Nursing school seeks approval of eight additional faculty positions
BY STEVE MAUN Staff Renorter
The School of Nursing at the University of Kansas Medical Center needs at least eight nurses and two physicians because of increased enrollment, Doris A. Gatley, dean of the School of Nursing, said.
The Senate and House Ways and Means Committee, in discussion with KU's budget proposal for which Gov. John Carlin has recommended that eight new faculty positions be appended.
"If only five or six positions are in the bag, I think there will be a real problem. I think the faculty would be really hard to work with all of numbers, we will lose faculty." Geiger said.
CURRENTLY, a shortage of faculty members has forced the School of Nursing to limit the size of some electric classes, to prevent vascular and emergency care. she said.
"I think it is important that the students should have access to the kinds of courses that they want to take and that will improve their training." Getty said.
Initially, 19 additional faculty positions were granted, Gettige Fight. Eight of the positions are now to be created enrollment and the rest would be used to initiate a baccalaureate completion program.
The baccalaureate program would enable nurses with three-year diplomas or two-year associate degrees to complete a baccalaureate curriculum, she said.
Geitgey said undergraduate enrollment at the school had increased from 167 students in 1975 to 221 students in 1979, while the school's enrollment had increased from 102 students to 209.
Although enrollment has increased rapidly since 1975, the Legislature has funded only 11 additional faculty positions, she said.
THE NATIONAL LEGISLATION for Nursing, which accretes nursing schools, requires a graduate degree and/or a bachelor's degree students and one teacher to every four graduate students, Gegety said. The Med Center meets the undergraduate student requirements of one teacher for every 12 graduate students.
"I don't think the state has looked very carefully at what we are doing and what we have done with grants, but the grants are not for our students," she said. "Look at what it looks the school of Nursing."
The Med Center also has 11 faculty positions that are funded by federal grants, she said. She has applied for extensions on her grants, which will expire within two years.
LAST YEAR the School of Nursing requested nine additional faculty positions and received money for four, Geitgay said. That amount was cut in half when federal funds
"You are going to lose faculty if you don't have the money to pay them. You is going to stay around because they are good-hearted." Getty said.
A starting nursing faculty salary at the Med Center is $15,500, she said. At the University of Missouri School of Nursing in St. Louis, Mo., the starting salary is about $2,000.
"We have a very stable faculty in general. I think the reason they are staying is because it is a good school," Getty said.

"Obviously one person knows something," he said. "But unless someone comes forward with more information, we don't have any ideas."
The fire in an auxiliary elevator Feb. 4 caused an estimated $17,000 damage and led to the building's evacuation early that morning.
THE INTERVIEWS failed to identify anyone responsible for the fire. McSwain said.
McSwain and a detective with the Lawrence Police Department interviewed the suspect on Saturday. Because Naishtim is privately owned, the University of Kansas police did not assist him.

Waller and Meyer said they thought the toilet paper was stockpiled over a length of time and was not taken all at once.
Waller said Naismith had had no false fire alarms since the fire.
A $5,000 reward for information leading to the identity of the arsonist is being offered by the Kansas Insurance Department.
Meanwhile, Resident Director Ed Waller said life at Naismith was back to normal.
"We averaged about three a week before the fire. But we haven't had one since then," he said.

BILL VICARY, manager of Naismith Hall, said it might take six months to repair the elevator.
Residents are more curious about the identity of the arsonist than they are afraid, he said.
"Of course, we would like to know who set the fire," he said.
WALLER AND assistant director Travis Meyer both said they thought the fire was a prank that got out of hand.

"We haven't received a final estimate yet," Vicary said. "Because the elevator is not a standard one we have to put our name on a list and wait for the parts."
The day after the fire McSwain said a
Waller said, "We really don't think anyone was trying to set the whole building on fire."
Waller said, "I never thought we needed them (smoke detectors), but no one would have been up at that hour when the fire broke out. In them we might not have known in time."
Vicary said the alarm system at the building was checked every time the hall closed. During Christmas break, smoke from a fire in the building added to the building's alarm system.
