Hardcastle Appointed Acting Dean
Social Welfare Search Committee Seeks New Dean
By RICHARD PAXSON
Kansan Staff Reporter
David Hardcastle, associate dean of the School of Social Welfare at the University of Kansas, has been appointed acting dean of the school.
The appointment was announced yesterday by Ambrose Saricks, vice chancellor for academic affairs. Hardcaste will serve until a permanent dean is found to replace Arthur Katz, who resigned on July 1 to return to teaching in the school.
Hardcastle received his Ph.D. in social welfare from Case Western Reserve University.
He has taught courses in social problems, program analysis, income maintenance, mental health and human resources development in the school.
His first objective for the coming year is to find a new dean for the school, Hardcastle said. He is chairman of the search committee that is seeking a new dean.
He said he wasn't a candidate for the position.
"A second objective would be to show which relations with the community," he said.
A third goal is to increase awareness about the university of what is actually happening on campus.
Hardcastle said he agreed with statements made by Chancellor Archie R. Dykes regarding the necessity for Outreach programs to fulfill the University's obligation to provide continuing education to the people of the state.
"There needs to be a wider interpretation of what social welfare is all about," Hardcastle said. "It's not just public assistance."
The school has been falsely accused by "hard" scientists of not teaching students to be traditional academic researchers, he said.
"Our research runs the gamut," Hardcaste said, " Our participant-observed field observations are useful for critical difference in our research on a continuum for purely conceptual to purely applied, we're on the applied side. But the rationality and rigor of our research is not sufficient."
The national welfare system is in a mess,
$210,000 Moves Urban Renewal Into 2nd Phase
Following the renovation of downtown Lawrence last year, the second phase of urban renewal is now taking its "first step into residential areas in a concentrated effort," Dennis Kallson, assistant city manager, said yesterday.
The Neighborhood Development Program recently received $210,000 from the department of Housing and Urban Development for urban renewal. These funds will be used to remodel several old homes and to construct a project called the Green City that will connect 11th and Haskell with Massachusetts Street at 6th or 7th streets.
The city will buy five houses that are in need of repair, relocate the families and repair the structures before putting the homes on the open market for sale, Kallson said.
Another phase of the Neighborhood Development Program will provide four direct grants of $3,500 each to underprivileged families to help with the repair of their homes. What the $3,500 does need to be borrowed at three per cent interest rate.
The Haskell loop will help to prevent the random use of residential streets in the area by serving as a major traffic artery connecting the east end of town to downtown Lawrence, Commissioner Nancy Hambleton said.
The city has also begun planning for urban renewal in east and north Lawrence.
"A portion of the federal grant is being used for research in these areas to get an idea of priorities for future development," Kallison said.
Acting Dean of School of Social Welfare, David Hardcastle, Discusses Objectives
"The system performs a function for employers because it provides a large pool of unskilled labor," Hardcastle said. "It also performs a function for the American
middle class because it prevents questioning of typical notions of work and employment.
He said the policy-makers had failed to develop a clear definition of social welfare. This failure has resulted in a piecemeal welfare system, Hardcastle said.
Students Create Own Employment
"Public assistance planning has been fragmented from social and economic planning."
Hardcastle recently represented KU at a National Association of Social Workers conference on legal regulation of the profession.

For several college students this summer, self-employment apparently beats the unemployment office.
Newsaper ads and bulletin board notices list an array of student services, including house painting, sewing, yard work, cleaning.
"It's pretty hard to job a in this town that pays over $2 an hour." Wally Palmer. Winnetka. III. senior. said yesterday.
Palmer does house painting in Lawrence with four other college students and makes $15 in hour, depending on the type of house paint used.
"TO EARN DECENT PAY, you have to organize your own business or just be plain lucky," he said.
The competition is tougher this summer because so many people are doing house painting, said Palmer. Painting has become an insecure profession because of the competition, but it beats working for minimum wage, he said.
Self-employment is as great as long as you're willing to hustle, said Breck Ridgway. Kliwa graduate student, who does outdoor
"I can do as much as I want, usually working a 10-hour day,"
Ridgway said. "The pay is good. I am my own boss and I enjoy
working."
He said the biggest response for his service stemmed from personal contact with peonle.
"If we spot that looks a little bit shabby, we will go to the door and ask the person if he wants it painted," he said.
"You'd be surprised at the number of customers we get this way."
Kristy Bjerkan, Prairie Village junior, said she housework as a part-time job but quit when a full-time job came through.
"I didn't mind my job cleaning house at all," Bierkan said. The people I worked for were fantastic. I just wanted more of a shop.
"At the time I took the job, I was enrolled in school, so it was able to be able to help with homework are flexible enough to allow me to keep up with work in school."
"I couldn't get a job that was just for the summer, so I decided to run an aid in the paper offering to do house cleaning," said Jeanette Wane, Lawrence junior. "I've had good response and even think I make more money this way."
GARY SHAPIRO, assistant professor of philosophy, said he and his wife contacted student help through one of the women's
"Student help is usually more mature than younger people around the neighborhood," said Shapiro.
The two girls who have helped Shapiro have done housework and babysitting.
Students said that setting their own work hours, being their own boss and working at their own speed were advantages in
Special advantages are often to be gained. One woman brought out coffee every morning and browns each afternoon.
"Another painting job we did even supplied us with six-packs of beer." Palmer said.

Turkey Saves It Won't Attack U.N. Troops
Dole Has Spent Twice as Much as Roy
Campaign finance statements required by law show that Sen. Bob Dole, K-1an, has spent $309,353 this year in his bid for re-election, challenger Rep. Bill Roy, D-Kan, has spent $142,544. Dole is unopposed in the Republican primary Aug. 6 and Roy, who has Democratic opposition from former state Treasurer George Hart, Wichita, is expected to win the Democratic nomination to oppose Dole.
Turkey assured Secretary-General Kurt Woldheim yesterday that its forces would not attack United Nations peacekeeping forces holding the airport at Nicosia, Cyprus. The U.N. Security Council met in a closed night session after the Turkish military's force on the Mediterranean island reported that he feared a turkish assault.

The Supreme Court rules today on what may be the most sweeping school integration plan ever ordered in the United States, a massive busing program for a three-county area around Detroit. The plan for busing across school districts is largely unchanged from the burdensome urban district, but not by the Detroit district—about 64 per cent black.
Supreme Court to Rule on Detroit Busing Plan
St. Clair gave no timetable for the tur-
nover but spoke of a "time-consum-
ing" business.
The President had fought turnover of the tapes on grounds of executive privilege, but the Supreme Court said the need for the tapes in the Watergate cover-up-trial supervised any generalized claim of such privilege.
The statement said Nixon hoped that his action 'will contribute to strengthening' the principles of executive privilege, not serve as a precedent to destroy it.
The tapes will be turned over to Judge John J. Shrink, not the House Judiciary Committee, which was to begin its public appearance on Friday at an hour after St. Clair brief his first speech.
St. Clair first read the brief presidential statement, drafted after several hours of discussions yesterday between Nixon and his chief Watergate defense attorney.
He then said he would begin work on the turnover of tapes.
The possibility remained that Nixon's attorneys could challenge Sirica's rulings of relevance on various of the tapes, which cover a time span from June 20, 1972—three days after the Watergate break-in—to June 4, 1973.
This Weekend at the
Sirica now must review each of the tapes for relevance to the cover-up trial, which is scheduled to begin Sept. 9 for six former administration and Nixon campaign aides.
Previous tapes given to Sirica have eventually gone to the Judiciary Committee.
