Major issues facing the University of Kansas will be addressed at a University-wide convolution after spring break, Acting Chancellor Del Shankel said yesterday.
Shankel to address issues
Designated as the convocation's feature speaker, Shankel declined to say what issues would be addressed. He said that the convocation was suggested yesterday by KU's chapter of the American Association of University Professors executive board.
"the members of the AAPU executive board felt there were some major issues the University needed to address," he said. "They asked if I should continue an all- university meeting and I agreed."
The AAUP was not the first group to express
concern about the issues facing KU. Shankel said various administrators talked to him as well.
But he denied that the convocation would be held as an emergency measure.
"There are just a number of major issues that they wanted me to address," he said.
However, the convocation was the AAUF's idea, Shankel said.
The approach Shankel had planned was a letter to the University, similar to the letter in the Kansas Wedding.
That letter discussed academic standards for athletes. Those standards have been in question since the Kansas City Times published an article about the academic standards were lowered for athletes.
Adverse public reaction to the letter did not affect his decision to assemble the convocation,
He said it was too early to tell about reaction to the letter.
I even what the AAPU and
smank think were the major issues.
I think I love them.
Evelyn Swartz, AAUP president, lauded
Shankel's endorsement of the convocation.
some or these issues out into the open," she said. Swartz would not reveal what the AAUF and I did, but he noted.
"I think I have to respect his confidence on that," she said.
Funds sought for Haworth addition
No specific date for the convocation has been set, Shankel said, but it will occur after spring break, which ends March 22. He said the date would be announced next week.
The place is also uncertain.
Neither Shankel nor Swartz could remember the last time such a convocation was held.
"It depends on whether I think there might be another reason," she thinks, "that think that Algen Field Hockey would put them up."
Scholarship

who said it was not always possible to be alone and that he began to feel the lack of comfort.
Regier also said students in the halls were "relatively homogeneous, mostly from Kansas, mostly from small towns." Regier said the extensive recruiting system was needed.
Cliff said the Office of Residential Programs was taking steps to encourage minority students and those from out of state to apply live in scholarship halls.
This year every applicant is being asked to fill out self-description car and mail it in.
The card asks whether the student is handicapped, what his ethnic background is, and whether he is in school.
halls. The office hopes to find out how many minority students are applying and how it might attract a variety of students.
The most important qualification for being accepted is the ability to live cooperatively with other students, judged by their answers to questions on the application form.
Letters of recommendation and academic performance are taken into account, but the only prerequisite for a KU student is a 2.5 grade point average on a 4.0 scale. Financial need is considered, but it is not mandatory.
Students not bad tenants
J. J. WILSON, director of the KU housing office, said by the end of this summer, Pearson and Miller Halls should be accessible to students in wheelchairs.

The stereotype of students as careless tenants is a misconception, say many Lawrence landlords.
"That's a popular fallacy," Joe Stroup,
owner of Village Square Apartments said.
He also said the city was losing $18.7M.
Gary Stevenson, manager of Park-25 Apartments, said that each apartment deteriorated differently, but that per person cost more, sometimes more conscientious tenents.
"I just depends on the people that are in there," he said. "Very seldom do you get a request from the permanent residents, but many of them with leases are always having a problem."
Landlords said they spent more time repairing the normal wear and tear on carpeting and plumbing, instead of on

specific problems involving carelessness and vandalism.
Managers said bad weather affected the deterioration of carpeting because tenants track in mud and snow, especially in hallways and lobbies.
"Your carpeting is the first thing to go, Stroup said. "It's a constant problem."
Weather also affects the deterioration of the landscaping around an apartment complex.
"Our units have disposals and students have a tendency to put things in them that are too large."
Juanita Hubbard, manager of The Malls Old English Village apartments, said plumbing was the main problem, because the apartments aggravated plumbing problems for her.
Above all, preventive maintenance was the key to keeping an apartment complex functional and nice-looking, the managers said.

The full committee will finish hearing subcommittee reports today and will take final action on the individual and system-wide budgets.
The KU subcommittee's stand on the Haworth added drew the only debate yesterday.
Subcommittee chairman Ron Hein, R-Topek, said that Snow Hall was inadequate, unsuitable and overcrowded and that steps to alleviate the best interest of the University and the state.
"Maybe those are euphemisms for what we saw there. He said, referring to the language in support
"That's correct," Hein answered.
Steinger told the committee that this was an example of why the public criticized lawmakers.
COMMITTEE MEMBER Jack Steineger, D-Kansas City, interrupted Hein and asked, "But we're not going to do anything about it?"
Hayden shared Steiniger's feelings about the Legislature, but for a different reason.
He said the deep cuts were being made in Carlin's proposed budget to avoid a tax increase near the end of the year.
"We in government can't figure out how to work things around," he said. "It would be more important to fix up conditions (at KU) than to do education) playing fields (at Wichita State)."
*Taking from one area and putting it in another data mine the benefit for the tax*
Hayden said it was not fair to ask some to sacrifice while others were told it was all right to go ahead.

But Stansifer said the reform did not result in reduced violence. "The right didn't like any form of reform and the left said that it hadn't been enough," he said. There were an estimated 13,000 people killed in El Salvador in 1980. Stansifer said that it was impossible to determine which side,左 or right, was doing most of the killing.
But both sides have accused each other of taking the people who are not really involved with the political strife. Stansifer said that he had been surprised to find that most of the people he talked with in El Salvador were more upset with the leftist terrorists than with those of the right. Stansifer arrived in El Salvador in August 1980, shortly after the leftists had called for a general strike against the government. He said the strike was a failure. The govern-
