Views conflict on decline in sabbatical applications

Although the number of applications for sabbaticals is down from past years, faculty and administrators have conflicting reasons for the drop.
Of the 508 faculty members eligible for a babbathical this year, 67 applied for the 46 openings, according to June Michal, president of Gard, vice chancellor for academic affairs.
Michal said yesterday that the number of applicants had dropped since 1974. Eighty
applications were submitted in 1974, 83 in 1975 and 69 in 1976.
Calgaard, chairman of the University Committee on Sabatical Leaves, said he could not give a specific reason for the drop in applications.
"I know that some instructors who were declined sabbaticals last year did not reapply this year, and that plays a big factor in the low number," he said.
CALGARD SAID another reason might have been that some instructors who would build these models are very good at it.
better financial offers to achieve the results a sabbatical would offer.
According to Peter Turk, ex officio member of FacEx and the University Council, many faculty members declined to apply because it was difficult for them to finance their activities during the sabbatical period.
Sabbaticals are one- or two-semester leaves of absence from teaching and administrative duties to pursue advanced training in the job and gain industrial or professional experience.
South Africans re-elect Vorster
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP)—Prime Minister John Winston won a clear victory last night in segregated South Africa's election of an all-well Parliament.
With about half the votes counted, Vorster's conservative African衍篡-based National Party had won 84 of the 125 seats in the parliament, the capital of gaining more than the 116 seats it holds in the current Parliament. The Nationalists won 39 of the first 49 decided
contests, pickin' up four seats held by opponents, and were unopposed in 45 districts.
The liberal Progressive Federal Party, trying to supplant the centrist New Republic Party as the major opposition, had eight seats to the NRP's two. The ultra-rightist Hertzige Nasonale Party had no won seats. Vorstger had called the election 18 month
Vorster had called the election 18 months early.
HE WAS seeking support for a proposed new constitution that would set up separate parliaments for the 4.5 million whites, 2.5 million non-whites and Asians. There would be no representation
for blacks, who make up 70 per cent of the population.
About 2.2 million whites were registered, and about 60 per cent ventured out in rain and gales to cast ballots. The country's 19 million blacks are barred from voting.
Vorster, who also wanted a mandate to reject what he called meddling, by the United States and other nations in South America and public affairs, was re-elected by a hurem vote.
Justice Minister James T. Kruger,
criticized at home and abroad for his
handling of the death of detained black
leader Steve Kibei, also was re-elected.

But Don Marquis, FaeEx member, said yesterday the total number of eligible applicants is 120.
HOWEVER, FACEX decided Tuesday to continue to study the sabbatical policy until a plan could be developed that would satisfy the program's deadlines as well as the University faculty.
"I don't think there will be a significant rise in the number of applications until the problem of selection is finally solved," he said.
According to Calgair, however, any new change in the policy would not affect this industry.
Srinivasan said he did not apply for a batsicalt this year because he did not want to play.
"If I applied, I would be playing along with the way the rules are currently, and both fighting against them as a representative of FacEx and AAUp," he said.
SRINIVASAN SAID that when he was a member of the Faculty Privileges and Rights Committee, several departmental chairmen told the committee that their faculty members were not applying because of frustration with the selection procedure.
"You have to realize all it means is that there are 508 faculty members who have gone six years without receiving a sabbatical," he said.

An original proposal was rejected by Chancellor Archie R. Dykes because, he said, it conflicted with a Kansas Board of Trustees that sabbaticals be granted stepwise on merit.
The new policy would have allowed factors other than merit, such as length of service to the University and length of time about a sabbatical, to determine selections.
CONTROVERSY on sabbatical selections at KU arose last spring when the University Faculty Council proposed a new sabbatical policy.
