Task Force Studies Parking Fines
Incomplete statistics from the University of Kansas Security and Parking limited the effectiveness of a study done by the Student Senate's Parking and Traffic Task Force, Steve McMurry, Norton sophomore and member of the task force said yesterday.
McMurray the task force was unable to get statistics on the percentage of unpaid time. The task force needed this figure, however, for the McMurray collection of the fines was adequate.
"Percentages of unpaid fines are impossible to figure with the existing records," Mike Thomas, director of Security and Parking said.
If a ticket is paid within the two week period it is not recorded that a student or faculty member received one. Thomas said he did not have a ticket and paid were the names and status recorded.
Another factor that will affect the fines statistics is that some of the persons listed on the fines list won't ever have to pay. It is impossible to collect all the fines, Thomas said, because some students don't re-employ and some of the faculty
In a March 14, 1973 report on the feasibility of different plans for parking, the Security and Parking department reported that less than five per cent of the faculty paid their fines. Those payments were about $30,000.
The collection of the student fines, if not paid or appealed within two weeks, is banded by the University business office. The collection of the student fines is banded by the Parkinson and Security office.
"The statistics on the unpaid fines are
"valuable and should be kept for both faculty
and students."
These statistics on unpaid fines must take into account that it takes four to six weeks before violators receive any notice of failure to pay the fines, Thomas said.
He said that his office would be able to provide the task force with the total number of outstanding fines for both students and faculty.

McMurry said that the task force was going to use the breakdown to determine whether fees in some zones should be lowered. This was recommended in the report, but it noted that the ratio changed in the more desirable, close to campus parking zones.

The question of whether Security and Parking should keep these statistics will be brought up in the administration board meeting, said Shankel.
Shankel Expects Naming Of Business School Dean
a year ago last month, Clark resigned the deanship to take a position as vice president for academic affairs at the State University of New York.
Saricks declined to comment further because, if an appointment were to be announced, the Kansas Board of Regents would have to be notified first, he said.
Top administrators disagreed yesterday on whether an announcement about the appointment of a permanent dean of the School of Business would be made this week, more than a year after the resignation of Clifford Clark, former dean.
Moreover, comments he might make could jeopardize the proceedings, Saricks
Ambrose Saricks, vice chancellor for academic affairs, responded, "He's more
"The committee went after some very good people—the best they could find," he
In the months that have followed Clark's resignation, a search committee was appalled at how quickly his job had fallen.
"A substantive announcement on the appointment should be made by Thursday or Friday," Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, said yesterday.

"Spooner Art Museum is the best piece of architecture--some say it is the only piece of architecture-on the KU campus," Marilyn Stokstad, professor of art history and Slavic-Soviet architecture, said last night.
Stokstad focused on twelfth century European sculpture, and presented slides of the Cathedral Church of St. James, which is in the northwest corner of Spain.
Stokstad described the Cathedral from crypt to third floor. She said the original twelfth century mason died before completing the work, and finished only the crypt and marble sculptures.
Stokstad spoke about 'Glorious Portals: Some Thought on Romanesque Sculpture' as part of the Humanities Lecture Series in woodruff Auditorium.

The committee, headed by Lawrence Sherrr, associate professor of business, submitted three names to Saricks in early December.
Since then, sources say Saricks had negotiated with each of the candidates, but none of the original three choices agreed to accent the position.

"My own opinion is that in the last analysis our search committee might have done too good of a job," a member of the business school faculty said.

When we hired these researchers,we invited them to raise more questions than they answered.
Making your mark in business used to mean carving a comfortable niche for yourself and staying there. Promotion was simply a matter of time, provided you could spend 20 years in the process. But, today, business depends on technology. Technology that can't wait a moment if it's going to keep pace with what's happening.
That's why, at Kodak, our basic reliance on scientific research makes the need for creative young minds demanding than ever. We must have people with drive and ambition,patient to put what they've learned into practice. People who get all the freedom and responsibility they can handle, and tackle our problems with their ideas.
Which, we're happy to say, has helped many of our scientists yield important discoveries. For example:
The woman on the left has devised new and improved photographic materials for specialized scientific applications in fields such as astronomy and holography. The young man is an expert on surface analysis. His work in photoelectron spectroscopy helps to identify unknown substances. The woman on the right has a
dual background in gas chromatography and trace metal analysis, which is applied to analyzing pollution in rivers and streams.
They came up with new problems while solving some of our old ones. But they've uncovered some promising answers, too. As they continue their research, you may read about them again. The oldest is just over 30.
Why do we give young men and women so much room to test their ideas? Because good ideas often lead to better products. Which are good for business. And were in business to make a profit. But in furthering our own business interests, we also further society's interests. Which makes good sense.
After all, our business depends on society. So we care what happens to it.
Kodak. More than a business.
