Shankel to address issues
Major issues facing the University of Kansas will be addressed at a University-wide convocation after spring break, Acting Chancellor Del Shankel said yesterday.
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 AAUP executive board felt there were some maj issues the University needed to address," he said. "They asked if I could convince 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 AAUP's idea, Shankel said.
The approach Shankel had planned was a lesson to the University, similar to the letter in the Kaiser.
That letter discussed academic standards for athletes. Those standards have been in question since the Kansas City Times published an article that called for 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.
these issues out into the open," she said. Swartz would not reveal what the AAUP and others were thinking.
Evelyn Swartz, AAUP president, lauded Shankel's endorsement of the convocation.
"We felt that this was the time to bring some of these issues out into the world," he said.
"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.
Neither Shankel nor Swartz could remember the last time such a convoction was held.
The place is also uncertain.
"It depends on whether I think there might be 500 people. "Shankel said, "think that Alten Feld may have to wait."
Roommate
From page 6
"Students could come to the clinic in the fall when it's less crowded," Karpowitz added. "That's also the beginning of most roommate relationships."
According to Karpowitz, students with mild roommate problems would be better served at the counseling center than at the psychological clinic. The clinic, which has a sliding fee scale based on one's income and number of dependents, helps those with more intense personal problems and is heavily scheduled at this time.

Nance said he was sometimes the third party in roommate conflicts. He defined him as a "troublemaker."
"Problems can go too far," he added.
"Sometimes the best solution is a roommate change, but I look at that as a last resort."
"I might hold a joint conference, but I get both sides before doing so," he said. "I remember what both parties had told me, and I remember conference I stress openness and honesty."
From making rules to seeking counseling, nothing guarantees success with roommates. But working at a relationship has its rewards, according to Karowitz.
"I living with a roommate is great experience for later relationships," Karpowitz said. "For example, the real key to solving marriage is being able to problem solve."
Rundquist said it was not the fact of conflict itself, but how it was handled that mattered.
"What determines whether the experience is destructive is how it's dealt with. A good counselor can deal with these conflicts as they cope up, it can be a very positive experience."

governor to offer an amendment to his recommendations to put back the $188,005 to cover the University's expected deficit in its contributions to the employee retirement fund.
The KU subcommittee's stand on the Haworth addition drew the only debate yesterday.
Both houses are facing a March 13 deadline to take action on their bills, so that they can cover the costs.
The full committee will finish hearing subcommittee reports today and will take final action on the individual and system-wide budgets.
Subcommittee chairman Ron Hein, R-Topke,
said that Snow Hall was inadequate, unsuitable
and overcrowded and that steps to alleviate
the burden in the best interest of the
University and the state.
"That's correct." Hein answered.
COMMITTEE MEMBER Jack Steinberger, D-keeps us updated, "But we are not going to do anything about what is happening."
"Maybe those are euphemisms for what we saw there." He said, referring to the language in "The New York Times".
Steineger told the committee that this was an example of why the public criticized lawmakers.
Hayden shared Steiner's feelings about the Legislature, but for a different reason.
"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 educate (at education) playing fields (at Wichita State)."
He said the deep cuts were being made in Carlin's proposed budget to avoid a tax increase in interest rates.
"Taking from one area and putting it in another does not mitigate the need for a tax increase."
Hayden said it it was not fair to ask some to sacrifice while others were told it was all right to do so.

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. Stanser said that it was impossible to determine which side, left or right, was doing most of the killing.
But both sides have accused each other of being involved in the political struggle.
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.
Stanifer added in El Salvador in August of 2014, for a general strike against the government.
