the KU Alumni Association; Robert W. Wagstaff, executive vice president of the Alumni Club; Crow KU alumnus and Wichita physician; and Georgiana Morrill, KU alumna from Topeka.
One of the committee's first tasks will be the formulation of desired qualifications for permanent chancellor, Worth said. In interviews Friday, most of the search committee members would seek candidates who were well-qualified both as educators and as administrators.
"There has to be a balance between academic and administrative skills in the permanent cancellor—it won't help us if we choose someone who is super academically but who can't administer himself out of a paper bag." Worth said.
McKINNEY AGREED with Worth's characterization of a good chancellor
"Like most people I would like to have a good administrator for chancellor who understands the problems of faculty and students, and can sell himself." McKinney said.
"But I wouldn't want someone who was a good administrator at the expense of the academic and research."
But not every committee member said that equal stress should be placed on the administrative and educational criteria for permanent chancellor.
Davis stressed the need for a chancellor with academic strengths.
"I'll be looking for someone with a great deal of administrative skill, but also someone who is more academically oriented than Chancellor Dykes has been," Davis said.
IN CONTRAST TO Davis, Becker said he would stress the administrative rather than the educational qualifications for permanent chancellor.
"I will bring to the committee my business experience," said Becker. Becker graduated from KU in 1958 and founded the Becker Corp, one of the largest trucking companies in Kansas. He is now president of the First National Bank of El Dorado.
"I want more of an administrator for chancellor," he said. "I know some people on the committee associated with the University may want more of an educator, but I have to look at the position of chancellor on the basis of my business experience."
The search committee will probably take from six to 10 months to complete its nationwide
search for a permanent successor to Chancellor Archie R. Dykes, John Conard, Regents
At the end of that time it will submit names of the five best-qualified applicants to the Regents, and the one who passes will be given an award.
Morrill, who graduated from KU in 1949 and characterized herself as a housewife, said 'I was very shy. I don't want to get attention.'
McKinney said, "I was surprised. I don't think normally put engineers on these kinds of courses."
"I will be looking for a whale of lot of input from other faculty members on what they want in the department."
Davis said, "I'm pleased to see that students make up a third of the committee. Students usually are represented only one in five on University governance committees. It took the Board of Regents to give students fair representation."
Some Lawrence children have made new friends for the summer but they don't ride bicycles, play baseball, or go swimming together. Their new friends are elderly residents of the Samaritan Lodge Adult Care Home, 205 N. Michigan.
Kids, aged, reap friendship
Dan Ward, Samaritan Lodge administrator, said last week that activities between the children and the elderly were part of the home's estate and set residents back into the Lawrence community.

Children from the New York Elementary School Summer Recreation Program work twice a week with the residents on a vegetable garden the two groups planted next to the home.
"They just light up when they see the kids," Ward said about the residents.
two meet three times a week for various social activities. Children from the school range in age
Ward also encourages staff employees to bring their children with them to establish a family center.
Ward said some elderly people were better off outside nursing homes, even though most need so-called home care.
David Campbell, professor of psychology, said some nursing homes were moving away from the hospital.
Nursing homes though, can be restrictive.
Campbell said the problem with nursing homes was that good one cost more money.
"Nursing homes eliminate a lot of decisions"
"They isolate you from contacts you
used to have. We need them."
Ward, however, said the extra $30,000 to Ward that count supported home received was not needed. The $40,000 received was needed.
"The money is simply not needed to
dramatically improve current nursing home care. "Ward said."
Ward said one non-profit, county-supported in lawrence, placed too much emphasis on masonry in lawrence.
"The damm emphasis has always been on processes," Ward said. "It should be on out-
It may be helpful, but it is not necessary.
An example of Ward's simplistic approach can be seen in the case of a female resident who recently suffered a stroke but was given greater care than an average person. The patient did not lift the walker abeauty using after her stroke.
Ward, who has been administrator at Samaritan Lodge for a year and a half, thinks the problems with nursing home care have simple causes. She also the complicated processes some other homes use.
But, Ward added the wheels and she is now able to walk, rather than be confined to a wheel.
Shelter for women faces funding crisis
By SUSANA NAMNUM
Staff Reporter
After a grim episode last March, which some protagonists called smear tactics, the Women's Transitional Care Services, a Lawrence shelter and women's faces a financial future that is somewhat in limbo.
THE SHELTER, which also houses the children of battered women, was the target of the Eudora-based Kansas chapter of the Pro-Family Forum, which thwarted a WTCS request for community development funds. The money would have gone toward moving the crowded North Side of Bent Nash Mental Health Clinic building, 4th and Missouri, which will be vacated next week.
The uproar last March was sparked by a move that Barkley Clark, Lawrence City Commissioner, and WTCS supporters called politically unwise—a newspaper ad in which
Although the shelter is not in financial jeopardy, it faces a June 1891 cutback of its Law Enforcement Assistance Administration grant. Its new coordinator, Patricia Doria, painted an uncertain but optimistic picture of its financial future.
shelter used its phone number as a referral for a lesbian group.
THE PRO-FAMILY group, headed by Jan Hoover, Lawrence, hurled accusations at the shelter, called it a "den of lesbianism" and threatened to produce testimony that the staff had been gearing residents toward a lesbian lifestyle.
BEFORE THE UPROAR, the city commission probably would have approved the WTCS request, he said. But now the shelter's chances of having the old clinic building were rather slim, he added.
"The timing of the whole thing was most un-fulfilled to the deal." "It threw a monkey hunter into the deal."
Pam Johnston, WTCS coordinator at the time, called the episode terrifying and said the service withdrew its community development request for fear the enrolment would turn slanderous. She said she was certain that the accusations were unfounded.
Clark, who stressed the importance and excellence of the care WTCS provides, said he encouraged Johnston's move less the situation than the reality of scaling to the staff and volunteers at the shelter.
Clark emphasized the importance of community funds to offset the LEAA cut, but said that to quality, the shelter would have to prove to commission that certain changes had been made.
The appointment last month of Doria as new WTCS coordinator is one change that Clark said might help clear the air and pave the way for future funding.
The Governor's Commission on Criminal Administration, the federal Comprehensive Employment and Training Act and local church groups all currently contribute to the shelter.
DORIA SAID she hoped the state and the Lawrence community would pay for a service that was needed.
"We intend to apply for foundation grants and revenue sharing funds and to reapply for community development money," she said. "My hope is that a red herring like the fear of water will not cloud the issue and jeopardize the need for a safe place for battered women."
ALTHOUGH THE SHELTER staff said the pro-family group's accusations had not stalled funding, Clark said the affair had made several community groups that contributed to the
shelter wary and could have threatened its funding.
Barbara Hanna, Kansas Pro-Family Forum coordinator, said that her group recognized the need for a sanctuary for battered women and girls. In part, she saw as the shelter's affiliation with lesbian groups.
Hanna's group, which also opposed increased federal funding of community services, wanted to not only thwart the WTCS request, but also to place the shelter house under the auspices of local church or community organizations, according to Clark.
THE SHELTER HOUSE receives referrals from the police, hospitals, social agencies and church groups. Its three staff members and 40 volunteers provide care and counseling and act as advocates at social agencies where residents seek welfare and food stamp benefits.
The residents are Douglas County women who usually are penniless, unemployed, have several children.
