Calgaard said the University had made some recent progress in increasing the number of women employed in faculty and professional positions at the University, but he stressed the need for a stronger effort in attracting minorities.
"Our performance in the recruitment of minorities is far less favorable," Calgaard's letter said. "Last year, for example, no blacks, native Americans or Cicheros were added to our class list." Our minority failed to identify a single minority candidate for a faculty position.
--openings competing with as many as 75 other applicants at one time."
"WE NEED TO do a better job of identifying qualified minority candidates, and recruiting them for positions at the University of Kansas."
Once a job opening develops, the employer makes a job description and salary restrictions and sends them to Calgair's office. After Calgair's approval, the description and salary restrictions are sent to the Office of Affirmative Action for final approval.
After final approval, the department searching for applicants is free to advertise
Janet Riley, assistant to Calgaard, said one problem in attracting minorities was the relatively small number of qualified minorities available for hiring.
"Every university in the country is after these applicants, which makes it a very competitive and limited field," she said. "I think Ron was asking for a more stringent effort to successfully compete in this class." She added that the University better known to minorities.
She added, "The biggest problem is the small number of (minority) applicants for
Jackson said the tendency of minorities to apply to universities surrounding major urban areas might be one problem in attracting minorities.
"Many minorities don't know much about Lawrence," he said. "I think we need to identify minority-rich areas and make them aware of KU's assets and qualities."
He said that he was convinced a number of minority candidates were available, but that it was up to the University and the minorities to seek each other out.
RLEY SAID ALL faculty job openings were advertised in the Chronicle for Higher Education, which goes to all universities, and each individual department also advertised job openings in the journals of their field.
For example, the School of Journalism advertises all job openings in the newsletter put out by the Association of Education in Journalism, which goes to all journalism educators, according to Del Brinkman, dean of the School of Journalism.
Brinkman said the openings also were advertised in other journals, depending on where they were published.
But Jackson said advertising job openings in professional journals that have a high minority readership would help inform minorities of the openings.
Jung Kong Lee, assistant dean of the chemistry department, said that all job openings in his department were advertised for a graduate engineering News, which all chemists receive.

Alden began regional science fair competition in seventh grade. During high school, he said, he worked from 20 to 30 hours a week on his project.
"IGOT CARRIED away with it," he said. Although he was nicknamed "scholar" by some high school friends, Alden said, he tried to keep himself involved in other activities. He was president of his school's student council and a student council and a team captain on the varsity wrestling squad. His high school grade point average was 3.9.
The summer before his senior year, Alden worked at the Eleanor Roosevelt Cancer Research Center in Denver. He also has researched at the Fort San Houston Army Base in San Antonio and has worked to work at the Denver Cancer Center, the Cleveland Clinic and the National Cancer Research Center in Maryland.
"I WAS A LITTLE apprehensive about working at the Denver clinic," Alden said. "But the doctors and professional people respected me and treated me as an equal. That clinic had all the facilities I could dream of."
As a high school junior and senior, Alden published research twice in the Senior Academy of Sciences Journal. He now is working on a third article to be published.
"After publications about my work, I received mail almost every day," he said. "People wrote me saying their母 or mum was dying from cancer and asked if my research could help. I couldn't believe they were writing me.

"I wrote them back and tried to be very sympathetic. I told them which hormones had the best effect and recommended that they seek a more professional institution."
Alden is trying to get facilities at KU to continue his research and has applied for a National Science Foundation grant. His project has not been funded before.

Alden said he devoted a lot of time to his projects, comments and thinking about his project in general.
"I wonder whether it will ever be of practical use or whether it will help mankind," the results are said. "That it not disfigured. If it will work, we'll know in a few years."

Jain says it's just the first day of school."
"BESIDES, I have to work for a living," he said.
He said he would have to bowl 20 games a day, day in and day out, to become good at it.
Boozer said he was not allowed to advertise the Jay Bowl because it is designed to give students opportunities to bowl at cheaper rates than at area bowling alleys.
Boozer has been teaching bowling and managing the lay bowl at the Kansas Union
'But for one reason or another, I just haven't had sufficient time to devote to the practice it would take to become a professional bowler.' he said.
"We rely on whoever replies to our openings."

In his 12 years of teaching at the University of Kansas, Warren Boozer, bowling teacher and manager of the Jay Z Academy, taught four champion bowlers in his classes.
In 1989, a former student, Ronald Mick,
placed second in the National Bowling
Tournament in Chicago. Fred Schneider
won the 1971 Men's Champion Bowling
Congress Tournament, and George Bowen
w it in 1974. Pat Brune won the Women's
International Bowling Conference
Championship in 1975.

The Student Health Advisory Board tomorrow will begin consideration of who will be eligible to buy student health insurance in the future.
Boozer's bowlers rolling to titles
Boozer, whose bowling average is about 150, said that at one point, he had thought of going to the ballpark.
David Dyer, Leawood senior and chairman of the nine-member health board, said the board would begin to meet with administrators to get their ideas on the definition of a "student" for insurance purposes.
Student board to discuss health insurance eligibility
He said the group would meet tomorrow with Gil Dyck, dean of admissions and records, and planned to meet with David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, William Argerstein, dean of the Graduate and Clark Coen, dean of foreign students.
KYLE WARD, REPRESENTATIVE OF Blue Cross-Blue Shield, told the health board last Friday that his company wanted to redefine which students could buy the books and materials to undergraduate students enrolled in a minimum of six hours credit and graduate
students enrolled in a minimum of three courses.
Blue Cross-Blue Shield now provides cover on the first day of travel by the student insurance plan at KU.
All students now enrolled at KU can apply for student health care rates.
One way to limit coverage would be to allow only students enrolled in a specific number of credit hours to buy the plan. If this policy would be adopted, Dyer said, an establishment to evaluate each student's status, thus providing a method of arbitration.
A SECOND WAY to limit those eligible for the student plan would be to deny coverage to students who could buy insurance where they were employed. A third solution would be to let only degree-seeking students buy the plan.
Redefining who would be eligible for health insurance is an effort to keep people in their respective insurance brackets, he said, and people enrolled in only one hour who buy student health insurance eventually force insurance premiums up.
