Budget and Information System.

The wish list was especially misleading, said Chalmers, because faculty members would ask for money or positions and then "when they settled and the faculty adjourned, actual allocations were made."
A CONCEPT of administrative positions "having a life of their own with dollars attached" is a prominent theme in Jimerson's moral philosophy.
"This concept makes so much sense to me that it almost self-evident. Yet they are people within this approach for whom this is almost as foreign as it if applebable. Chalmer explains."
A fallacy of the present budget system, Chalmers says, is that a new budget is drawn up each year. This means there are a lot of positions again and no way to determine whether any or all of the new departments, reduced or increased in salary or whether the incumbent is the same as in previous years.
Such a concept is not designed to slow down anyone or decrease human flexibility. Chalmers said
THE UTILIZATION of this concept will provide a much-needed historical record of the United States, according to the Chancellor.
Chalmers acknowledged having difficulty convincing the state's other university and
college administrators of the merits of a formulated budget system.
Moreover, Chalmers, Hitt and Heller agreed that KU could have much difficulty if it were the only institution of higher education that tried to maintain a limited budget system in Kansas.

Whatever benefits that a formulated budget and budget adjustment will depend largely upon the establishment of a complex, computerized information system. The information system is expected to coordinate and store it if a decentralized level of the University and predict necessary adjustments for expected or even unanticipated levels.
The office, located at 1318 Louisiana St. in a three-story clapboard structure that was once the residence of former KU Chancellor Francis H. Snow, is located at K. Hitt, former KU registrar.

which, in turn, creates a greater

"Whoever I describe my job," said Hitt, "people say, 'Aha! Big Brother!'"
"Now we have the technology, the third-generation computer, which will predict resource needs by model building and simulation.
Although he agrees that such a question is valid, the payoff in good cybernetic system. Hittie will make a decision and little resource loss.
"It's worth the cost, I think, of developing a complex data-based information system, even against the odds of unwise disclosure." said Hirth
"Presently we lose resources allocations because of poor decision-making and not get the information that they need," he said, and "the same problems remain with our system also establishes controls which can be imposed."
Disclosures of information to the wrong applicants, Hitt said, will also be prevented by the employer on whom information is stored.
"The most satisfying justification for this system that I've found yet is that I'm not so sure anyone's information is so
Hitt said he was uncommitted to any one form of university organization.
AT LEAST, said Hitt, under the new information system we will know what the information is and where it is stored.

realize that organization must always change patterns in information and modify these for information at various levels in the new organization," said Sandra.
Chalmers said that he had "virtually insisted upon" the need for a computer system, especially the information system that the university is using.

Chalmers said he had other experiences with similar information systems. In the 50's and early 60's he worked for
It's what I managed to establish at another university, he said. When he was vice president for academic affairs at Florida State University, he said he wanted to
THE INFORMATION system that is planned for the University, Chalmer's, is similar to ones now used by the U. S. Army, the International Telephone & Post Office, and Early Warning Defense System.

Inc. (TRW), using classified
information from satellites in
international model-building and
research, he said. Chancellor said he was still in contact with TRW as a consultant, but was associated with the company, much lesser degree, than before.
Thompson Ramo Wooldridge developed missile defense systems to produce the M-14 rifle for the U. S. Army in 1981 and worked on Atlas, Titan and Minuteman missiles and coordinated the U. S. Air Force's missile defense program.
Both Hitt and Chalmers said they thought the parts of the information system already set up themselves proved themselves favably.
