Law Students Establish University Ombudsman
By BOB DICKSON Kansan Staff Writer
Having landlord problems,
academic difficulties or are you
up against what you consider an
unfair housing or trade practice?
KU now has an office where you can unload your woes. The office, located in the activity center of the university, provides an ombudsman service to mediate problems or direct students to proper channels for complaints.
The umbushman office is believed to be the first to be hired by students. It is an outgrowth of a temporary umbushman program set up by the University to teach the students conflicts that arose after alternatives to "class as usual" are offered during a period of unrest
Dave Dysart, Wichita law student, asked me in last week's lecture that students wanted to continue it this fall. After he was elected president of the University, he decided to investigate the possibility of a student-owned offering from a university-wide basis. He found the administration very receptive.
THE MEDIATION service already has been presented to the ommunist. Already about a dozen cases have problems. Housing, rent, fair trade practices and academic affairs will be handled by the
Officers of the first year law student class selected a director of the ombudsman program, Jeff McNamara, and a student. He then joined the officers in interviewing and selecting nine other ombudsmen. They will staff the office, open a website, and join in the activity lounge of the union.
Dysart explained the office as "mediators, and no more."
"IF WE were to become advocates for any side, we would have to rely on the effectiveness on a university scale. We will study cases and direct the person registering the complaint to the proper people if we believe that such an effect is beneficial."
Dysart explained that the ambulances were not lawyers and did not intend to become a law firm. They have knowledge and experience concerning the workings of the university and the community. They will have resources to equip them with staff members of every case brought to them.
A line of communication has been opened between the ombudsman and the University Judiciary. If an ombudsman calls for a judge, he should be taken to the judiciary, he will arrange an appointment between the plaintiff and a judiciary representative. Charles Oldfather, university attorney, agreed to work with the program.
**OUTSIDE** legal defense or assistance necessary the Douglass County A Society has agreed to do to assist can to assist the embudghment.
The umbsudman office is chartered under the Vice-President, and Dyatran and Spears emphasize that the program is totally independent. They said that that company will provide allocation for office supplies, but
Library Tours Offered Again
The Watson Library will again offer guided tours of its facilities and provide assistance are under the direction of Watson librarians, will be handled somewhat differently than term. The library associate reference librarian
to move in this direction has been taken.
The afternoon office hours were set to test response. If sufficient response is received, the program requires it, the office will be opened on a full-time day.
Instead of having a glut of tours offered only during the first two weeks of the semester, they will meet on Friday at 9:30 a.m. and at 2 p.m. until the demand for them ebs. The first tour will be held Thursday.
PRESENTLY THE office is working on a goodwill policy, hoping people will co-operate in
the mediation effort to insure just treatment to all. The executive committee will operate the office of a mediator, and it is required for a set policy guaranteed by the administration, students and staff members. In the case, time they will do whatever is required to maintain the ombudsman system in appropriate mediation service.
Students may sign up for the tours at the main exit control in Watson.

THE FINANCIAL report also reveals that KU's 1,047.76 acres holdings are the biggest real
This figure does not reflect the cost of constructing the buildings originally or of replacing them in
today's market. Lower costs of land and construction in previous years have helped University alumni and friends account for the bargain prices.
