Intensive English Needs More Funds, Director Says
Although the Intensive English Center (IEC) is capable of operating within its present tight budget, it could use more T. Erzamus, IEC director, said yesterday.
"We have a viable operation, but we're under some constraint," he said.
Students protesting conditions at the center contended last Friday that the IEC was making $50,000 profit from the money collected as tuition fees.
The center is presently self-sufficient, operating on the fees collected from students, Erazmus said. The administration could provide extra funds, but the center is viewed as a peripheral organization, and so more money isn't likely, be said.
"I FEEL that moving in the direction of demanding more funds might jeopardize our infrastructure."
Robert P. Cobb, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said that he is planning to visit Ireland.
of the problem, and that hindering that more finances were forthcoming would be a big problem.
Cobb said that the relocation of the center from its present facilities at Foster Hall to a more adequate site was the primary concern of the IEC Advisory Committee.
ERAZMUS SAID the EEC building was in "depressing" condition, but the need for an emergency call.
Students at the center were divided in their opinions of the building's condition.
Hadi Hessam, IEC student, described the building as a "stable." He cited a leaking roof, classrooms without doors and cracked plaster and paint on the walls.
Mohammad Sheshebler, IEC student, said the building was depressing and boring.
Charbel Sarkis and Cagri Payok, IEC students, said the condition of Foster Hall wasn't as bad as as described. They admitted the need for renovation, but said
"the important thing is to learn to speak English."
PAT IRELAND, IEC assistant instructor, said Foster Hall needed some improvements, but preferred the building to Wescoe Hall.
"I honest and comfortable," she said. "Besides, it has a lot of windows."
John More, IEC assistant instructor, said the building was visually stimulating.
Erznusm said he thought the center had been slighted on the issue of the building. The issue has been under discussion by his administrators for several years, he said.
"At one time the building issue had high priority, but due to changes of personnel (in the University administration) and the relationship of the center to the University, things have gotten lost in the shuffle," Erzamus said.
KEITH LAWTON, director of University
Facilities Planning and Operation, said he bad no idea of priority for relocating the
Lawton said that long-range planning had classified the building as obsolete and that capital investments were kept to a minimum. The classification of "obsolete" buildings, as opposed to "retail" facilities, Lawton said, however, there weren't any immediate plans to relocate the center.
ERAZMUS SAID he had never discussed financial matters with the students and refused to disclose budget figures until the students had presented specific charges.
Erazmus had repeated his denial that the center had made $50,000 from the fees collected from students. He said that the students might have confused a budgetary surplus with profit, but said the figure of $50,000 was a gross misstatement.
University financial reports for fiscal 1973 revealed that the center had a deficit of almost $2 billion.

Unified Effort Sought to Stop Rape
Task Force Seeks Security, Protection for Women
The Rape Prevention Task Force, a committee established as the result of a bill presented to the Student Senate in early March, began researching actions to aid the prevention of assault and rape on campus and in the Lawrence area Sunday.
The purpose of the task force is to investigate all effective means of rapa delivery.

training would help to provide services available and develop ideas in other areas to help curb assault and rape.
Some years there is a defect, and some years there is a balance carried over for the next year's use, but in the long run it balances out, be said.
Professor Gets Grant
Mary Collins, associate Professor of religion will study anthropological approaches to religious ritual and ritual processes during the 1974-75 academic year under a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The force is to report to the Student Senate in three weeks, at which time Beiser佣勋 that definite proposals could be action started before the semester ends.
She will work with anthropologist Victor Turner Turner and the staff of Murphy Center for Liturgyal Research at Notre Dame from Jan. 1 to June 15.
the voluntary program, according to Barbara O'Brien, Bonner Springs sophomore and chairman of the force, will investigate preventive measures such as security phones, campus patrols, better lighting and improved escort services.
"We are looking into the possibility of having two or three phones with direct lines."
O'Brien said these phones would be placed on campus and hopefully on the outside of buildings so they would be easily accessible. No dialing would be involved; the connection would be direct to a campus security office.
Robert Nash, Lawrence senior, is a member of the Task Force and has been looking into the possibilities of a campus walker service.
**a** vash said the walker would probably be a student with a walkie-talkie who would walk the campus area, looking and listening for crimes or assaults in progress. This program would probably run from 4 p.m. until, as Nash considers these high time hours.
The Kansas Police Academy in Hutchinson seems receptive to the idea and would be willing to help with the training program, Nash said.

Erzmus attributed this deficit to an unexpected drop in the number of students enrolled at the center. The center operated with smaller than-normal class sizes, he
Erazmus said the center operated on a rotating budget. He said the income from
Nash said he was also investigating the cost time and probable effectiveness of this approach.
O'Brien said members of the task force were looking into the possibilities of a gradual but constant improvement in campus lighting systems.
the first task force meeting Sunday that many living groups already had escort systems. Under these programs, lists are made containing names and phone numbers of students who have rides to and from campus and the Lawrence area after bus services have stopped.
Mike Thomas, director of Security and Parking, said the "University is continually adding lighting as much as is physically and monetarily possible."
Thomas said that more lights would be provided from the Wesco Hall fund, but any other lighting would have to originate from budgetary increases.
It was reported that McCollum Hall now has 30 to 18 male volunteers working from 1 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday on this program.
The task force, O'Brien said, will also work with the Whistle-Stop Organization. The Whistle-Stop Organization plans to sell the equipment in help in case of an assault, O'Brien said.

"No son. Levis don't grow. They're made."
"But, 9 thought you said that Levi's really grow on you."
"Well yes, but 9 didn't mean . . . "
