Group Dynamics
What Becomes a Leader Most?
To get uninterested or third group members involved, Daley suggests giving each person a special assignment to have ready for the meeting. "This way they'll feel like part of the group and be ready to contribute," he says. If anyone unprepared, he adds, the meeting should be adjoined immediately in order to give everyone time to complete assignments. This allows the offender to see face and also puts tremendous pressure on him to do his work.
cations.
According to Daley, dominant people have the hard-time working in groups. "Many times they'll override group decisions and cause conflicts," notes he believes but the group leader can forestall such conflict by writing down the comments and contributions of each individual, thus "immortalizing" their ideas.
The Art of Meeting Management
Someone once said that a committee is a creature with many months and no brain. A group leader's biggest task is to group the energies of storm, outspoken group members, says Kevin Daley, president of the New York-based speech and communication firm, Communications.
There always seems to be one person in every group whose authority over others is established with us. It could that he has an awareness of professional qualities, it could that he 's practicing subtle techniques of nonverbal communication'
Verbatim communication. Height dominance is one
way to assume control of a meeting, according to Ken Cooper, author of Nonverbal Communication for Bust- Success (American Management Association, 1979, $12.55). A person who is in the high chair or
and help.
The hands can also serve as not-so-suble sign of supposed superiority, according to Nieresta. When someone joins the fingertips to make a smile looks like a christening steeple, he is some-thing telling the listener that he feels very smug about his position. He experienced a lowered level of nonverbal language will sometimes use the steepling technique as a defense when he feels caught in a weak bargaining position.
Possibly more important than establishing dominance is detecting when someone is trying to control you. Some fairly reliable signs come from the other person's facial expressions, says Geranen Nienbergen, co-author of How To Read a Person Like a Book (Cornerstone, 1972, $2.95). As a person grows in intelligence, he'll start to blink less. He also has more frequent eye contact and will tend to avoid gestures like covering the nose or scratching the nose and head.
perches on a desktop will appear to have more authority. Standing with hands the hips or behind the back is another self-assurance gesture that establishes dominance; putting, trying, leaning back in your chair—the sign of superiority and forces others to lean toward you.

New KUAC ticket proposal could triple student prices
ade drivingation.
s who speed those tickets olations. recorded on
By REBECCA CHANEY Staff Reporter
Student ticket prices for football and basketball games could as much as triple next year if recommenations made by the KU board on board ticket committee are approved today.
The KUAC board will meet at 3:30 p.m. in the Satellite Union to consider the recommendations. It also will consider proposals to move a KU-MU football game to Arrowhead Stadium and to sell beer in Memorial Stadium whether KU women's teams will join the NCAA.
Steve Leben, KUAC student board member,
said that ticket pricing in past years had been settled at board meetings to keep student ticket prices as low as possible.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS of the ticket committee would allow the board to set policy regarding pricing and let the athletic department work out specific costs.
The committee also has proposed a policy for the board to adopt requiring students to pay half the public price for both football and basketball tickets.

Leben said the proposed pricing policy was unjustified and drastic. Based on this year's public prices, $19 student tickets would cost $31 for a seven-game football season and $15 student tickets would cost $33.50 for a 14-game basketball season.
BASED ON NEXT year's prices, which have not been set officially, student tickets could cost $36 for football and $42 for basketball. Leben said.
He said that he had met with athletic officials and student board members and that a compromise could be worked out before the board met this afternoon.
The ticket policy committee, headed by David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, will meet at 2:30 p.m. today, before the board meeting, to finalize its recommendations.
Leben said that he met with Bob Marcum, the director, yesterday, and that the two had
agreed to recommend to the committee at the 2:30 meeting that student football tickets be based on one-third the public cost rather than one-half.
"That would mean tickets would cost about $25. Leben ansteht, so that it's out of line with the other ones." There are $2 two tickets.
consulting prices were necessary
AMBLEER SAID the recommendations would
be thoroughly discussed at both meetings today
before any decision was made.
If adopted, the policy could be put into effect gradually over the next few years. Leben said.
He also said he believed some of the information used to back up the committee's recommendation was "unintentionally" misleading.
"But phasing it in doesn't change the problem," he said. "It only lengthens the pain. Let's not accept something we don't think is fair or true, it's not going to take effect for two or three years."
"When you talk about increases, students have to bear their fair share of the load," he said. "But a major reason that student income has declined is that we've paid off our debt that we agreed to finance (the east stadium addition of a 7,000-seat student section). Lo and behold, revenues did decrease, but they were supposed to."
Leben said the information did not include student contributions to women's athletics and distorted declining percentages of student contributions to the total athletic department budget.
He also said private contributions had increased to more than $1 million a year.
KU STUDENT FUNDING for athletics is comparable to other schools in the Big Eight
"The athletic department is in a difficult situation. It is not a desperate situation, but it is serious."
Significant increases in funding of women's athletics have to be made, he said. Also, KU's football and basketball recruiting budgets are second to lowest in the Big Eight, and the capital improvements budget is the lowest in the Big Eight.

Kansan spurs Senate debate
The Senate approved the Finance and Auditing Committee's report, which included 13 of the 58 members unfunded under the Revenues
The University Daily Kansan's $1 student activity fee increase request provoked a two-hour Student Senate debate before it was approved last night.
It also deferred a decision on the recommendation to remove the School of Architecture and Urban Design Student Council from the code until tomorrow's meeting. Six remaining recommendations will be considered Thursday before it is taken on the entire recommendations bill.
recommendations but will approve the bill, it will ask Acting Chancellor Del Shakel to increase the $11.10 activity fee to $14.52.
terri Fry, Kansan business manager, defended the fee increase before the Senate.
"We've done things in an effort to keep even with rising costs," Fry said, "but if we raise our rates to our advertisers any more, we'll no longer be competitive."
Three student seniors voiced opposition to the Kansan's request. The Kansan receives $72,260 and requested that its total allocation be increased to $109,890. The Kansan now receives $2 from the activity fee.
Fry also answered questions from Steve McMurry, Transportation Board chairman, concerning the Kansan's cash carry-forward account.
"The Kansan is a half-a-million-dollar business," Fry said. "Our costs vary from month to month. Cash carry-forward is to maintain our costs."
