James K. Hitt at Work
... director of the Office of System Development
KU Coordination Sought
When KU was that uncomplicated, he said the Chancellor had to rearrange sections. There was only one building to maintain. He could have personal contact with each student and keep his students' records himself.
Early in the history of the University of Kansas there was a challenge to four faculty members and 10 or 16 students. The process of running the university then was quite difficult, but Hitt, director of the Office of System Development, began his office in a recent interview.
As the University grew, Hitt said, the Chancellor's job became more and more complicated, and
he soon had to hire other people to take over the jobs that he had done. "Before," Hitt said, "if a student had a sore throat, he would go to the Chancellor, and he would be able to take some asprins and go home. Now he would tell the student go to Watkins Hospital."
Hitt, who was registrar here for 28 years, said he had been familiar with the use of computers to keep track of students and had wondered how they were able to do this. He the University's activities. He said that KU is one of the few places that has a system like this.
Hit said he didn't know what the end result of system development would be. Some offices may be eliminated or consolidated or new ones might be created. He said part of the office would be to examine and rationalize bureaucracy.
What all this led to was the creation of the Office of System Development in July of 2004. The development is to use computers to coordinate students, employees, facilities, financial accounts and personnel. It has a large data base. This would be a central file or the counter part of the Chancellor of long ago who everything in his head, Hitt said.
"A bureauracy you build is better than one you inherit," he said.

The fighting began last week among the militants who had breached truce agreements by continuing to keep weapons in the city and by moving them to a safer location.
A reply by the central committee of guerrilla organizations conceded that weapons were still in the capital but said they had been kept there because government forces failed to remove "military manifestations" and "military manifestations" from Amman.
In Jerusalem, Israeli officials said the government could not accept the reported canal offer

University Events, Affairs Scheduled by Committee
The University Events Committee, comprised of nine students and nine faculty members, was organized for the purpose of approving, coordinating, and scheduling activities at KU.
Headed by Emily Taylor, dean of women, the committee meets every Tuesday to acquaint them with recent developments in order to obtain approval to schedule an activity or event. All affairs that are brought before the committee and ratified by the University Calendar of Events.

MANILA (UPI)—Health authorities have threatened to close 515 small hospitals in the Philippines unless they meet certain requirements by law. Officials said the hospitals, representing 70 per cent of the total 737 hospitals in the country, have bed capacities below 25, which in some cases below 25, when they say, is undesirable.
A spokesman for the group said it will be a celebration where women all over the world will get involved in different issues concerning women.
Some of the day's activities will include a bicycle parade and march, workshops, dinners and dinner honoring Vietnamese women. It is to be a celebration in which all women are encouraged to parade.

Boundaries, Busing Discussed by Board
Policies for school boundaries and for student busing were topics of extended discussion at a meeting of the Lawrence Board of Education.
Two motions to change school boundaries were tabled. The school board and Pinckney, in one motion, India and Kennedy in the other. The board directed school administration to hear hearings on the changes so that residents of the affected areas can have a chance to give their opinions.

didates wish to have this regulation changed by the state legislature to improve the quality of health care at KU.
Wall said his campaign will not aim at any particular segment of the student community
Wall talk about the qualities he thought were essential to a good student body president
"in the eyes of the extra-University community the student body president projects the vision of the student," Wall said. He also believes the office requires a team of dedicated, open-minded type of person.
A trend of the last few years that Wall and Pierson say bothers them has been the use of their statements. They say that on matters dealing directly with the University, the student leaders in the Wall disapproves of the president and vice-president of the university, their political views through their office states that this frequently gives the outside community the wrong impression of the thoughts of most students.
The candidates emphasized their qualifications for the offices they seek. Wall is a Summerfield scholar and a winner of the Veta B. Lecar Award his freshman year. Pearson was vice-president of the human class and a member of the University Events Committee.
presented figures showing recent shifts in school enrolments. Fisher said that although total enrollment figures for the district had remained nearly constant in the last several years, there had been a definite shift in the orientation toward the edges of town.
The problem, Fisher said, was deciding how to divide the school boundaries so that each school is within a certain distance and said that now some schools in the center of Lawrence had enrollments considerably under capacity and that other schools in the image of town were overcrowded.
Complicating this problem, Fisher said, was the fact that students from rural areas are often too ill prepared. The board discussed the problems of assigning rural students to attendance areas that would be constant enough to meet them with educational continuity.
Orchestra Replaces Union Band
Chalk Rock Revue will be held on June 18th using a use of a union band, according to producer Gardiner Rapelle. The union pit band will be replaced by the Chalk Rock Band.
This year the revue will have an orchestra consisting of 15 musicians and four string instruments. Raplese said the local musicians' union would not agree to perform if the seven musicians were not paid union rates.
Tickets for the Rock Chalk Revue will go on sale Wednesday in the SUA office in the Student Union.

Journalism Plans Changes of Studies
Edward P. Bassett, dean of the Edward P. Bassett, recently told the Board of the William Allen White Foundation that the journalism curriculum
He said that curriculum studies were being made of a proposed combination of the present six journalism sequences into three or four. It has been proposed that magazine and public relation sequences would be combined into the news-editorial sequence
The graduate curriculum is also being reviewed by John Bremner, associate professor journalism and study coor-
neer, and chair of the committee, Calder M. Dickey, professor journalism, is the chairman.
Making the western civilization and foreign language requirements of students with those of the College of Science and Sciences may also be studied.
At the meeting, Bassett accepted his duties as director of the foundation. He said he owed a deep debt to Lee F. Young, associate dean of the School of Journalism, who served as acting president from 1960 until Bassett assumed his duties on August 1, 1970.
Dickett; Bremmer; Del Brinkman, assistant professor journalism; and Dana Leibengoad, assistant to the dean, were recognized for outstanding work. Russell praised the students
Bassett praised the students who attended journalism classes last spring, despite campus
disturbances. He said enrollment in the School of Journalism had begun to stabilize.
Bassett said the budget for the 1971-72 school year had been approved as submitted. The Bassett team was then being operated in part, Bassett said, with old student fee contributions from existing surplus
Bassett said future editorial conferences would be designated Elmer F. Beth Editorial Conference for journalism who died last year.
The Intentions of Inventions
[1] Theorem 6.14. For a given integer $n$, there exists an integer $k$ such that
$$\sum_{i=1}^{n} i \leq k.$$
This theorem is useful in the study of integers and their properties, as it allows us to find the smallest possible sum of consecutive integers. It also has applications in computer science, particularly in number theory and cryptography.
