Fraternity fire . . .
From page one
Ewons said members house to move back into the repaired house by next fall. About 40 members probably will live out of house for the rest of this semester, he said.
Several members will take turns turning the night in the house until repairs are completed as a precaution against vandalism, Ewonus said.
Electricity had been restored by yesterday and workmen also had partly restored water service. A team of workers took the house yesterday to rid it of the smoke odor
HELP FOR fraternity members has not been lacking. Local businesses have offered discounts on clothing to fraternity members and have encouraged them to visit the local professional dry cleaner has offered to
clean members' clothes damaged by smoke
Turvey said an emergency fund had been set up by the Office of Student Financial Aid to make loans of up to $400 available to fraternity members.
Fraternity members were allowed to buy textbooks on credit from the Kansas Union
Ewons estimated that 20 members lost all their possessions in the fire.
"I'm amazed at the way that people have come out and offered anything they have,"
"There has been quite a little bit of shock," Ewonus said. "But we've had offers of help. The community as a whole is concerned."
Ewonus said fraternity members had met several times since the fire to keep in touch and keep members together as much as possible.
Retirement . . .
From page one
would have begun faculty retirement at age 62. Mandator retirement at KU is now at age 70.
KU faculty members were unhappy with the plan, citing its general untraciveness
Under that plan, a professor retiring at age 62 would receive health insurance coverage and 60 percent of his former income for only one year following his retirement. After that, according to the plan, he would receive benefits from an annuity for the remainder final to which professors contribute about 3 percent of their annual salaries.
HOWEVER, WILLIAM Westerbeck, chairman of FaeX, said yesterday that the Regents were discussing what they thought would be a more equitable plan.
"I think the plan under discussion currently by the Regents is viewed far more
favorably by FacEx and members of the faculty." Westerbek said.
He said the most important change in the new proposed retirement plan was the change to the benefits system.
"This is where a teacher may start retirement at age 62 and teach one semester and take off the next," he said. "I think this class is the most attractive incentive of the entire plan."
He said he thought the Regents decision to table the proposal until June was a wise one.
"FWOLD have been next to impossible to plan the to the legislature by this session, so we were able to, the plan would not have had all the fine details that we would have liked it to."
"Now we have the time to get complete faculty input, be as prepared as possible and present the best possible plan for the teachers' benefit."
Athletic program...
From page one
"The University might stand to lose federal funds, but we don't speculate on the outcome and if there are penalties, they will come after the investigation," Thomas said.
According to the office of research administration, KU's Lawrence campus is located at 1046 W. 28th St.
HOGAN SAID the report was to remain confidential.
Bill Hogan, associate executive vice chancellor, said that there had been no adjudication with respect to Title IX but that Title IX's Self-Evaluation Committee had evaluated the athletic training programs at KU.
The committee's interpretation of Title IX, according to Hogan, was concerned with equal participation as opposed to equal funding, which in the past had been difficult because of the difference in the men's and women's programs.
Hogan said his department had made a concerted effort to support the women's program and to deal with problems as they occurred.
The women's program is partly funded by the Student Senate, but Senate funds are to be discontinued after this year. The Kansas culture has been requested to assume funding.
"We're still working on funding," Hogan said, and "we are doing everything we can to support our students."
WHAT'S AN NSA CAREER? It's different things to different people.
Of course, most of the employees at the National Security Agency have certain things in common: they are civilians employed by the Department of Defense; they are engaged in projects vital to our country a communications security and intelligence aircraft company Federal employment. However, the differences between our career opportunities are just as interesting as their similarities. For example.
TO THE ELECTRONIC ENGINEER (BS MS). An NSA career means delving into unique projects which can span every phase of the R&D cycle. An engineer may design, develop, test and manage contracts on equipment and systems whose capacities and speeds are still considered futuristic in most quarters.
TO THE COMPUTER SCIENTIST (BS MS). It means applying his or her knowledge in a wide range of
sub-disciplines such as systems design, systems programming, operating systems, computer applications
TO THE MATHEMATICIAN (MS). A career means defining, formulating, and solving complex communications-related problems. Statistical mathematics, matrix algebra and combinatorial analysis are just a few of the tools applied by the NSA mathematician.
TO THE LINGUIST (BA MA D). A career consists of transcribing, translating, and perhaps conducting analyses and documentation projects. Slavic, Mid-Eastern, and Asian language majors can expect challenging assignments and continuing self-development.
