Dal Shankel, executive vice chancellor,
said yesterday he would submit within a week his recommendations concerning Chancellor B. Dykes and graduate studies to Chancellor Archie R. Dykes.
A task force, organized by Shankel last December, has reviewed the structure and organization of research and graduate submitted its findings to Shankel Feb. 11.
The report, released by Shankel's office yesterday, outlines two options for reorganization of the duties of the dean of the graduate school.
THIS STUDY was prompted by the resignation of William Argersinger, dean of the law school.
Argersinger's resignation is effective July 1. He said he planned to return full-time.
Because of the difficulty involved in acquiring a person with Argersinger's experience and dedication, it was time to find someone with the same Johnson, assistant to Shankel, said.
Under one of the committee's options, the dean of the graduate school would be affiliated with the research and public service sector of the University.
THE FIRST option also outlines duties for the vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public services; the University advisory committee for research and public services; the university research and public services; the associate vice chancellor for research and
The report also suggested guidelines for organization of research administration offices on the Lawrence campus and the University of Kansas Medical Center campus.
graduate studies and dean of the graduate school.
THE REPORT stated the need for an inter-campus research committee. This committee would aid U and the Med Center, and provide the necessary tools and keep them informed of grants available.
Harold Orel, professor of English, was chairman of the eleven-member committee, which comprised several professors with research interests, the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the director of research and two graduate students.
The second option would incorporate the dean of the graduate school into the office of management.
The members interviewed University vice chancellors, graduate students and research officials at KU and the Med Center.
THE COMMITTEE also sent a letter to all faculty members using for comments and suggestions concerning the research and graduate studies program.
Ovel said the committee received a surprisingly large percentage of returns on the
After Shankel sends his recommendation of one of the committee's options to Dykes, the chancellor must approve or reject Shankel's proposal.
If research and graduate study reorganization is approved, work will begin as soon as possible to facilitate a smooth transition after Argersinger's departure.
Also, the dean of the graduate school would be the associate vice chancellor for academic affairs and the associate vice chancellor for intra-campus research and development.
Repairs begin next week on leaky roof at Oliver
Cries of "high water" coming from Oliver
were heard in rains so snowshoes should
be silenced by the fire.
Don McConnell, maintenance engineer for the University of Kansas residence hall system, said yesterday that a roofing contractor was scheduled to begin work next week to replace the roof above Oliver's lobby.
McConnell said nothing could be done about the leaky roof until next week because special insulation ordered when the roofing was installed in October had arrived only recently.
"Vincent Roofing of Topeka let the contract in October and had to order the insulation, which is tapered and must be fitted with fireproofing. It is going to be replaced." McConnell said.
Maintenance workers have inspected the roof of Oliver numerous times this year, he said, and had to patch another eight or nine holes Tuesday.
"They have more problems with their roof than any other hall," McConnell said, "and
Efforts fail to stop drug report says
Bv Gannett News Service
WASHINGTON—A current federal government program has done little to stem the flow of cocaine from South America into the United States, according to a report released yesterday by the General Accounting Office.
"The drug program in South America has had a minimal effect on the flow of narcotics," the accounting office report said. "Although the Drug Enforcement Administration says that since October 1977 progress in seizures and trafficking arrests has been encouraging, GAO believes such efforts are important but will not solve the problem."
A cooperative venture between the United States and South American governments has resulted in the seizure of less than 7 percent of the cocaine bound for American markets, the report said. It noted this figure was based on the most conservative estimate of the amounts of cocaine flowing from South America to the United States each year.
The GAO report was prompted by a request several months ago from Sanjob Javits, R-N.Y. A Jawits' spokesman said the complaint was related to receiving a number of constituent complaints. Most of the complaints alleged that American citizens were being thrown into substandard Bolivian prisons as the result of an executive agreement administration agents overseas.
Javis was in requesting the report by Sens. John Tower, R-Texas, Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas, and Frank Church, D-Idaho.
However, the accounting office report found that enforcement administration agents have generally complied with U.S. laws that prohibit them from becoming directly involved in drug arrests made by South American police.
Rather, the accounting office which is a congressional agency responsible for monitoring the executive branch, concentrated on how well the $10 million-a-year program is working. Generally, the office was pessimistic about the prospects of a flow of both cocaine and marijuana from South America to the United States.
"Department of State officials said that success in limiting the cocaine flow may take another 10, or even 20 years," the source said. "The majority of cocaine coming into the United States, and said Columbia has now surpassed the principal supplier of marijuana to U.S. markets."
The accounting office found that there had been little increase in narcotic arrests in the past five years as a result of the enforcement administration program, and many of these arrests involved 'small fry' who were trafficking in relatively small amounts of cocaine.
The U.S. drug control program in South American primarily involves training and assistance of South American police agencies by the enforcement administration along with efforts by the Agency for International Development to find an alternative to cocaine the crop from which cocaine is manufactured.
The agency also found U.S. officials in Peru and Bolivia pessimistic regarding the prospects of finding a crop substitute for coca attract to South American farmers.
THIS TRIPLE appointment, according to the report, would improve communication between the dean of the graduate school and public sector and academic affairs.
most of the holes are from objects being thrown on the roof that's over the lobby. *
John McGee, Oliver's resident director, said that maintenance workers had continually patched the top of the roof but that they had problems finding the holes.
He said that water leaked primarily into the lobby. McGee said he knew of no rooms in the building.
"But whenever there's water outside, it leaks in the lobby," McGee said.
He said he thought the bad weather had delayed the repair of the roof.
McConnell said that it would take only five or six days of good weather to completely fix
