higher land prices would hurt the farmers.
"A bill that requires farmers, or asks them, to抬泵 up their wheat is not an excuse."
Hardage said solutions to the problem would be to produce less and to sell more.
All candidates agreed that government spending could and had to be cut.
"THERE'S NO QUESTION we've got to cut it and can be cut." Schuster said.
But Gaar said, saying that care had to be taken in enactment of these laws. If sunset laws were carried too far, he said, there was a danger that the whole government would be forced to time justifying themselves to Congress and nothing else would be accomplished.
THE SENATE cleared the way for the historic final vote by first approving, 79-27, a compromise leadership amendment by Sen. Dennis DeConicm, D-Ariz., by stating that the United States had no right of internation in the internal affairs of Panama and all its force; it must, only to keep the canal open, neutral, secure and accessible.
Kassbeau said that government programs could not continue to be added to existing programs and that government could not be cut without also cutting taxes.
Such legislation provides that government agencies would be dissolved unless they could demonstrate their usefulness periodically to Congress.
Hardage said a set of sunset laws was needed to review government agencies to control smog.
Hardage said, however, that to correct excessive government spending, the root of the problem was the lack of money.
Tuesday's vote completed the deal, providing for actual transfer of the property.
The first treaty commits the United States and Panama to maintain the neutrality of the international waterway, which is open to ships from all countries.
CARTER indicated he would travel to Panama City in the next few weeks to form a nationalism leader Omar Torres. He said he would have with Torrigs by telephone after the vote and
