Fine Arts Committee Challenged
The University of Kansas chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AUP) is committed to Ambrose Sarkits, vice chancellor for academic affairs, why no members of the School of Fine Arts faculty were appointed to a three-hour committee chair?
The letter referred to a committee that Saricks appointed in February to study possible reorganization of the school. The committee also made recommendations before next fall when a search will begin for a successor for Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
The AAUP letter questioned the decision to appoint "current or former administrators only, none of them with direct involvement in the School of Fine Arts". The professors also asked why no students were appointed to the study committee and alleged that the appointments were made by the University governance structure.
Grant Goodman, professor of history and president of the KU chapter of AAUP, wrote the letter after the association's executive board announced that the matter in a meeting last Wednesday.
Goodman said the AAUP chapter was concerned that the selection of the study committee would set a precedent for future campus committees.
"It seems to be a departure from the usual role of the University governance as

"I think that for the job the vice chancellor asked us to do, it's better that there are no members of the faculty of the School of Fine Arts on the committee," he said.
If the committee report recommends specific changes in the organization of the school, he said, students will participate in approving or rejecting those recom-
50-50 Funding Compromise Is Proposed for LA&S 48
By JACK McNEELY
Kansas Staff Reporter
If a proposed compromise to fund the Liberal Arts and Sciences 48 program isn't accepted, the program will be dropped or severely cut next year, Jerry Lewis, director of the program, said yesterday. The program costs about $20,000.
The compromise calls for the University administration to fund half the program and for the senate to fund the other half from student activity fees.
Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor,
said, "If the senate asks us to fund part with
matching funds, the University ad-
dopts it. It will probably try to find the
funds to do it."
John Beinser, Salina junior and student body president, said the administration should fund the entire program because the program generated inexpensive class credit hours for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and because students would pay the program twice if they paid tuition and supported the program through activity fees.
The college's number of credit hours affects the amount of money allotted to it by the college.
The committee is meeting this week with groups of faculty members in the school and later will conduct individual interviews with department heads and faculty members,
There are no plans to meet with fine arts students, but students who have opinions on how the school should be organized can talk to the committee, he said.
Lewis said the college was unable to fund a program because its budget had been seven times lower than it needed.
George Waggoner, dean of the college,
and there were no funds in the college's budget.
Richard Paxson, Baxter Springs senior and member of the University Senate Executive Committee, said "It's going to be a challenge (to execute) to swallow if we have to fund part of it."
Alvin Dewey, assistant director of the program, said that tonight he would ask the staff to review the report.
Beisner said the senate's half of the funds could come from the senate's portion of the budget.
"We're going ahead with planning of courses as if we were going to have it." I nod.
But, Parson said, he would support the 50 compromise if its defeat meant that the U.S. would not intervene.
The other committee members are Edward Bassett, dean of the School of Journalism, and George Smith, professor of History and former dean of the School of Education.
Dewey said the program had reached
Dewey said the program had reached about 2,800 students and generated about 7,200 credit hours for the college each year and cost two assistant professorships.
