Resource Office Proposal Sent to Chalmers' Office
By ELAINE ZIMMERMAN Kansan Staff Writer
A resolution calling for the creation of a University Resources was passed by the University Council Thursday through the clampier.
Richard Rundquist, professor of education and chairman of the Academic Procedures and Policies Committee, presented recommendations concerning the Office of Instructional Resources.
Rundquist said the Office of Instructional Resources must provide information gathering departments within the University to evaluate current methods and outcomes in long-term effects of instruction.
The office should be within the Academic Affairs unit of the University. Rundquist said, and contend that instruction quality of instruction, educational innovation, educational research and evaluation of
He said that the person chosen for this office must be able to devise a plan to work at time to it. If the position was manned on a part-time basis and supported by existing funds, it could not accomplish its task.
RUNDQUET ADVOCATED an advisory board, appointed by SenEx. to assist in the establishment of the office.
Lengthy discussion concerning the adoption of a mail ballot in the University Senate, by which
voting could be done without attending Senate meetings, also took place. The debate was prompted by the results of a procedure in the Senate and structural changes in the Senate and Council.
Roy Laird, professor of political science and chairman of the organization Administration Committee, presented the results of the questionnaire concerning process of nomination for the Senate and council. Of those responding, 245 favored adoption of a bill to override the handling by the Senate. There were 107 who favored a mail vote. Only six gave negative responses.
The interpretations of these events were varied. Some faculty members were advised to a mandate to adopt a mail ballot. Student *Student*, members, however, did not receive the survey and that student consensus was to reject a mail ballot. Of 97 eligible student senators, only 12 were selected.

A faculty member brought out that sparse faculty attendance did not interfere with conflicting commitments. He had busy professors to participate.
Some members saw the issue as a question not of student versus faculty power, but of the institution's role in discussion. Opponents of the mail ballot said that if the measure were adopted all sides of a question could not be brought to agreement by Senate members before voting.
ONE FACULTY MEMBER cited a disadvantage of the open forum. Professors are a timid sort in a public meeting, he said, and they must vote according to his actual feelings to vote the ballots were secret.
One student said that the adoption of the mail ballot would not have worked in a working relationship between the faculty and students which had been brought about in part by the inclusion in the University Senate.
Another faculty member mentioned that perhaps the crux of the issue was the necessity of a mail ballot to require the requirement. If the ostensible purpose of the mail ballot was to facilitate decision-making in the absence of a quorum, that end would have been abolishing the quem, he said.
A motion was made that the Organization and Administration Committee prepare a resolution to elect the University Senate ballot which would be referred to the University Senate for a final decision. The motion was

HOWARD HUGHES abandoned his hotel hideaway in the Bahamas and fleed to Nicaragua on a trip officially described as a business visit with President Anastasia Somozia. In his usual manner, Hughess slipped secretly away from the suite in Nassau during the trip for 15 months. But in the background of the sudden pulloot was a reported squabble with authorities over the work permits of his staff.

The Council deferred any concrete action on the calendar until its next meeting on March 16.

The defense secretary said he had believed the new undersea-launched missile system (ULMS) would proceed but that its dimension and scope might be a result of a SALT agreement.
Lard denied in an interview he had changed his position earlier in the day when he first said, "I will work as a submarine-missile speedup with the arms negotiation and later told newsmen any negotiated deal."
This way, Laird said, the ULMS submarine could be added as older Polaris submarines are phased out.

The proposal came from the Board of Regents would not require the faculty member to work as an office to run for office. Miller said.
Miller said most of the non- tenuitional fees collected at KU were administered by the Student Senate, but this was not the case in all colleges where some funds were allocated by administrations.
Miller said that generally the legislators favored increased allocations.
Miller said the council, composed of the student body presidents from Iowa state and university, wrote letters Feb. 2 to all state legislators urging more state colleges and universities.
Miller said he thought the consensus of the student body presidents was that the student governments should have the power to fund funds without being subject to administrative control.
The committee also discussed the collection and administration of fees. The committee presented Presently the collection of fees is under the jurisdiction of the Hospice Association and the administration of the fees is determined on each individual patient.
