Education group needs more members
The Student Kansas National Education Association (Student KNEA) at the University of Kansas is headed for exposing students to the work and work according to its president, Rodney Hughes.
"The reason I say rebutt is because essentially the program is dead," Hughes
Student KNEA is an affiliate of the National Education Association (NEA), the largest professional teachers' organization in the country. In Kansas, Student KNEA has 24 campus chapters with more than 2,00 college and university members.
Hughes said KU's membership of 23 students was small when compared with Kansas State University's chapter of 166 NEA, which has more than 166 students.
"KU is not even tapping 90 per cent of its potential," he said.
RUTH NOYCE, adviser for the KU chapter of student KNENA, said the organization was more because students did not appear in school until they are enrolled in teacher-student teaching.
Noyce said students usually became members only because they wanted the liability insurance the organization provided.
For being a member of Student KNEA, a senior receives $300,000 professional liability insurance during the year of student-teaching.
"It's sad that people just join the organization for the insurance," Hughes said. "Students should join it to find out what's going on in their field."
The $300,000 liability insurance students receive this year is an increase of $200,000 from previous years. The insurance, which protects members when they are assigned to a particular employer, actually in cases of assault, damages, personal injury, bail bond and employment rights.
Budget . . .

Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said he had divided KU's requests into the categories in that order because the University's first concern was academics and it was unfair for academic programs to suffer at the expense of research and service programs.
BENNETT WAS ASKED by administrators to restore funding to KU's 2013 new or improved programs requests and several capital improvement projects. In particular, administrators stressed the importance of funding the graduate fee
waiver, the women's intercollegiate athletic program and improvements to Summerfield and Marvin Halls, which all were cut by Bibb.
Dykes had the $250,000 requested by KU to renovate Summerfield was desperately needed because of increasing utility costs caused by structural deficiencies and the increased enrollment in the School of Business.
Dykes said the building was always cold during the winter and extremely hot during the summer.
large glass area on the south side of the building and replacement of the roof would contribute to the energy efficiency of the building, he said.
Luca斯 renovation was necessary at Marvin Hall because it was the oldest building on campus that never had had any major renovation.
Council . . .
The Regents' calendar dictates that classes start on a Monday in the fall and on a Saturday in the spring.
calendar. The Regents have a policy of having common semester ending dates for each semester.
From page one
KU HAS REQUESTED $250,000 to renovate physical, electrical and heating aspects of Marvin and to recharge the building for more efficient use of space.
BECAUSE OF AN error in previous calendar planning, KU has violated the policy for the spring semester starting date since the policy was adopted in 1970. KU spring semesters have begin on Mondays; the summer session on the last three days of the week before.
Several members recommended a study be made in subsequent years on the Wednes- day.
Ron Calgaard, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said KU suffered because it was bigger than the other Regents' Institutes and required more days for enrollment.
Discussion arose at the Council meeting about the Regents' mandatory starting date.
THE OTHER institutions can go through enrollment on Monday and Tuesday and enroll on Thursday.
Hughes said that if Student KNEA at KU is to rebuild itself, it needs to publicize itself. (Hughes)
said. "Obviously that would be impossible for a university our size."
Calgaard said plans were being made to recommend to the Council of Presidents to have the Regents mandate only a starting point for the university, each university to have its own starting day.
But Calgaard stressed that the startling date would be on Wednesday for at least another week.
Gil Dyck, ex officio member of the calendar committee, said another option to change the enrollment dates could be to attend January 12, Jan. 13 and Saturday morning, Jan. 14.
Hughes said. "I believe an important part of a teacher's job is to study the structure of learning."
However, the use of those dates was discouraged by Dyck, who questioned the chances of actually finishing up enrollment in a half day on Saturday.
"We usually have 9,000 to 10,000 students enroll on the last day." Dyck said. "I doubt the possibilities of enrolling that many students in a half day."
A full day of enrollment on Saturday is impossible because of a KU-Oklahoma basketball game Saturday night at Allen Field House.
Dyck said enrollment always had ended with a full day before this year,
"Presently I'm working on getting more members and officers who are not seniors and student-teaching," Hughes said. "We're doing more internships and juniors running the organization."
THE REGENTS-APROVED budget of $106,907,203 for the Med Center was cut by 48 percent.
Bibb said the amount of capital improvements requests by other state institutions would exceed the state building budget by about $17 million, so the Regents' institutions should "be prepared for drastic cuts."
In addition to liability insurance, Student KNEA members have access to the $1 million Du Shane Fund. The fund protects students involved in litigation during their student-teaching. The fund supports student teachers in court battles against expansion
Budget hearings were held for the seven Regents' institutions last Wednesday and Thursday. In addition to KU, the other Regents' institutions are: Kansas State University, Emoria State University, Wichita State University, Pittsburg State University, Fort Hays State University and Kansas Technical Institute in Salina.
TO BECOME a member of Student KNEA, a student must pay a $7.50 fee.
"It is important to learn how NEA can benefit your teaching and your students."
Look into Air Force ROTC. And there are 4-year, 3-year, or 2-year programs to choose from. Whichever you select, you'll leave college with a commission as an Air Force officer. With opportunities for a position with responsibility ... challenge ... and, of course, financial rewards and security.
The courses themselves prepare you for leadership positions ahead. Positions as a member of an aircrew...or as a missile launch officer...positions using mathematics...sciences...engineering.
Look out for yourself. Look into the Air ForceROTCprogramsoncampus.
